and

utilities and receiving a printed manual, telephone support, notice of

These documentation files can be printed via the PRINTDOC.BAT batch
command file by issuing the command PRINTDOC

------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is normally no need to "install" the Professional Master Key
utilities. If you are the adventurous type who never read manuals, just
run PMK.

Please be somewhat cautious when running programs like Zero Disk,
Zero File, and Un Format. They could get you into trouble if you bypass
the warnings and safeguards built into the programs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------


Notes for "semi-compatible" IBM PC clones:

The Professional Master Key Utilities will run "out of the box" on
99.99% of all IBM compatible computers. If you suspect or know that
your computer is an older not-very-IBM-compatible, try running the
programs with the option /Slow ON specified. Doing this instructs the
programs to display video output using more well-behaved BIOS routines.
Refer to the documentation for instructions on making this the default
setting through the INSTALL.EXE program.

Example: PMK /Slow ON
