>> UPGRADING PREVIOUS VERSIONS <<

USERS WHO HAVE A PREVIOUS VERSION OF THIS PROGRAM (FORMLY
KNOWN AS "THE CONTACT MANAGER") SHOULD READ "UPGRADE.TXT" 
BEFORE INSTALLING THIS NEW VERSION.


>> DISCLAIMER <<

Users of MANAGE YOUR CONTACTS must accept this disclaimer of warranty:

"MANAGE YOUR CONTACTS IS SUPPLIED AS IS.  THE AUTHOR DISCLAIMS ALL
WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND OF FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.  THE
AUTHOR ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES, DIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL,
WHICH MAY RESULT FROM THE USE OF MANAGE YOUR CONTACTS."


>> INSTALLATION <<

To install this program, first copy (or unzip if obtained in a zip archive from a BBS or online service) all the files into one common subdirectory on your hard disk.  Then choose "FILE", then "RUN" from the Windows program manager.  Then type in the path where
the installation files reside followed by the word "SETUP" (or use the browse feature to select SETUP.EXE from the list of files you copied/unzipped above).

EXAMPLE:  C:\INSTALL\SETUP

NOTE:  This program, as with all of the many programs written in
Visual Basic version 3.0, requires the file VBRUN300.DLL to be 
located in your Windows\System subdirectory.  Chances are good 
that it is already there.  It is common practice not to distribute 
VBRUN300.DLL with an application because it is large and would 
reduce download time each time you obtain a Visual Basic program.  
Additionally it would take up much more space on CD-ROMs, BBS's, 
etc if it were in every application that requires it.  If you try 
the above installation procedure and you get a message that 
VBRUN300.DLL was not found, you should be able to easily locate 
it on a BBS, CD-ROM, or other common places where Windows 
shareware is found.  It's likely to be in the same general area 
where you obtained this program.  Thank you for your cooperation.

SEE "HISTORY.TXT" FOR A LIST OF NEW FEATURES.


>> WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS - TECHNICAL SUPPORT <<

When needed, I do provide technical support.  I also welcome 
any questions, comments or suggestions.  Hopefully you'll get 
as far as the installation, in which case you can read how to
contact me from the section "Custom Programming/Tech. Support" 
in the "Help" section.

I really want you to be able to use this program in the best way 
that will benefit you.  I hope you'll find it as useful as many 
others have and eventually register it.  If you need help and can 
not locate the online information, I am providing it below.  Note 
that e-mail contact is preferred because it is quick, accurate, 
and relatively inexpensive for us both.  It also saves us from 
playing "phone tag".

Naturally registered users will always be given priority, though
I do want to keep potential registrants happy too.
