    
    If you are UPGRADING from a previous version of MediSoft, it is 
    important that you consider the following items BEFORE continuing with 
    this installation:
    
    1. YOU SHOULD MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR DATA (AND PROGRAM) BEFORE 
       INSTALLING THE NEW SOFTWARE.
       
    2. If you use the following programs, you should have received an 
       update to these programs also.  Don't install the new version of 
       MediSoft until you receive them (call your distributor).

           * Barcode Billing                * Just Claims
           * Final Draft

    3. The first time you run the MediSoft program, the data files will 
       be automatically converted to accommodate the new features of the 
       program. This conversion may take from 30 minutes to greater than  
       7 hours, depending on the size of your data and your computer's 
       speed.  It is usually best to install at the end of a day or week,
       or when the computer will not be needed for data entry.
