Welcome to PrintControl(R) for the Microsoft(R) Windows NT(R) operating
system. PrintControl(R) is a software solution designed to assist and
enable you to track and control printing in your network. With PrintControl(R),
you can assign print quotas for individual users or groups, track
printer usage by printers/users/groups, collect printing data necessary
to produce billing reports, etc.


Installing PrintControl(R).
==============================
Before you can install PrintControl onto your Windows NT system, you will
need to create a user account for the PrintControl service to log on with (if
you are installing the service, not just the client portion). This account
should have administrators rights (member of the local Administrators group
or Domain Admins) and these user rights:

- Log On as a Service
- Act as part of the Operating System

You should create this account and assign these rights from within the
User Manager application. You can create these account either locally on
the computer, on the PDC in the domain of the computer, or on the PDC in
another account domain. Later during the setup, you will be asked for the
name of this account.

Having created the account and assigned the necessary account rights, run
the SETUP.EXE found on the distribution media.


New Features:
----------------

* What Version

A new item has been added to the Help menu. Selecting "What
is the latest version of PrintControl? Will launch the default
web browser and contact our web page (http://www.northern.se) to
see if this is the latest version of PrintControl. If a later 
version is available a list of new features and solved issues is
displayed so that the user can decide if they want/need to upgrade
to the later version.


Modifications:
-----------------

1. The message variables now start with "PC" instead of "PG".

2. The Registry settings where replaced on reinstallation.

3. Template files where replaced on reinstallation.

4. A message saying that the PrintControl share already exists is
   not displayed when the setup tries to create the share on a 
   computer on which it already exists.

5. A message saying that the PrintControl service already exists is
   not displayed when the setup tries to create the service on a 
   computer on which it already exists.

6. Version check and backup of the database. Newer databases are not
   replaced by the setup program.

7. Selected items and scroll possition are not reset when the refresh 
   occurs.

8. If you attempt to add a server for monitoring in the PrintControl
   Manager that doesn't have the PrintControl service installed. The
   Manager will inform you that the service isn't installed and that
   it can't be added for monitoring.


Solved Issues:
-----------------

1. The Default Profile item would sometimes appear multiple times in
   the PrintControl Manager.

2. If several copies of a document where printed the additional 
   coppies where not counted.

3. The number of pages in print jobs with many pages was not 
   calculated correctly.

4. If a printer was added that isn't connected to a WinNT computer the 
   PrintControl Service would crash. Non-NT connected printers can no
   longer be added for monitoring.
