-----------------------------------------------------------------
                    System Requirements
-----------------------------------------------------------------

   * Windows 98, Windows Millenium, WinNT4.0 or Win2k
     or
   * Win95 with IE 4+ installed
     - commctl32.dll version >= 4.72
     - shlwapi.dll   version >= 4.72
     - winInet.dll   version >= 4.72
   * Winsock 2.x (32-bit TCP/IP stack)

   SmartFTP is known to work on recent systems (not on Win95 and WinNT 3.5,
   except if you installed Internet Explorer 4 or above).
   It requires some recent libraries like shlwapi.dll, comctl32.DLL,
   comdlg32.DLL. The fact that we cannnot guarantee a safe installation
   is due to these dependencies and also that it would require to provide
   an installer for each language.
