	      RainDOS Version 1.11 Distribution Notes

			     April, 1990


RainDOS is a DOS device driver which provides a direct interface to
Digital Equipment Corporation's Rainbow DOS diskettes.  All DOS
functions are supported, including FORMAT and DISKCOPY.	 RainDOS
requires approximately 4K of memory.

If you upload these files to a BBS, please use a file name of RAIND111.
Thus, if you use SEA's ARC program, the file name would be RAIND111.ARC.

RainDOS IS NOT FREE SOFTWARE, but rather, user-supported "Shareware".
That is, if you find it useful, you must register - more details are
given in the documentation file.

READ.ME         (What you're reading now)

The CRC's are a check of the integrity of the files contained here and
should be verified by executing the following:

                CRCHECK *.*

If the CRC's and lengths match with the list above, you may be fairly
certain that you have received the files intact.

You can print the RainDOS documentation with the following DOS command:

                COPY RAINDOS.DOC PRN:

Approximately 5 printed pages result.  You may also display the file with:

                MORE <RAINDOS.DOC
