FoneRates Lite - Version 1.0.0

I.     Installation and Setup Instructions

1.  After extracting the files to the directory you want to keep them in,
    edit your PATH environment variable to include that directory
    (to ensure the help file can be found).
2.  Make sure MS Access 2.0 (or later) and MS Graph 5.0 are correctly
    installed on your machine.  The comparison report will omit the graphical
    portion if Graph is not installed.
3.  Run MS Access.  If your copy of Access has logon enabled,  log on as
    either "Admin" or "User".  If neither of these accounts are
    available, create an account "User" in the current Users group with the
    PersonalID "AnyUser", and log off and back on again, this time as "User".
4.  Open the file fonrates.mdb in the directory you chose to install it in.
5.  Click "I Agree" to begin using FoneRates Lite

II.    System Requirements

1.  MS Access 2.0
2.  6MB RAM (more recommended)
3.  1MB free HD space
4.  MS Graph 5.0 (for graphical output)
5.  Windows 3.1 or later (WFW 3.11, Windows 95, Windows NT)

III.   Overview

   FoneRates Lite provides a quick and painless way to find the lowest long
distance rates for your calling pattern.  Based on a rates database which
currently contains over 100 plans from AT&T, Sprint, MCI, and long distance
resellers, FoneRates prompts you for your current monthly long distance usage
and then provides you with a list of up to ten plans which will lower your
long distance costs.  Once the comparison is complete, you can print the
report, view and/or print a list of contact numbers for the plans in the
report, and view and/or print an information request form to send to a
carrier.

IV.    Non-Access Versions

    FoneRates Lite is available in stand-alone form for users who do not own
a copy of MS Access.  To order a non-Access copy of FoneRates Lite, print the
