+======================================================================
+
+This zip file contains the Microsoft Windows executables for The Sleuth
+Kit.  The full source code (including Visual Studio Solution files) and 
+documentation can be downloaded from:
+
+http://www.sleuthkit.org

+
+
+CURRENT LIMITATIONS
+
+The tools do not currently support globbing, which means that you 
+cannot use 'fls img.*' on a split image.  Windows does not automatically
+ expand the '*' to all file names. 
+
+These programs can be run on a live system, if you use the 
+\\.\PhysicalDrive0 syntax.  Note though, that you may get errors or the
+file system type may not be detected because the data being read is out 
+of sync with cached versions of the data.  
+
+Unicode characters are not always properly displayed in the command
+shell.
+
+The AFF image formats are not supported.
