***********************************************************************
B.) Last Minute Info On Screen Resolutions
***********************************************************************

This version of 'Controlling Your Business 98' has been designed with
dynamic rescaling routines. Therefore if you would like to view CYB
"full screen" you can go to the Variables Screen and select the
appropriate setting.

You have the choice of running CYB in an optimized 640x480 format
for peak performance on slower machines and laptop computers. To do
this simply turn off the rescaling option on the Variables Screen.


***********************************************************************
1.) Description
***********************************************************************

This  is the first installment of the Data Management Systems Series
(DMS). "Controlling Your Business 98" (CYB) is primarily intended for
the home based business, however, it is suitable for any type of small
business. It is designed to control ALL aspects of business Customers,
Product, Orders, Services, Inventory, Invoicing etc. (see Program
Modules).

While being extremely easy to use it utilizes the kind of professional
power that you would expect from a completely configurable software
package. Most business owners do not have the time to program suitable
data base programs to take care of their affairs. We have taken
countless hours, days, weeks, months..... and did the programming for
you. Now you can concentrate on your real motivation.... Making More
Money! Time is money, and money is time!

This is a perfect alternative to high priced Television advertised
business software that requires lengthy setups and/or development on
your part. CYB is absolutely "LOAD & GO!"

9.) What's New
***********************************************************************
New in version 3.60: November 11, 1998

* Now equiped with a unique unlock code system. When you purchase CYB 
  You can recieve your personal unlock code to immediately unlock 
  your investment for full use. Must have at least v3.60.
  The software to create such codes is now available thru PIE Products
  for developers, shareware authors or anyone that wants to protect
  their hard work from piracy. Call for pricing.
* User defined Color Schemes. Now you can set up your own color schemes. 
  Background colors, label colors, field colors, etc.

New in version 3.54:

* Fixed problem in Profit Loss and Order sections regarding mathematical
calculations.
* Fixed Returns section to warn you if an order has not been paid in full 
and if you are paying a return that is more than the customer actually 
paid you.
* Made printable material (Reports) compatible with A4 paper size.
* CYB_TAB.MDB was updated, therefore if you have the eval version
  below v3.52 than you must delete the CYB_TAB.MDB before you install
  the full version. The full version will not overwrite the data
  tables but the evaluation version will overwrite. So if you install
  the new eval version don't worry about the table (only if installing
  the Registered Version when you have installed a version less than
  3.52 do you have to delete it) If you are upgrading an existing
  Registered version, PIE will update your data table free of charge.

New In version 3.5:

* Brand new setup program that saves on resources and allows 16 and
  32 bit installs.
* Minor "quirks" fixed
* Updated ReadMe and License Agreements
* CYB now supports an Uninstall feature in both 16 and 32 bit versions

New In Version 3.51:

* AutoRun Menu feature was added for Windows 95 (CD Version).
* Tooltips on/off function fixed.
* A few other minor changes.
* CYB_TAB.MDB was updated, therefore if you have the eval version
  below v3.51 than you must delete the CYB_TAB.MDB before you install
  the full version. The full version will not overwrite the data
  tables but the evaluation version will overwrite. So if you install
  the new eval version don't worry about the table (only if installing
  the Registered Version when you have installed a version less than
  3.51 do you have to delete it) If you are upgrading an existing
  Registered version, PIE will update your data table free of charge.
