This is a short ReadMe for the program C2XH.

Purpose of the program:
Editing the unpacked backup files of the digital central
units m60213, m60214 and m60215, called "CS2",

This program is not endorsed or supported by the
manufacturers of the "CS2"/"CS3". This program is
NOT FREE and it is NOT ALLOWED TO DISTRIBUTE IT,
but you can use it. You will use this program totally
at your own risk. Current stage of the project is: ALPHA.
