*** RELEASE NOTES

***********************************************************

Thank you for your decision to use Trading Partner PC/32!  We are
confident you will be as delighted as we are with this major new
upgrade to the leading Windows EDI translator.

NOTICE - Automatic tasklist processing is done differently in 5.01.23
and higher.  If a task in a tasklist encounters a fatal error, all
tasks and tasklists within that tasklist will be killed.  Previously,
other tasklists within that tasklist would still attempt to execute.

GENERAL FEATURES:

USING THE INCOMING AND OUTGOING DOCUMENTS WINDOW

The navigation through the system can be done at the Inbound Documents
and Outbound Documents window.  Double click on the Trading Partner,
and the system displays the appropriate window.

SCHEDULING TASKLISTS

To Schedule a Tasklist, you can right mouse click on a task list.
That will bring up a selection that includes a scheduling window.

DATA EDITOR

The data editor does X12 compliance checking on all the screens
that are entered by the user.  This prevents non-compliant data
from being passed to the EDI generator.

GENERAL ISSUES

If it is necessary to remove Trading Partner PC/32 from your
machine, use the "settings/control panel/add-remove programs".
Windows 95 installation changes settings within Windows 95 itself,
and Windows 95 programs must be removed correctly.  Failure to
do so can interfere with proper re-installation and/or
other products.

Due to the operation of multiple windows in the system, it may
be necessary to minimize Trading Partner PC/32 to see any error
dialog boxes.
