                                 dtSearch 2.0 for DOS
                               dtSearch 2.0 for Windows

          The shareware version of dtSearch is distributed in three files:

               DTSD.EXE:      dtSearch 2.0 for DOS
               DTSW.EXE:      dtSearch 2.0 for Windows
               DTSDOC.EXE:    dtSearch 2.0 documentation and ALPHABET
                              utility

          These files are self-extracting archives created with ARJ 2.30.  
          To install dtSearch, create a directory on your hard disk, copy
          the archive files to the directory, and execute each of the
          archive files to uncompress them.

          The archives contain the following files:

          Files with the same name are really the same.  For example, the
          DTSEARCH.MSG file for dtSearch for Windows is exactly the same as
          the DTSEARCH.MSG file for dtSearch for DOS.

                                 Upgrade Information

               If you are upgrading from a previous version of dtSearch,
          you should install dtSearch 2.0 in a different directory from the
          old version of dtSearch.  dtSearch 2.0 uses a different index
          format from previous versions, so you should not attempt to use
          your old indexes with the new version of dtSearch.

               If you have both dtSearch 2.0 for DOS and dtSearch 2.0 for
          Windows, you can install them in the same directory so that you
          can use the same indexes and setup files for both versions.
