README.TXT file for Zippidy Do Da v1.41

---------------------------------------

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!
