==== Product Information ====

Product:	BaseLinePro(R) for Windows 95
Version:	1.2.0
Status:		A fully functional evaluation program
Distribution:	The evaluation version of BaseLinePro is freely distributable
Release Date:	June 20, 1998

Description:	BaseLinePro is a Baseball Lineup Program that helps coaches 
		quickly produce Batting & Fielding Lineups.  BaseLinePro is 
		particularly useful for coaches with large Team Rosters, or 
		recreational leagues with minimum infield-play rules for 
		each player.  BaseLinePro can be configured for any baseball,
		softball,  or T-ball league.  Coaches enter their Roster and
		Game Setup once at the start of the season,  then create
		Batting and Fielding Lineups using the mouse.  Players that
		are marked as Absent are automatically moved to the bottom of 
		the lineups.  A unique feature of BaseLinePro is the display 
		and editting of a full fielding lineup, (up to 16 players & 9 
		innings). This allows for other features such as highlighting
		of players in all innings to easily view/edit their positions.

==== Evaluation License ====

The evaluation version of BaseLinePro gives you access to all the features 
needed to create batting and fielding lineups for up to 10 baseball games.

The program will remind you of the # of evaluation games that remain after 
using 5 games.  During the evaluation period several screens are shown that
explain the features of BaseLinePro,  give the benefits of registering
the program,  and direct you to an Internet site to order the program.

After your 10 evaluation games are up, you should either order the program 
or remove it from your computer.


==== Installation ====
 
Before Proceeding with the Installation:

Close all applications before installing BaseLinePro.  If you currently have
BaseLinePro on your computer un-install it by following the instructions 
given in the 'Un-install' section below.  

***************************** IMPORTANT ************************************

If you are installing BaseLinePro on your computer for the first time, the
Microsoft Setup Wizard may find that certain .DLL and .OCX files in the 
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder,  needed to run Visual Basic 5 applications,  either 
do not exist,  or need updating to more recent versions.  

Unfortunately, the Setup Wizard message suggests that more ominous changes
will be made to your system.  This is not the case,  so respond YES to the 
Setup Wizard query regarding updating of system files,  then YES to the 
query to restart Windows 95.  After Windows 95 has restarted,  repeat the 
install process.  This time BaseLinePro should successfully install without 
needing to update any files.

*****************************************************************************  

Installation Procedure:

If you downloaded BaseLinePro via the Internet as a ZIP file 
(for example, BASEV120.ZIP), then install it as follows:

Use Windows Explorer to locate the folder where you placed the downloaded 
ZIP file,  then use WINZIP from Windows 95 or PKUNZIP from DOS to unzip the
setup files in the current folder.  When the unzipping is completed, locate 
the file SETUP.EXE and double-click on it to start the install process.
