WELCOME TO FUND MANAGER FOR WINDOWS 95/98/NT

FUND MANAGER HOME PAGE
***********************************************************************

Fund Manager has a home page on the World Wide Web:

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
***********************************************************************

Run the program "setup.exe". 

Example: a:\setup.exe


***********************************************************************
UPGRADE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
***********************************************************************

Select "Start" and then "Run..." from the desktop.
Run the program "setup.exe". 

Example: a:\setup.exe

NEW FILE FORMAT NOTICE:  Version 4.0 uses a new file format from
previous versions.  Once you save your data files with version 4.0,
previous versions will not be able to directly read the new file
format.

EASY UPGRADE INSTALLATION: If you already have a previous version of
Fund Manager on your computer you can install this newer version
directly over your old version.  During installation specify the
directory where your current version is located (eg. c:\finance).  You
can continue to use your existing data files.  Your old version of Fund
Manager will be overwritten.  New samples will be installed in the
samples sub-directory.

ADVANCED UPGRADE INSTALLATION:  If you want to try this new version
before deciding to upgrade, install this version to a different
directory (eg. c:\Program Files\Fund Manager 2) and operate on a copy of
your investment files. Version 4.0 uses a new file format from all
previous versions.  Once you save your data files with version 4.0,
previous versions will not be able to directly read the new file format.
If you only want to experiment with version 4.0, you should operate on a
copy of your data files. (Remember that portfolios created with older
versions of Fund Manager contain the full path of the investments they
contain, so after making a copy of your data files, you should not use
those older portfolios, as they will be pointing to your original data
files.)

See the bottom of this file for a listing of the improvements in this
version.


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