            *** LATE-BREAKING NEWS ***

 ***** NEW FEATURES *****

 This version 7.0L of Command Post supports IF-THEN statements as well
 as GOTO statements.  Command Post now supports a real batch language.

 ALSO  Maybe you can save the cost of a phone call.....
 Once Command Post is installed, the CP_QUEST.CRD cardfile in the
 CMDPOST directory has a lot of good questions and answers.  Your
 question *might* be answered in the cardfile.

 
 ***********************************************************************
 * HOT feature in this version.  A right mouse button double click     *
 * on a file name will select/deselect ->ALL<- files with the same     *
 * extension.  A bunch of other new features were also added           *
 ***********************************************************************

 Please note the online HELP cardfile, CP_HELP.CRD accessible
 from the Command Post menu.  There is a SPECIAL SECTION in the front
 of this cardfile that discusses functions NOT IN THE MANUAL.

 Both CMDPOST.CPM and CMDUSER.CPM have been changed from previous
 versions.  If there is a CMDUSER.CPM already on your disk, the install
 program will not update it.

 We've included a manual on disk, called CMDPOST.TXT, containing
 all the text in the real manual, but without the illustrations.
 There are some blank spaces in the text where the pictures go, so
 use your imagination.  


                        LEGAL MATTERS

 Of course the usual disclaimers still apply.  We are not
 responsible for anything at all.  Nothing.  Even if we are
 held responsible, the limit of our liability is the
 licensing fees you paid.  The full text of our license
 agreement is found near the bottom of this file.

               HOW TO INSTALL COMMAND POST 7.0

 Command Post is installed automatically, via our SETUP.EXE
 program, as detailed below:


   1) Close down all extraneous Windows applications.

   2) Double-Click on the SETUP.EXE program

   3) When the setup program asks for a directory, specify initial directory,
      or accept the given default (C:\WINDOWS\CMDPOST).


 NOTE:	If you are updating from a previous version, and made any of the
	Command Post files READ-ONLY, remove the read-only attribute from
	the files before running setup.
	(Or else the setup process will hang)

                    UN-INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS

 If, for some reason you wish to un-install Command Post from your
 system, here is a checklist for doing so.

 1) Examine the SYSTEM.INI file.  If you manually installed Command Post
    as your primary shell (See Docs), you must edit the SYSTEM.INI file.
       Change
           shell=cmdpost.exe
       to
           shell=progman.exe

 2) Examine the WIN.INI file.  If Command Post starts automatically...
       Change
           run=cmdpost.exe
       to
           run=
   If there is other stuff on the run= line, you probably want to
   leave it there.  Just delete the cmdpost.exe from the run= line.

 3) Delete the entire [CmdPost] and [Browser] (if it exists) sections
    from the WIN.INI file.  Actually you may leave them there, as
    it really does not matter.

 4) Delete the following files from the directory that Command Post was
    installed into.
        cmdpost.exe
        cp_dll.dll
        cp_tree.exe
	browser.exe
        wininfo.exe
        cp_blnk.exe
        cp_help.crd
        cp_quest.crd
        cp_info.exe
        cp_virt.bat
        cmdpost.cpm
	taskmanr.exe   NOT TASKMANG.EXE OR TASKMAN.EXE !!!
        cmduser.cpm  (you may want to keep a copy around, esp. if you
                      have put some work into this file.)


5) If a file TASKMANG.EXE (NOT TASKMANR.EXE) exists, rename it to
   TASKMAN.EXE file.  (This is probably in the Windows directory.)
   This is only necessary if you replaced the Windows TASKMAN.EXE
   with the Command Post version of it.

6) That should do it.

		    ON-LINE SUPPORT

 Command Post is has on-line support on a number of computer systems.

 First of all, the home of Command Post is on Compuserve, in the
 WINAPA forum, in the Wilson WindowWare section (#15 currently).  Also
 the latest and greatest downloads are available from DL15 of the
 WINAPA forum.	The Wilson WindowWare section of the WINAPA forum
 is checked on a daily basis, and all questions will be responded to.

 The FidoNet Windows echomail conference is also monitored for Windows
 questions in general.	Questions about Windows and Command Post will
 be answered in the echo.

 If your budget is not able to afford Compuserve, we strongly suggest
 that you contact your local BBS sysops and encourage them to carry
 the Windows echomail conferences.

                     CHANGES TO THE MANUAL


 In the Window 3.0 appendix we tell you how to replace
 Windows 3.0's Task Manager with Command Post.  Microsoft
 has since renamed Task Manager to "Task List".  The Command
 Post version of the may be found in the \CP-NOTES.TMP directory
 with the file name TASKMANR.EXE (If you used our install program).
 If you used the manual install, you can find it in the temp
 directory you used.
