>> WHAT'S NEW <<

SEE "HISTORY.TXT" FOR A LIST OF NEW FEATURES.


>> INSTALLATION <<

1) Insert the diskette into drive A (or B).
2) Start the Macro Mania install program:
  Windows 3.1 Users: Select "RUN" from the "File" pull-down menu
  Windows 95 Users: Click  "Start" then select "Run"
3) Type "a:setup" (or "b:setup") and press Enter.
4) Follow the prompts presented after the installation initializes.


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.


>> COMMON INSTALLATION PROBLEMS <<

Sometimes (especially with Windows 95) you may get the message
"Can not copy DDEML.DL_, destination in use" during installation.
If this occurs and you are unable to continue, just look for the
file called "SETUP.LST" and remove the line "DDEML.DL_".  This
will prevent the installation routine (the dumb, but cheap one
that comes with Visual Basic) to quit trying to copy that file.
(Since you already have the file, it's fairly safe to assume
you don't need it anyway.)


>> 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 "Contacting the Author for 
Technical Support" in the "Help" section.

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.
