PURPOSE
-------
QuickiHash is a lightweight application that has been designed  to  load quickly
and display hashes for files in a number of different formats.

Files can be dropped into the  main  window, on  the application icon, specified
via the commandline, or using the file browser within the application itself.

The supported hashing formats are: CRC32, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512.


UPGRADING
---------
To  upgrade  your  current   installation  of  QuickiHash  to  a  newer version,
simply delete the QuickiHash directory and  extract  the  new  version's archive
to a location of your choice.


REMOVING
--------
To   remove   QuickiHash   from   your  system, delete the QuickiHash directory.
QuickiHash does not store any data on your system.


TROUBLE-SHOOTING
----------------
If you get an error when you start QuickiHash, you will
need to download the Microsoft .NET runtimes package (22MB).

In the future, a significant portion of applications written
for Windows will use the .NET runtimes, so it is a good idea
to download it now to save hassle later.
