This release is freeware.

>>> ABOUT THIS PROGAM: The Orphan Finder is a tool for finding Notepad
expansion pads which are not linked (i.e. orphaned) to another top-level
or expansion pad.  In the case of an orphaned chain of pads, the orphan
finder can only find the first pad in the chain.

The Orphan Finder will search all available local S3a drives.  Drives
that are unavailable or not present are not searched.  Files that are
unavailable are skipped and may cause the reporting of "false-orphans."

At the conclusion of the search you will have a Notepad containing links
to all of the previously orphaned expansion pads in your S3a.  Please note
that these orphans may contain links to other expansion pads.

The search process, which can be quite lengthy, is interruptable at any
time.

>>> INSTALLATION:

Copy orphan.plg to any \APP\NPAD\PLUG directory.

>>> HOW TO USE IT:

1. Open an empty Notepad.  This empty Notepad can be either a top-level
or an expansion pad.  An empty Notepad contains only the <No Notes> entry.

2. Close any other open notepads.

3. Open the Plug-In menu (psion-w) in Notepad.

4. At the Orphan Finder title screen:

	- Press <Esc> to close the Orphan Finder

	- Press <Help> for on-line help

	- Press any other key to start the search process.

5. Press <Esc> at any time to interrupt the search.
