 Welcome to the new RC5-DES (Project Bovine/Project Monarch) Client for OS/2.

    1.0  Getting started
    2.0  OS/2 specific notes
    3.0  Help! 
   
 1.0  Getting started ------------------------------------------------
 
    Just unpack the client in a directory of your choice and fire it up
    with [path]RC5DES.EXE

    If you have never run the client before, it will initiate the
    menu-driven configuration. Save and quit when done, the 
    configuration file will be saved in the same directory as the 
    client. Then, simply restart the client. From that point on it will 
    use the saved configuration.
    
    The configuration options are fairly self-explanatory and can be run
    at any time by starting the client with the '-config' option.
    A list of command line options is available by starting the client 
    with '-help'.

    If you prefer to have the client start automatically when the computer
    is powered up, run the client with the -install switch. To remove the
    client from the startup folder, run the client with -uninstall.

 2.0  Notes: ---------------------------------------------------------

    The distributed.net client for OS/2 has been greatly overhauled 
    and now uses the same source code base as all the other clients on
    all the other platforms. This has improved reliability since the
    chances that a bug will go unnoticed for any length of time has been
    greatly reduced.

 3.0  Help: ----------------------------------------------------------

    An immediate source of help is the IRC channel on EFnet. The 
    #distributed channel is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
