	1. Installation and uninstallation

	   	To install Devil16's Rage FrontEnd, you only have to unzip the 
	   DvRFE209.ZIP file in a temporary directory and then execute dvragefe.exe.
	   Uncompress the screens.zip file in the screens\ directory.

		To uninstall the program, just go to the Other Stuff panel and click
	   the uninstall button. The frontend will then delete its registry keys and
	   you'll be able to delete the program directory.

	2. Requirements

		This program needs Windows 95 to run (not tested on NT yet), and your 
	   screen resolution should be 800x600 or higher. You must also have RAGE v0.9 
	   and, if you want to use compressed ROMs, PkUnzip is required.

		This program requires no DLLs and needs 1.5 Mb of free disk space.

	5. Playing games

		You can run games either compressed or uncompressed. You can also have the
	   games drivers in a separate directory.

		The only thing you have to do is select the commandline options for Rage,
	   choose a game (a screenshot will be shown) and then press the 'Run [game]' 
	   button. Doubleclicking or singleclicking on a list item (depending on the 
	   selected interface) will also run the game. If you use compressed ROMs, the game 
	   will be uncompressed and then run. Note that the ZIP file must have the game's
	   short name (imgfight.zip, nspirit.zip, gunjp.zip, etc).

		If the game is not available and you try to run it, a dialog box will be
	   shown telling you why it's not available.

	6. Internet links

		There are several internet links in this program: to RAGE home page, to
	   Devil16's RAGE FrontEnd home page and to some emulator news pages. There is
	   also a link to PkWare FTP site. Only by clicking in this link your web browser 
	   will be launched and you'll be able to download PkZIP/PkUnZIP v2.04g.
