"MANAGE YOUR CONTACTS" >> 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 << To install this program, choose "FILE", then "RUN" from the Windows program manager. Then type in the path where the installation files reside followed by the word "SETUP". EXAMPLE: C:\INSTALL\SETUP 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. >> WHAT'S NEW << SEE THE BOTTOM PORTION OF "UPGRADE.TXT" FOR A HISTORY OF THE FEATURES ADDED TO THIS INCREASINGLY POPULAR PROGRAM. >> 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" pull-down menu. 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.
