			     About WinCharging

	Thank you for trying WinCharging.  It's the newest and 
	best way to manage your credit cards.

	WinCharging can do a lot more than simply monitor credit 
	card expenditures.  If you use credit cards to earn car 
	rebates or to get money back, WinCharging can help you earn 
	even more.  When you've reached the maximum rebate on one 
	card, WinCharging warns you so you can switch to another 
	income-producing card.  That way your credit cards are 
	always working for you.

	If you're just trying to come to terms with what you spend
	on your cards, WinCharging helps you figure out where,
	exactly, your money is going.  You can categorize your 
	records to your heart's content.  And generating reports is 
	simplicity itself.  It even does Tax Summaries.

	Another reason to use WinCharging is that while your credit
	cards are safe, you can never be sure about your account 
	numbers.  With mail theft on the rise (especially of account 
	numbers), it's important to be sure that you're paying only
	for what you bought.  WinCharging helps you keep track of 
	each and every one of your charges.

	WinCharging holds a Four-Star rating from Ziff-Davis, the 
	parent company of PC Magazine.  It was also named runner-up 
	in the 1995 Shareware Awards contest.  One Ziff-Davis 
	reviewer called WinCharging "a sophisticated credit card 
	management system ... for detail-oriented people."

	Highlights of this version -

		1  Works with all date/currency formats (Roman alphabet)
		2  Windows 95 compatible
		3  Handles high resolutions up to 1280 x 1024
		4  Pay down methodology automated
		5  Enhanced for speed
		6  Better protection against deleting needed data

	=========================================================

			     SHAREWARE VERSION

	This is the "try before you buy" Version of WinCharging,
	otherwise known as the Trial Version.

	It is a full-featured, fully functional program that you can 
	test on your computer for three full months.  After that 
	period you can continue to access your existing records, but 
	you will no longer be able to create new ones.

	=========================================================

		       HARDWARE/SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

	WinCharging requires Windows 3.1 or 3.11, 4 MB RAM, 2.2 MB 
	of hard disk space, and a 386DX or better.  It is Win95 
	compatible and runs well in Warp 3.0's full-screen or 
	seamless Windows boxes.

	WinCharging now runs under all Windows code pages.

	=========================================================

				INSTALLATION

	To ensure a perfect installation, make sure you have all of 
	the files listed in CONTENTS.TXT.  If any are missing, 
	contact your shareware distributor immediately.

	If you downloaded WinCharging's ZIP file and expanded it on 
	your hard disk, you can either copy the files to a floppy 
	to create an installation disk or simply install WinCharging 
	from your hard drive (which is considerably faster).

	To install, start Windows.  Open the File Menu and click 
	Run.  Put the installation disk in your a: drive and enter 
	A:SETUP on Run's command line.  If you put the disk in your 
	b: drive, enter B:SETUP.  If you're installing from a 
	directory on your hard drive, enter the full path plus 
	SETUP (for example: C:\TEMPDIR\SETUP).

	Setup checks to ensure that your system meets certain 
	requirements.  If all is in order, it displays the default 
	directory for WinCharging's files.

	You can put WinCharging's files in any directory you wish,
	but as with any other major program, the files should be 
	placed in their own directory, and that directory should be
	right off the root directory (e.g., C:\WINCHARG) for 
	optimum drive efficiency.

	=========================================================

			      GETTING STARTED

	WinCharging comes with a special online Help file called 
	MeFirst!.  It's easy to read and comes with loads of 
	graphics to simplify the setup process.  When you start 
	WinCharging the first time, it asks you if you would like
	to see MeFirst!.  Reply yes.

	With both WinCharging and MeFirst! open, you can simply
	<Alt>+<Tab> back and forth, first reading MeFirst! about 
	how to do something, then switching back to WinCharging
	to actually do it.

	When you no longer need MeFirst! you can delete it by 
	selecting a command found on the File Menu.
