1.0   Dialog Designer Documentation

The Dialog Designer documentation, which includes the Dialog Designer tutorials,
is a file in Portable Document Format. After the Dialog Designer Extension
has been installed, the documentation file, dialog.pdf, will be
located in the av_gis30\avdocs installation directory. To view and print PDF 
files, you will need to install the Acrobat 3.0 reader from Adobe.

If you are installing the Dialog Designer with an executable that 
was downloaded from ESRI's home page, you will need to obtain
the Acrobat reader from Adobe's home page at www.adobe.com.

If you are installing the Dialog Designer from CD media,
please refer to the following notes:

Setup will prompt you to install the Acrobat 3.0 reader if it has not already 
been installed on your machine for local installations of the Dialog Designer.

For node installations, ArcView setup will not provide an Adobe Acrobat Reader 
installation option.  To install the Adobe Acrobat Reader on Windows NT or 
Windows 95, execute the avsetup\acrobat3\ar32e0.exe file located in your admin 
directory.  To install the Adobe Acrobat Reader on Windows 3.1 or 3.11, execute 
the avsetup\acrobat3\ar16e0.exe file located in your avsetup\Acrobat3 directory.
