Important Notes:
For Installation instructions, please see install.txt

1. 	IMPORTANT: Password-protect the /msql_keeper directory.  You 
	don't want people messing around with your database.

2. 	The first time you open the index.shtml page, you'll see the 
	following message:
		
	Current Database:<anavailable>
	Could Not Connect to Database 
        Reason:No Database Selected

	This is because no database is selected (daah).  
	To select a database, 
	click on the "Change Database" link, which
	will bring you to the Select Database page.  
	A drop box will list all available mSQL databases on your server.  
	Select one, click on the "Update System" button and you're on your way.

3.	If you want to play it safe: 
	a. Open file mk_config.cgi with a text editor.
	b. Find $excluded_tables variable.
	c. Set the value of the variable to the names of the 
	   tables you want mSQL Keeper to ignore SURROUNDED by commas.
	
	For example, to have mSQL Keeper ignore tables Product and Customer 
	then the line in the mk_config.dat file should read:
	$excluded_tables = ",Product,Customer,";
