			    "MANAGE YOUR CONTACTS"

TEXT FILES DISTRIBUTED WITH THIS ARCHIVE:
1) README.TXT - Brief installation notes and information
for users who want a quick overview of the program (this
file).
2) VENDOR.DOC - Text file outlining distribution policy 
and permissions for shareware vendors.
3) UPGRADE.TXT - Important instructions for those of you who are

This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware 
Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle 
works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem 
with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to 
help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with 
an ASP member, but does not provide technical support for members' 
products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, 
Muskegon, MI 49442-9427 USA, FAX 616-788-2765 or send a CompuServe 
message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.


>> UPGRADING PREVIOUS VERSIONS <<

USERS WHO HAVE A PREVIOUS VERSION OF THIS PROGRAM (FORMLY
KNOWN AS "THE CONTACT MANAGER") SHOULD READ "UPGRADE.TXT" 
BEFORE INSTALLING THIS NEW VERSION.


>> DISCLAIMER <<

Users of MANAGE YOUR CONTACTS must accept this disclaimer of warranty:

"MANAGE YOUR CONTACTS IS SUPPLIED AS IS.  THE AUTHOR DISCLAIMS ALL
WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND OF FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.  THE
AUTHOR ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES, DIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL,
WHICH MAY RESULT FROM THE USE OF MANAGE YOUR CONTACTS."


>> INSTALLATION <<

1) Insert the diskette into drive A (or B).
2) Start the Macro Mania install program:
  Windows 3.1 Users: Select "RUN" from the "File" pull-down menu
  Windows 95 Users: Click  "Start" then select "Run"
3) Type "a:setup" (or "b:setup") and press Enter.
4) Follow the prompts presented after the installation initializes.

NOTE:  This program, as with all of the many programs written in
Visual Basic version 3.0, requires the file VBRUN300.DLL to be 
located in your Windows\System subdirectory.  Chances are good 
that it is already there.  It is common practice not to distribute 
VBRUN300.DLL with an application because it is large and would 
reduce download time each time you obtain a Visual Basic program.  
Additionally it would take up much more space on CD-ROMs, BBS's, 
etc if it were in every application that requires it.  If you try 
the above installation procedure and you get a message that 
VBRUN300.DLL was not found, you should be able to easily locate 
it on a BBS, CD-ROM, or other common places where Windows 
shareware is found.  It's likely to be in the same general area 
where you obtained this program.  Thank you for your cooperation.

SEE "HISTORY.TXT" FOR A LIST OF NEW FEATURES.


>> WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS - TECHNICAL SUPPORT <<

When needed, I do provide technical support.  I also welcome 
any questions, comments or suggestions.  Hopefully you'll get 
as far as the installation, in which case you can read how to
contact me from the section "Custom Programming/Tech. Support" 
in the "Help" section.

I really want you to be able to use this program in the best way 
that will benefit you.  I hope you'll find it as useful as many 
others have and eventually register it.  If you need help and can 
not locate the online information, I am providing it below.  Note 
that e-mail contact is preferred because it is quick, accurate, 
and relatively inexpensive for us both.  It also saves us from 
playing "phone tag".

Naturally registered users will always be given priority, though
I do want to keep potential registrants happy too.
