*************************************************** System requirements ***************************************************
* Windows95/98/98SE/ME/NT4/2000/XP * Memory capacity recommended by the OS you use
*************************************************** Contents in unzipped folder ***************************************************
The following files will be in the program folder:
[ LS.exe ] This is the application program file. Double-click it to use the program.
[ LS.exe.manifest ] This file makes the graphic user interface (UI) consistent with the Windows XP's visual style. It must be located in the same location as LS.exe. This file is active only on Windows XP. On the other operating systems, the file is ignored.
[ LS.ini ] This file stores various setup values. Do not modify this file. For details, refer to the next section "About LS.ini".
[ Readme.txt ] This file
*************************************************** About LS.ini ***************************************************
When you exit LS.exe and restart it later, LS.exe remembers the various settings you made last time. This is possible because LS.exe stores all current settings in LS.ini when you exit the program, and LS.exe loads the data in LS.ini when you restart LS.exe.
LS.ini must be located in the same folder as LS.exe. If LS.ini cannot be found in the same folder, the settings will be initialized when you restart LS.exe.
In other words, if you do not want it to remember the current settings, delete LS.ini before you restart LS.exe. By so doing, LS.exe will use the default values every time you launch LS.exe.
After you delete LS.ini, you might feel again that you want it to remember the settings. In this case, create an empty text file (0 byte), name it LS.ini, and save it in the same folder as LS.exe. LS.exe then will resume storing the last used settings from the next use on.
