                SOFTWARE LIBRARY AREA

	=======================================

Welcome to the Microsoft Software Library (MSL) Directory . You will
find the following subdirectories for your use. 


MSLFILES: Microsoft Software library (MSL) files are a subset of the
	  Microsoft Knowledge Base.  The MSL contains over 1900 files 
	  comprised of various drivers, appnotes, sample code, patches, 
	  large documents and other information. 

SOFTLIB.EXE is an Access 2.0 database of the current files in the 
Microsoft Software Library.  The file can be used to browse the MSL 
offline to select files you wish to download from the MSL (MSLFILES). 
The .mdb is a snapshot and will be updated once a month. For the most 
current listing, read INDEX.TXT in this directory.

Please read the INDEX.TXT file in this area for the complete listing of 
all Software Library files.  

The INDEX.TXT file has the following format:

Modifieddate (yymmdd)    softlib#     filename     description

an example entry would be:

901207  S12782  WW0335.ZIP    Windows 3.00 Memory Management


The files are located in the MSLFILES directory (one directory below).

Please do not do a 'DIR' in that directory as it contains a great number  
of files, and will take several minutes to display. The INDEX.TXT file 
mentioned above lists all of the files, and is kept in synch with the 
contents of the MSLFILES directory automatically.

The MSL files are either text files, zipped files (pkzip v1.1) or
self-extracting files and can *only* be obtained by their Filename
and not by their Snumber.
All Mac files are converted to BinHex format (.HQX)
