========================================
      INSTALLING Switch It!
========================================
1.  Unpack file switchit.zip to a temporary folder
2.  Start Control Panel
3.  Then select "Add/Remove Programs"
4.  Go to tab "Windows Setup" (or "Windows NT Setup" for
    Windows NT 4.0)
5.  Press "Have Disk..." button
6.  Browse to the folder with unpacked SwitchIt!
7.  Check "Keyboard Layout Switcher SwitchIt! 2.0" box
8.  Then select "Install"
9.  After successfull installation you will be prompted
    to press "OK"
10. You can erase temporary folder with unpacked files of
    switchit.zip now
11. Reboot your computer 
12. Start Switch It! applet from Control Panel
13. Check "Use English in dialogs" box
14. Press OK 
15. Start Switch It! applet again to see English in dialogs

Also you can install Switch It! by choosing "Install" from
the context (right click) menu of SWITCHIT.INF. You should
restart the system to complete the installation.

========================================
      UNINSTALLING Switch It!
========================================
1. Start Control Panel
2. Then select "Add/Remove Programs"
3. Go to tab "Windows Setup" (or "Windows NT Setup" for
   Windows NT 4.0)
4. Uncheck "Keyboard Layout Switcher SwitchIt! 2.0" box
5. Press "OK"
6. Reboot your computer

========================================
      WARNINGS
========================================
1. The current build of Switch It! cannot switch layouts
   until user wouldn't log-on to the network/OS. In other
   words, you can't change keyboard layout until OS wouldn't
   load your user environment. In most of the cases it
   wouldn't affect you. You may experience troubles if during
   log-on proccess you need to enter you log-name and password
   using keyboard layout which is different from the default
   one. Since until user network/OS registration procedure is
   over SwitchIt! isn't loaded, you wouldn't be able to change
   keyboard layout needed for user registration. I can see
   two solutions for this problem: 
   - To set as default the keyboard layout which you will use
     during log-on proccess as OS starts;
   - You may also use the OS built-in keyboard layout switcher
     and use its hotkey to change layout during user
     registration. Switch It! doesn't interfer with standard
     (built-in) keyboard layout switcher and they can be used
     cooperatively.
