Introduction to Rosary v5.0 for Windows
---------------------------------------
Have you ever had difficulty remembering which prayers and meditations to 
say when praying the Rosary?  Never more!  With Rosary v5.0 for Windows 
at your side to guide you, praying and remembering the Rosary has never 
been easier!  Rosary v5.0 for Windows is a complete set of prayers and 
mysteries for the Rosary.  Using a graphical interface, the program guides 
you through each of the 5 decades of the Rosary, and all prayers and meditations
in between.  It keeps track of which of the three sets of mysteries need 
to be said by the system date, but the program also allows you to change 
the current mystery on the fly.


Setting up the program 
----------------------
1. Create a subdirectory for the program (e.g., "C:\ROSARY").

2. Unzip the file WROSARY.ZIP into this directory.  The archive contains the
following files:

	WROSARY.EXE   	the main program
	WROSARY.HLP  	the Windows help file
	ME1.BMP  	a picture of myself (required for the "About" function)
	README.TXT  	this file
	VBRUN300.DLL  	Visual Basic runtime module (Note: if you have already 
		       	installed Visual Basic 3.0 or greater on your system,
			or if you or one of your programs have already installed 
			VBRUN300.DLL, you may delete this file)

3. Use Windows to create a new program item.
   a. Open the Group Window where you wish to put Rosary.
   b. In the Program Manager, select File/New.  Click on the Program Item
      radio button.
      i.    In the Description field, type "Rosary"
      ii.   In the Command Line field, type in the location of
            WROSARY.EXE which you created in step 1, above (e.g.,
            "C:\ROSARY\WROSARY.EXE")
      iii.  In the Working Directory field, type in the directory name you
            created in step 1 (e.g., "C:\ROSARY").
      iv.   Click the Change Icon button and select the default icon.
      

About Rosary
------------
I started this version of Rosary for Windows on 26 May 1997 due to the 
interest in my earlier program, Rosary v4.6 for DOS.  As with the DOS version, 
this version is FREEWARE.  I only ask that you copy the program and share it 
with your friends.  May it bless you in your life as it has done me.  
Praise be God's Holy Name!

Why Freeware?
-------------
Why have I offered this program as freeware (as opposed to shareware)?  
I do it for several reasons:

> First of all, I have a major debt to repay to the world computing community.  
For years now I have downloaded tons of shareware programs from bulletin boards 
and the Internet, then used some of the programs over and over again without 
paying the required registration fees. Offering freeware back to the community 
is my small way of saying "thanks" to the shareware professionals who have 
helped me in my computing career.

> Second, the inspiration for this program was a gift from God--it doesn't 
seem right to charge others for it.

> Third, by making the program *freeware*, I hope to increase its use and 
devotion to the most holy Mother throughout the world.

Please distribute this program as widely as possible!
