Microsoft Windows Registration File Loader adds entries to the registration database (REG.DAT) by reading a description of the entries from a text file and merging the information into the binary-format database. You can distribute REGLOAD.EXE with SHELL.DLL and the text file that describes your database entries if your application will be installed on Windows 3.0. If your application will be installed only on Windows 3.1, you need not ship REGLOAD.EXE, because the same functionality is built into Microsoft Windows Registration Editor (REGEDIT.EXE), which is distributed with the retail version of Windows 3.1.
