DESCRIPTION:
CrackUp accurately calculates disk fragmentation percents, and reports the 
fragmentation of all local hard drives in a single window. It can run in the 
background to check fragmentation at intervals, and warn if any drive exceeds 
the specified fragmentation level. A detail report provides raw fragmentation 
data in text or CSV format.

REVISION HISTORY:
Initial release.

INSTALLATION:
To install CrackUp, place its component files (CrackUp.exe, CrackUp.hlp, and 
CrackUp.cnt) in any folder, then create a shortcut to CrackUp.exe. To remove the 
program, simply delete the files. CrackUp does not touch the system Registry. 
The only files it creates are CRACKUP.INI, stored in the same directory as 
CrackUp.exe, and the detail report, stored in the location of your choice. For 
details on program operation, refer to the program's online help file.
