1. About BkpDemon
   -------------
   BkpDemon is a program for data backup and recovery
   which stores the data on an internet server:

   > Runs in the background
   > recognizes all modified / new files
     and uploads them to the backup-server
   > Automatic and manual operation 
   > Optional: Files on the backup-server are encrypted
   > The backup-server may be a local drive instead
   > backuped data are store under their
     original file date (versioning)
   > Query function for the stored data


2. Installation
   -------------
   Prerequisites:
   (1) Warp4 is required (because of incompatibilities in tcpip with Warp3)
   (2) Connection to the internet
       (only if you choose a remote server as a backup medium,
        not if you choose to use a local drive instead).

   Step-1: Open an OS/2-commandline session
   Step-2: create a BkpDemon-directory of your choice
   Step-3: unzip the distribution-file into that directory
   Step-4: run INSTALL.CMD

   The installation-program will ask to modify your config.sys for you.
   If you don't want this, you must do the modification yourself:
   Add the cdmagic-path to the PATH and LIBPATH variable.

   *** After installation you must perform a re-boot of your pc ***

3. Usage
   ------
   User's manual is provided in HTML-form in the 'manual'-directory.
   Start your web-browser and load file START.HTM
