 DESCRIPTION:

 Rname-it is a Win95/98/NT file renaming utility that specialized in batch
 process renaming.  It allows the user to select multiple files and rename
 them all at once.  Files can easily be organized and grouped by renaming
 to a new common prefix and/or padded with a unique numerical or alphabetical
 value for sorting purposes. Also features Real Time Preview and Full
 (Final) Preview to ease the user in complicated renaming procedures.
 Great for graphics collectors and webmasters!

 REQUIREMENTS:

   CPU : 486 or higher
   O/S : Windows95/98 / NT4 or higher
   RAM : (requirement varies depending on the number of filenames)

 Files included in the Package:
    Rname-it.exe  -- Rname-it executable. File size = 110,592 bytes.
    Rname-it.hlp  -- Rname-it WinHelp File.  File size = 74,641 bytes.
    tooltip.txt  -- program's tooltips = 1,635 bytes. 
    README.txt  -- This documentation file. File size = 6,547 bytes.

 INSTALLATION:
    Rname-it can be run from any directories.

    If you have the version without the setup program:
    {
      Unzip the zip file and copy all the included files to a single 
      directory. Make sure you copy the Help File into the same 
      directory where the executable file is.
    }

    If you have the version with the setup program:
    {
      Just run the setup file "rn3setup.exe" and follow the directions.
      If you have downloaded the zip package and don't know how to create
      short cuts, or for what ever reasons that you don't want to install
      the program yourself.  Then I advice you to re-download the package 
      with the setup program.  It will save you a lot of time and trouble.
      The package with the setup program can be found from my freeware site.
