README.TXT file for Zippidy Do Da v1.43a
---------------------------------------

This version fixes the install bug in 1.43.

Zippidy Do Da requires Windows 3.1.  If it is installed on a
Windows 3.0 system, it will not run.  On versions of Windows
prior to 3.11 it also requires SHARE.EXE to be loaded BEFORE
starting Windows. Note, however, if you are using Windows 3.11,
Windows for Workgroups or Windows 95 you do not need SHARE.EXE.

This version adds support for Daylight Savings Time.

Thank you for supporting shareware and choosing our product.
If you haven't purchased your copy of Zippidy Do Da, please do
it now while you are thinking about it.

If you are a member of CompuServe you can use the Shareware
Registration facility to pay for Zippidy Do Da.  Just
'GO SWREG', then when asked for the SWREG number enter #5625.

Zippidy Do Da is a shareware program for Microsoft Windows 3.1
or greater. It is NOT FREE.  You are granted a 30 day trial
period to try Zippidy Do Da, to see if it fits your needs. If
you continue to use it beyond the 30 day trial period you MUST
license your copy from SMI Corporation.  If you purchased
diskette(s) from a shareware vendor that contained Zippidy Do
Da, you have only paid a disk duplication fee. You must still
purchase Zippidy Do Da from SMI Corporation.

Zippidy Do Da is a utility program that allows you to look up
cities by zip code, area code, state, or city name.  We feel
we have included much useful information in this release.
However, as we continue to upgrade the program, we would be
glad to hear suggestions from you about new features you would
like to see included in a future release. Thank you for using
Zippidy Do Da.

The first time you run Zippidy Do Da, it will need to build
its indexes. On an 80486 33MHz PC it will take less than 5
minutes. You will need at least 4.5Mb available to build the
indexes. If for some reason (power failure, etc.) the index
build fails before it is completed you can try it again after
you close other applications that may be running or free up
some disk space.

If you still have problems then contact SMI with the error
messages you received and we will try to resolve the problem.

Thanks for choosing Zippidy Do Da by SMI Corporation.

SMI Corporation is always glad to hear from our users. If you
find bugs or have comments about features you would like to
see in future versions, please call or write us.  We'll be
glad to hear from you!

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

If you received Zippidy Do Da as a ZIP file, you should find a
.ZIP file called ZD143.ZIP (or ZIPDD.ZIP if you obtained the
program from CompuServe). It will contain the files listed in
the Packing List section of VENDINFO.DIZ.

You should unzip the file to a directory of your hard disk and
then run the install program. For example, if you unzip to a
directory called C:\INST then you would execute SETUP.EXE from
the C:\INST directory. If you use File Manager then double
click the file SETUP.EXE in the C:\INST directory. If you use
Program Manager then select FILE/RUN... and enter 
C:\INST\SETUP.EXE and click OK. Then just follow the screen

the files are missing you do not have a complete package and
it will not install or run.
