USING THE DISK UTILITY

You should use the Disk Utility program to create master floppy disks
(also called installation or distribution disks) for all the programs on
your hard drive.  The master disks will be necessary if you ever need to
reconfigure or reinstall these programs.

An Important Notice screen pops up each time you start WinMate to remind
you that you should make master disks.  If you do not want to make master
disks, click Exit to ignore the Important Notice screen.  If you choose
to make master disks, the program gives you the opportunity to back up
Windows or any other applications.  The Disk Utility program can also be
found in the Main group on the Windows Program Manager.

When you finish making master disks for an application, you have the
option to free some hard disk space by deleting that portion of the
Disk Utility program, or to return to the Important Notice screen.
From the Important Notice screen, you can make master disks for another
application, or exit to WinMate.

The screen continues to pop up each time you start WinMate until you use
the Disk Utility and make master disks of each application.

Whenever you finish using the Disk Utility a second Important Notice
screen pops up.  This screen gives you the opportunity to make backup
disks of the WinMate program.
