------------ Evaluation ----------------------

You are free to evaluate this fully functional software
under actual working conditions for 21 days. After 21
days, you must license the software if you wish to
continure using it.  Although ResSched Multi-User will
continue to work after 21 days,  access wil be
increasingly delayed by one second for each day since
the evaluation period expired.    



------------  Installation -------------------

You can install ResSched Multi-User's executable files
(.exe, .dll ) and help file on a central server or on
each individual user's workstation.  Data files (.tps),
however, must all be centrally located.  A System
Administrator must enter the location of the data files
in System Preferences. We recommend installing
executable files on individual workstations because it
provides faster performance and reduces demand on your
network, but this approach does requires more effort to
administer upgrades and add new users. 

If you choose to install the executable files and help
file in different directories from the data files you
must change the Working Directory (Windows 3.1 or NT)
or Start In property (Windows 95) of the ResSched Multi-
User Program Item to reflect the location of the data
files.

The file SYSLIC3.TPS must be placed in the same directory
as your data files.

Use 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA' as the user name and '111111111'
as the password when you first use ResSched. Be sure at
least one other System Adminsitrator user id has been
set up before deleting the 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA' id.    

--------Converting Older Versions --------------------- 

If you have been using a version of ResSched earlier
than 3.0a,  you must run CONVOLD.EXE to convert your data
before using ResSched Multi-User for the first time. 


We strongly recommend you follow this order:

1) create a new directory for this version of ResSched
on a workstation;

2) install this version of ResSched into the new
directory;

3) place a COPY of your existing data files (*.TPS)
into the new directory and make a separate secure
copy of your existing data files 

4) run CONVOLD.EXE and respond to its queries. CONVOLD
   converts your data files to RESDATA.TPS and modifies
   SYSLIC3.TPS to reflect your current license status. 

5) run the new version of ResSched and confirm that
your data has been converted correctly.

7) copy the new files RESDATA.TPS and SYSLIC3.TPS into the
  your shared ResSched data directory.

8) install the new ResSched on each workstation or on
your file server

9) for each installation, set the Working Directory
of the ResSched Program Item (in Windows95 terminology,
Start In folder of the ResSched Shortcut) to the shared
ResSched data directory

10) remove the old version of ResSched.


Please note that the new version of ResSched can not
access the data of the old version and vice versa. If
you follow these steps, once the new data files have
been put in the shared data directory, users will not
be able to use ResSched until they have the new version
installed.    
  

To convert an older (pre 3.0a) single user version to
the new multi-user version.  Follow the same steps,
except there won't already be a shared data directory.

Single user versions from 3.0a on do not need data
conversion.


------------- SHARE.EXE or VSHARE.386 -----------------

Windows 3.1 users must have either SHARE as a command in
their AUTOEXEC.BAT file before the "win" command or the 
VSHARE.386 device driver loaded in their SYSTEM.INI file
(in your C:\windows directory).  Many users will have 
one or the other already in their system set up.
  
If you get a "File Creation" or sharing violation errors
message on opening ResSched,  check to see one or the
other is present.  If both are missing, consult your
DOS or Windows documentation for specific instructions
on changing your autoexec.bat or system.ini file. The 
File Creation error also occurs if you do not have 
SYSLIC3.TPS in your shared data directory.
