SUMMARY
=======

The enhanced Wait command included with hDC's Power version 1.0 may cause your
system to stop (hang) when run with Windows version 3.1. This problem does not
occur with Power Launcher version 2.0 or with Windows.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The problem is not with Windows 3.1, but with hDC's use of an undocumented
Windows call. hDC's incorrect use of this function goes unnoticed under Windows
3.0, but fails under Windows 3.1.

hDC corrected this problem in version 2.0 of their Power Launcher product.

The hDC product included here is manufactured by a vendor independent of
Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's
performance or reliability.
