OLDAUTO.BAT, should you wish to revert to it at a later date.

			3: What is Home Office Toolbox?



Home Office Toolbox is a collection of tools designed to help you, the
home base entrepreneur to run your small business more effectively. All
of the tools provided in the program are ones that you will find yourself 
using on a regular basis to track sales, customers, costs, profits etc.
Because these tools are combined into one product, you will probably want
to keep the Home Office Toolbox application running all day, minimizing it
when you are working with other applications. This way you have instant 
access to data that you might otherwise have to waste time looking for.
Best of all, Home Office Toolbox provides you with a way to very quickly
see which of your efforts are producing the best results and the most
profit!  


***************************************************************************

				 IMPORTANT

As you are aware, this version of Home Office Toolbox is shareware and 
provided for the purposes of evaluation. When you register, you will receive
the latest version of the program with an installation routine that will 
overwrite the shareware files. It is only fair that you understand this 
before you spend a lot of time entering your data. You will have to start 
your Contact Manager and Business Card entries fresh when the new program 
arrives.

		   6: Giving Credit where Credit is Due

This program is the result of many, many hours of hard work and has been 
developed to provide you, the entrepreneur, with an easy-to-use tool to 
help run your business. I truly hope you find it helpful. It would not, 
however, have been possible to produce this if it wasn't for the efforts 
of the many dedicated individuals at Asymetrix Corporation who developed 
the tools which were used to write this program, in a product called 
Toolbook. I tip my hat to you guys and girls. You have one heck of a great
product there!
