+Restore damaged or lost files with PAR recovery files.
+
+MultiPar (set of PAR clients and GUI)
+
+/* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * */
+
+[ Introduction ]
+
+ MultiPar was made as an alternative to QuickPar.
+The GUI is similar to QuickPar by getting agreement from Peter Clements.
+While it looks like a multi-lingual version of QuickPar,
+there are some good features; Unicode characters, directory-tree,
+faster repairing, smaller recovery files, batch scripting, and so on.
+
+[ Feature ]
+
+ MultiPar supports both PAR 1.0 and PAR 2.0 specifications.
+See "http://parchive.sourceforge.net/" for details of Parchive.
+MultiPar uses UTF-8 or UTF-16 to treat filenames with non-ASCII characters.
+While MultiPar and par2cmdline can treat sub-directory and UTF-8 filename,
+QuickPar and other PAR2 clients cannot treat them.
+Almost all PAR2 clients don't support UTF-16 filename and comment.
+Be careful to use those special features.
+
+[ System requirement ]
+
+ MultiPar requires a PC with Windows Vista or later (Windows 7, 8, 10).
+

+
+[ Failure, Fault or Mistake ]
+
+ Use this application at your own risk, because I might miss something.
+If you find something odd behavior, report the incident to me.
+Some examples like output-log, screen-shot, file name, file size, your PC spec,
+and detailes (when / where / what / how) are helpful to solve problems.
+Please contain them as possible as you can.
+Then, I will fix it at next version.
+
+[ Security risk ]
+
+ You should treat PAR files in a same security level as their source files. 
+When you have secret data on some files and encrypt them, 
+you must create PAR files from their encrypted files. 
+If you create PAR files from non-encrypted files,
+others may know how is the original secret data.
+Even when there is no enough redundancy to recover it completely,
+their PAR files may reveal useful information for a spy.
+
+ Parchive doesn't prevent an intended modification. 
+Recovering with unknown PAR files is same as copying unknown files on your PC. 
+The reliability of recovered files depends on their PAR files. 
+PAR clients may modify original valid files into something invalid files, 
+when PAR files were modified by a malicious cracker. 
+For example, if someone created PAR files from his modified source files, 
+the PAR files will damage your complete source files.
+
+[ PAR 3.0 is not finished yet ]
+
+ PAR 3.0 in MultiPar is implemented only for personal testing purpose.
+Because I modify its algorithm and format sometimes while writing the proposal,
+current samples won't be compatible with future PAR 3.0 specifications.
+Don't send current PAR3 files to others, who may not have the same version.
+
+ Currently sample PAR3 isn't available, while the specification is being updated.

+
+[ How to install or uninstall with installer package ]
+
+ Double click setup file ( MultiPar131_setup.exe or something like this name ),
+and follow the installer dialog.
+At version up, if you want to use previous setting, overwrite install is possible.
+Before overwrite install, you should un-check "Integrate MultiPar into Shell".
+You may need to re-start OS after overwrite install or uninstall rarely.
+To install under "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" directory,
+you must start the installer with administrative privileges by selecting
+"Run as administrator" on right-click menu.
+
+ You can uninstall through the Windows OS's Control Panel,
+or double click unins000.exe in a folder which MultiPar was installed.
+Because uninstaller does not delete setting files or newly put files,
+you may delete them by yourself.
+
+ When you have used installer package, you should not move install folder.
+Or else, you will fail to uninstall later.
+
+[ Installation for multiple users by installer package ]
+
+ If multiple users may log-on a PC, the administrator can install MultiPar for everyone.
+By installing with administrative privileges, installer made Start Menu icon,
+Desktop icon, and File association will be available for all users.
+When he installed under "Program Files" directory, each user keeps individual setting.
+When he installed in another folder, all users share same setting.
+In either case, user made icons and association are available for the user only.
+
+
+[ How to install with archive version ]
+
+ Unpack compressed file ( MultiPar131.zip or something like this name ) in a folder.
+MultiPar.exe is the interface of MultiPar.
+
+ You can create short-cut icon or send-to link at Option window later.
+If you associate PAR file extensions ".par" or ".par2" with MultiPar,
+de-associate them from other application like QuickPar at first.
+
+[ How to un-install with archive version ]
+
+ If you associate PAR file with MultiPar, de-associate them from this.
+Delete all files in the install folder, in which you extract files.
+If you installed MultiPar under "Program Files" directory,
+setting data was saved in MultiPar folder under "Application Data" directory,
+so you need to delete the folder.
+
+ When you integrated MultiPar into shell at Option window,
+you must clear the check before un-install.
+If you have deleted MultiPar.exe already, you can un-install the DLL manually.
+Open "Command Prompt" and change directory to MultiPar's folder,
+then type "RegSvr32.exe /u MultiParShlExt64.dll" to remove shell extension.
+You cannot delete "MultiParShlExt64.dll", while it is used by OS or Explorer.
+You may log-off and log-on again to OS before deleting the file. 
+
+[ How to change installed folder of archive version ]
+
+ Move files in the install folder.
+If you associated PAR file with MultiPar, de-associate once, and associate again.
+If you want to use same setting at another PC, copy the setting file "MultiPar.ini".
+If you move MultiPar into "Program Files" directory,
+setting data is saved in MultiPar folder under "Application Data" directory,
+so you need to move "MultiPar.ini" into the folder, too.

+ MultiPar consists of PAR clients and GUI to control them.
+They are written by Yutaka Sawada.
+Though console applications are open source (PAR clients are GPL),
+GUI application is closed source.

+
+[ Support ]
+
+ I use GitHub issue's page as a web-forum for MultiPar users.
+(URL: "https://github.com/Yutaka-Sawada/MultiPar/issues")
+
+ My name is Yutaka Sawada.
+E-mail address is "tenfon (at mark) outlook.jp".
+Or "multipar (at mark) outlook.jp" for PayPal usage and
+"tenfon (at mark) users.sourceforge.net" for SourceForge users.
+Because they use a same mail-box, don't send duplicate mails.
+Though e-mail address had been "ten_fon (at mark) mail.goo.ne.jp" ago,
+the mail service ended at March 2014, so don't send to there.
+The (at mark) is format to avoid junk mails, and replace it with "@".
+
+ I get many spam mails from oversea.
+If an e-mail is detected as junk mail or suspicious,
+mail server may delete it automatically, and I won't see it.

+
+[ Link ]
+
+ I use Vector 's author page to introduce MultiPar.
+(URL: "https://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA021385/")
+Because there is another official download page,
+(URL: "https://www.vector.co.jp/soft/dl/winnt/util/se460801.html")
+using direct link to files on the page isn't preferable.
+When you write a link on somewhere, please don't include filename.
