:::: FASTW32.EXE ::::

This is the Win32 console version of the Free Pascal port of Fast Index.
The Free Pascal Win32 bug I mentioned in fast386.txt (q.v.) has already
been fixed, so here it is. It should work on Windows 95, 98, NT and 2000
(only tested on 95).

This is a simple recompile of the 3.0a source, which in turn is a straight
port of the OS/2 Virtual Pascal version of Fast Index 3.0, with only the
very minimal changes required for Free Pascal (aka "FPC"). It offers the
same performance advantages as fastos2.exe and fast386.exe. The biggest
code change is in the opening banner. :-)

This archive does NOT replace fastix30.zip or fast386.zip. If you want
either the 16-bit MSDOS version or the 32-bit OS/2 version, you must get
fastix30.zip; if you want the 32-bit DOS version, you need fast386.zip.
