		         Welcome to RetireA

Before  using  RetireA,  read  the  following  disclaimer  clause:

McGrath Concepts, LLC    (hereafter referred to  as "THE COMPANY")
does not  make any  claims about the ability  of this program   to 
improve the user's financial position, current or future.     This 
program is merely a tool and  the usefulness  of this tool depends
largely  on  the ability  of  the  user  to  define,  predict  and 
interpret current  and  future  financial factors.
As with  any computer software,  it is  quite possible  that there 
could be  problems with  the program  which  could cause incorrect
results.   Although considerable testing has been performed, there
is no way to guarantee that all results are correct.    Users must
accept the program as is with this understanding and  agree not to
hold THE COMPANY liable for program errors (if any). 
THE COMPANY also disclaims  any responsibility  for damage  to the
user's data base or damage to  any  user's software  or equipment.

If you agree with  the above statements and agree  not to hold THE
COMPANY      (or  the  distributor  where  you  received  RetireA)
responsible  for any losses incurred  while using  or  because  of  
using RetireA, then proceed.
Read the End-User License Agreement (EULA.txt file) for the  legal
agreement between user(you) and THE COMPANY.  An icon for EULA.txt 
is located in the RetireA v2.8 rel 5 Program icon group. This will
provide the policy  for making  back-up copies  of files, refunds,
and other user rights and responsibilities.

Installation
Note: RetireA is designed to run  under  Windows 3.1.   It has not
been tested under earlier versions of Windows.    (However, it has
been tested under Windows 95 - and runs fine.)

Double click the file downloaded from the web site. This is a self
extracting file and contains everything required for RetireA.
Follow the on screen instructions.
******************************************************************
NOTE: Even though the RetireA files only take about a megabyte  on
the hard disk when installed, the install program  may install the
files incorrectly, if the disk is too full. Too full is defined as
having only 2 megs or less before doing  the RetireA installation.
Thus, if you  have  a problem running  the install program,  clean
your hard disk  of any unnecessary files  until there is  at least
2 megabytes available (3 would be better)- and then install again.
******************************************************************

That should conclude the installation.  Next is the entry password
that is required to enter RetireA.

Data sets (.RET files) created  with all prior versions of RetireA
will not work with this Version.

The first thing I recommend  is  reading  the on-line help topics,
especially the Overview, What's New?, Quick Demo and the Tutorial.

If  you  do  not wish  to execute RetireA  at this time,  read the
RetireA  help  file (RETIREA.HLP) by  double  clicking  it's icon.

If you have  a printer, print  the Tutorial  help  using  the Help
 File | Print.  Then, when  you are ready  to try RetireA,  follow
the Tutorial using the supplied test file SAMPLE.RET.
