I.  Welcome to File Magic Plus 3.0
-----------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for your interest and support for the File 
Magic family of products. This README.TXT file contains
information pertinent to the use of this software.  Please
read this file prior to installing and using File Magic
Plus at your location.  

The release software is designed to be used on a 386/486
PC running Microsoft Windows version 3.1.


-----------------------------------------------------------
II.    Features and Functions
-----------------------------------------------------------

The File Magic Plus Version 3.0 Family of Products extend the
functionality previously available in the File Magic Expert
software.  The new features are numerous and extensive.  For a
more detailed description of this version software's features
and functions, refer to the User's Guide for details.  If you
are an experienced File Magic Expert user and would like a
description of the differences between the two versions of
software, refer to the READNEW.TXT text file that accompanies
this version of software.

III.   Pertinent Version 3.0 Operating Information
-----------------------------------------------------------

1.  Selecting Index All into a Full Text Document Group may
cause an application error to occur if you run out of available
disk space.  Ensure you have sufficient disk space available
before selecting Index All on Full Text Groups.

2.  In order to view embedded graphics in word processing files
you must be in either Normal or Preview mode.  You cannot view
embedded graphics in a text document in Draft mode.

3.  If you rotate the view of a section in a multi-section
File Magic Plus document, in order to retain that rotated view
for later display, you must save it before you move to another
section.  In File Magic Plus, unlike File Magic Expert, the
current view is maintained independently for each section of
a multi-section document.

4.  When you use the Separate & Merge utility to Merge entire
Super Groups and you specify Overwrite Current Item, the
system will overwrite all the existing Document Groups in
the Super Group and replace them with the Document Groups to
be merged.

5.  The Find Next and Find Previous right mouse button menu items
are only valid when searching for text within the current
document. File Magic Plus does not currently support searching
for text across multiple documents.  Considering for possible
future enhancement.

6.  Using a Full text search routine to search for text across
multiple Super Groups may cause inconsistent operating results
to occur.  Consider searching for the text within each
individual Super Group as separate steps.

7.  When using the HP DeskJet 550C color printer to print black
& white images, you must add the following line to the WIN.INI
file's [STATDLL] section.

          PageScan=No

8.  The following five file formats require specific filename
extensions to exist for proper "auto-sense" identification to
occur.  They are:

     Format               Required Extension
     ----------------------------------
     Professional Write   PWP
     Targa                TGA
     HPGL                 PGL
     GemImage             IMG
     COM Files            COM


9.  The system currently supports the generation of full text
indices from files in the following formats.  They are:

     Full Text Format               
     ----------------------------------
     ANSI
     WordPerfect
     Volkswriter
     Microsoft Word
     Microsoft Word for Windows
     WordStar
     DisplayWrite
     XyWrite
     Ami Pro
     IBM PC Character Set


10. During installation of File Magic Plus Professional or for
Workgroups on top of an existing copy of File Magic Plus Personal,
you must access the Admin Program's Directory Settings dialog box
and choose OK to specify the correct system directories' paths.
