UPGRADING TO FORKEEPS VERSION 2.7
...........................................................

Follow the appropriate instructions below, depending on what version of
ForKeeps that you have previously been running:

TO UPGRADE FROM V2.0 - v2.62 TO V.2.7
--------------------------------------------

    a.    Unzip the downloaded file (FK16TL.ZIP for 16-bit version and FK32TL.ZIP 
	  for 32-bit version) into the ForKeeps program directory. No special
	  considerations are necessary if you are switching from 16-bit to 
	  32-bit or vice versa. Both versions can reside in the same program
	  directory and will use the same data files. 

	  NOTE: Don't mix a registered 16-bit version with an unregistered 32-bit 
	  version or vice versa: the unregistered version will not work with the 
	  existing database if the database is older than 30-days.

	  The following files should appear after decompression:

	  16-bit version

          FKFIL32.DLL         File specifications
          TMAN32.DLL          Thread manager
          PBROWS32.DLL        Browse engine

	  FKDESC.TXT	      General description of ForKeeps

    b.    As new windows may have been added and the default size of other windows may
          have been changed, ForKeeps will reset all window sizes and positions to default
	  during the first start up. 

    c.    A new licence verification scheme is introduced with version 2.6. The old
	  licence verification file (L16V20.DLL or L32V20.DLL) is no longer needed.
	  It has been replaced by a new bit of registering information - a program
	  type number. If you are upgrading a registered copy you will have to enter
	  the number sent to you by E-mail in the field Program type number in 
	  Preferences. If entered correctly the field Program type will then display
	  "16-bit version", "32-bit version" or "Dual 16/32-bit version".

    d.    You're done! If you are curious as to what is new in v2.7 - read 
          WhatsNew.Txt.!
