 Quick Note
=-=-=-=-=-=-=

If you have previously installed Thumbs Up for Windows, you will see two 
sets of icons for Thumbs Up, for Readme, and for Thumbs Up Lite Source.  
Highlight the original icons, then select File, Delete to delete the 
extra icons (using the original icons is not a problem, however, and will 
still use the newly installed Thumbs Up files).

Thumbs Up for Windows requires CTL3D.DLL.  If you don't have this loaded, 
do the following steps:

1).  Change to the C:\THUMBSUP subdirectory (or where ever you installed 
      the files)
2).  Type the following to rename the file:
      REN CTL3D.SAV CTL3D.DLL
3).  Thumbs Up for Windows will now run normally.  Click on the icon or use
      Program Manager to run it.

 New Alchemy Windows Search Engine                  
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

The database search engine, Alchemy, has been upgraded to include new 
features, such as: 
  
  *Right mouse button support 
  
    This simplifies moving through the program.  Press the right mouse 
    button to see the available options.

  *Ability to display multiple .TIF images
  
    Alchemy can now display more than one page of attached scanned 
    documents. This has allowed me to include scanned installation guides 
    for many Adaptec host adapters.
