DESCRIPTION

     PSA Cards is an easy to use address program.  It looks
     like a card file and it works like a card file.  Just
     click on a divider tab or card to open or close it.
     
     PSA Cards is also an OLE 2.0 container application.
     This means that you can link or imbed objects
     (pictures, maps, documents, sound and video clips)
     created in other programs in your PSA Cards entries.

********************** INSTALLATION **********************

   INSTALLING FROM A FLOPPY DISK

     Run setup.exe from the Program Manager.

   INSTALLING FROM A DOWNLOADED PSA Cards ZIP FILE

     Run psacr33.exe from the Program Manager.
     

INSTALL.EXE -- MORE DETAILED INFORMATION

     The installation program will copy the PSA Cards files
     to whatever directory you choose.  The installation
     directory can be the same as directory for the
     downloaded PSA Cards file.
     
     After copying the Cards files to the installation
     directory, the install program will create a program
     group and program items in the Program Manager.  There
     will be program items for PSA Cards, Cards Help, and 
     this readme.txt file.
     
     The OLE 2.0 dynamic libraries are supplied by Microsoft
     for installation in systems running 16 bit versions of
     Windows.  That is, Windows 3.1 and Windows 3.11
     (Windows for Workgroups).  If you are running a 32 bit 
     version of Windows, you should download or order the 
     32 bit version of PSA Cards.
     
     If MICROSOFT OFFICE is running, it will probably prevent
     the installation of the OLE files.  If there is a 
     problem with copying the OLE files, shut down MS Office
     and try the installation again.

     If this doesn't fix the problem, try shutting down and
     restarting Windows.  Then restart the installation.  If
     you already have the OLE 2.0 libraries, the install
     program will compare library versions and will not
     overwrite a newer library version with an older one.
     The OLE 2.0 files are:
     
          COMPOBJ.DLL
          MFCOLEUI.DLL
          OLE2.DLL
          OLE2.REG
          OLE2CONV.DLL
          OLE2DISP.DLL
          OLE2NLS.DLL
          OLEPROX.DLL
          STDOLE.TLB
          STORAGE.DLL
          TYPELIB.DLL
     
     The OLE 2.0 libraries must be registered with the
     REGEDIT.EXE program.  REGEDIT.EXE is part of Windows.
     REGEDIT.EXE is run automatically by the installation
     program.
                  

LOADING A DATA FILE ON STARTUP
     
     The installation program sets up PSA Cards to automatically 
     open the file "sample.car" each time you double click on
     the PSA Cards icon.  If you want to open a different file
     on program startup, use the Program manager "Properties" 
     command to change the Command Line entry.  The new data 
     file name replaces "sample.car" after the program name 
     (cards.exe).  Be sure to leave a blank between the program 
     name and the file name.
