Readme.txt - UnMute.exe for Catz 5 and Dogz 5
=======================================================

What UnMute.exe does
=====================
It reads the .pet files in a selected folder, looking for mute petz. 
Any mute pet found will be repaired.

The program will not repair any other form of corruption, whatsoever.

All standard breeds are currently supported. The program will also
attempt to recognise "New Breedz" and "Hexed Petz".


Installation
=============
1. Unzip the  UnMute.zip file to a new empty folder
2. Run setup.exe from your new folder to install.
3. If you repeatedly encounter a message like "System component update 
necessitates reboot", but rebooting doesn't get you any further, try running
the setup program in the "Safe Mode" of Windows (hold down the "F8" key while
the computer boots up).

Using UnMute.exe
=================
1. Make sure "Petz 5" isn't running

2. DO YOUR BACKUPS BEFORE USING UNMUTE.EXE 
   Though the program has been written to exacting high standards, 
and tested for bugs and viruses etc. - no liability will be accepted 
for any damage caused to your computer or software thereon.

3. Start up UnMute.exe 
   ( run "UnMute Utility for use with UbiSoft Dogz 5 and Catz 5" from the start menu)

4. Select the appropriate "Drive" and "Folder", e.g. "c:" and 
  "C:\Program Files\Ubi Soft\Studio Mythos\Petz 5\Adopted Petz"

5. Click "Go" to scan and repair mute petz in your petz folder.

6. Non-Mute petz files will remain untouched.
