What is Better Memory?
----------------------
Better Memory is a program designed to remind you of upcoming 
Birthdays, Anniversaries, and other special occasions and to give 
you enough advance notice that you have time to mail a card or 
shop for a gift.  It runs automatically every time you start your
computer and displays only the occasions coming up in a certain
number of days (which you specify).


Installing Better Memory
------------------------
To install Better Memory run the setup program (SetupBM.exe or
Setup.exe).  This program will allow you to select a location
on your system for the Better Memory files to be installed and
will provide a standard Windows 95 installation which can be
uninstalled through Windows Control Panel.


Better Memory Licensing/Distribution
------------------------------------
Better Memory is Shareware.  It is not free; however, it is 
inexpensive.  The version you have received is the fully 
functional version of Better Memory, but until you purchase a 
license and register the product there are certain limitations 
that you will notice when you run it.  When you register you will 
receive a registration serial number.  After entering this number 
on the registration window all of the limitations will be removed.
For more information on how easy it is to register see "Registering 
Your Copy of Better Memory" in the help file.
 
Better Memory can be distributed freely as long as it is not 
modified in any way.

Running Better Memory
---------------------
With Better Memory you will create a database or list of occasions
that you want to be reminded of.  There is a default list that
comes with Better Memory that has some sample occasions already
set up in it.  The first time you run Better Memory you will see
some occasions from this list.  If you click the "Mode" button
you will be switched to Edit mode and see all of the names in the
default list.  You can either delete these fake occasions and enter 
your own real ones or create an entire new list with your own
occasions.  For more information on adding or deleting occasions or
setting up new occasion lists see the Better Memory help file.


Getting Help
------------
The Better Memory help file contains complete instructions for 
using all of Better Memory's features.  You can access this help
file by selecting the icon that was automatically set up when
you installed Better Memory or by accessing the Help menu while
Better Memory is running.  In Addition, you can press F1 from any
of Better Memory's windows and get context-sensitive help for the
