     You should back up your current data files (.CAR Files) to

     versions of PSA Cards will not be able to read that file.
     This means that if you Save to your ONLY copy of A PSA Cards

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 the setup program, setup.exe, from the Program
     Manager, Start menu, or Explorer.

   INSTALLING FROM A DOWNLOADED FILE - PSANT34.EXE

     Run the program, PSANT34.EXE, from the Program
     Manager, Start menu, or Explorer.

     The install program might be prevented from loading by
     some virus protection programs.  Of course, the solution to 
     this problem to turn off your virus protection program while
     you run the installation.


   UNINSTALL PROGRAM 

     The install program implements an uninstall feature
     that will remove PSA Cards from your system.  To access this 
     program, click on Settings command in the Start Menu, then 
     the Control Panel, and finally double click the Add/Remove 
     Program icon.

     If you have added files to the PSA Cards directory that you 
     don't want to be deleted, be sure to save them in another 
     location before running the uninstall program.

   IF YOU HAVE AN EARLIER VERSION OF PSA CARDS, READ THIS:

     When you install PSA Cards for Windows 3.1 on a computer running
     Windows 95, or when you install Windows 95 over Windows 3.1 with
     PSA Cards already installed, there will be a "PSA Cards" program 
     folder on the Windows 95 Start menu.

     If you have a previously installed a 32 bit version of PSA Cards, 
     there may be a program icon on your Start menu called "PSA Cards 
     Win 32"

     When you install this release of PSA Cards a new program icon 
     named "PSA Cards Win 95-NT" will appear on the Start menu.  The 
     icon name was changed because it was felt that the old name 
     could be confusing.  Since the installation routine does
     not check for the presence of the old PSA Cards program folder 
     or program icon, you will need to remove it from the Start 
     menu manually.  To do this, right click on the Start menu,
     open the Programs folder, find the old PSA Cards program folder 
     or program icon and, and drag it to the Recycle Bin.


LOADING A DATA FILE ON STARTUP
      
     The installation program sets up PSA Cards to automatically 
     open the file "sample.car" each time you select the PSA Cards 
     icon.  To change the default file:
     
     If you are running Windows 95 or NT 4.0:
     1. Right click Start button
     2. Click "Explore"
     3. Click on the "Programs" folder and look for the PSA Cards 
        shortcut in the Contents pane. (click the words "Programs" 
        then look in the right hand window pane)
     4. Right click on PSA Cards shortcut.
     5. Click "Properties"
     6. Click "Shortcut" tab
     7. Change "Target" line sample.car to the desired file.

     You can also start PSA Cards from the File Manager or
     Explorer by double clicking (or right click - Open) on
     any PSA Cards data file that has a .car file type.

     Another Windows 95 way of starting PSA Cards with a specific 
     data file is to use the right mouse button to drag a PSA 
     Cards file's icon to the desktop.  Then select "Create 
     Shortcut(s) here" when the right mouse button menu is 
     displayed.
