 Requirements
--------------

IBM PC or compatible (386, 486, Pentium, or better)
Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 95 or later, NT 4.x or later

It is preferable for you to have this Microsoft Windows system DLL:

      comctl32.dll - MS Common Controls DLL
                     (version: 4.70 or later,
                      available with Internet Explorer 3.0 or later)

   If you have an older version of COMCTL32.DLL and do not want to update
   it, Alarm++ for Windows will still work. The only change in behavior
   will be that the date control on the General property page will not
   appear, and you will not be able to use the "Repeat until" feature.
   Instead, it will be a simple static text field that shows the date you
   select on the Repeat property page. You will still be able to select a
   date on the Repeat page.

   We're sorry, but Microsoft licensing agreements prohibit us from
   distributing this file with our products.


---------
 Install
---------

   1. Create a temporary folder.
   2. Unzip the ZIP file into the temporary folder.
   3. Run Setup.exe and follow the instructions.

      If you are updating a previous installation, be sure to select the
      existing Alarm++ folder when Setup prompts you for an installation
      folder.


Using Alarm++ documents created by previous versions of Alarm++ for Windows:

Alarm++ for Windows version 3.00 and later automatically converts older
alarm database files when you open them for the first time.

However, if you have data from Alarm++ version 1.x or 2.x (16-bit), you will
need to manually enter your alarms again.  Newer versions of Alarm++ cannot
read the data stored in the alarm.ini file.


-----------
 Uninstall
-----------

1. Open the Control Panel and run "Add/Remove Programs".
2. Select "Alarm++ for Windows" and press the "Add/Remove" button.
3. Please send us a message telling us why you chose not to continue
   using Alarm++ for Windows.
