Title    : MINI-ZAP 3.08
Author   : ing M.L.H. van der Meij
Function : programmable IR remote control for ATARI portfolio or standard PC
Hardware : IR-interface (See schematic in MINI-ZAP.GIF and IR-CLOCK.GIF)
Source   : Turbo Pascal 6.0, Assembly (Executable files)
           C, Assembly (device drivers)
System   : 8088 / 4.77MHz or better
           128 kb RAM (120 kb free RAM space) or more
           MS-DOS 3.3 or DIP OS 2.11 (portfolio)

         ****** IMPORTANT ******

For all XP-ZAP (portfolio version only), MINI-ZAP 1.0x; 2.xx users, be sure
to read README.2ND because this MINI-ZAP 3.08 version is a lot different !
First of all is that you can NOT use your current .RCU files without some
modifications. Read the documentaion file MINI-ZAP.DOC chapter 'converting
.RCU files to .RCD files'.

For MINI-ZAP 1.0x users (PC & portFolio version) : Do NOT use the old
MINI-ZAP 1.0x device drivers for MINI-ZAP 3.08 ! Run PC-SPEED again with
the new device driver (XPSU stays about the same)

For XP-ZAP, MINI-ZAP 1.0x & MINI-ZAP 2.0x users : The LIST command has
been removed from the program ! This function is taken over by the F1 key
with a new pop-up feature (see README.2ND & MINI-ZAP.DOC)

When running MINI-ZAP on PALMTOP computers others than Portfolio be sure that
it's parallel interface is compattible with standard MS-DOS pc (use the
driver PC-ZAP.SYS then) or if it's compattible with Portfolio parallel
interface then use PF-ZAP.SYS otherwise tell me in details how this
parallel interface works, and I make another driver.

If any bugs showup then mail me A.S.A.P !
