				         System Requirements
		Windows 95 or NT
	



						Installation
		To install Easytext:
			From Zip File: Open the file in Your Zip program (WinZip Etc.) and click on the install icon.
			The installation program will guide you through the rest of the procedure.

			From Disk: Just click the installation icon and watch for instructions.



						UnInstalling

		Though I would hope that you enjoy the program and would not want to un-install it, Easytext comes with a
		complete Un-Install feature.
		However, as with any program, files that are created after the installation are not deleted.
		Easytext creates some files for each User added to the program.
		These files may not be uninstalled during the Un-Install process.
		To remove these files easily without having to look for them on your system, please follow these steps:

	Before Un-Installing Easytext, run the program and select 'Options, Add/Remove User' from the Menu.

	In the Add User dialog, select each User Name and hit the Remove button.  
	(Note: You will be allowed to remove all Users except the Current User. To do this you will have to select 'User, 	Restore Default' from the Menu. Now you will be able to go back and remove the last User Name. 

	That's It! This will remove all  files no longer needed. By the way, during program operation,
	any Users removed from the list of Users causes that Users initialization file to be removed.

	The Easytext Program initialization file will be removed by the Un-Install process.


					                	Help

    	The first time you use the help file, you may get a notice saying "Windows can not find the help file". 
	If this happens, Windows will ask you if you would like to find the file yourself. To do this , open the folder where 
	you installed 'Easytext'. By default this is usually named  'C:\Program Files\Easytext' There you will see the file 	'Easytext.hlp'. Just double-click on this file. You will only have to do this once. After that, Windows will find it on
	it's own.



						Problems

			Every attempt has been made to make Easytext as friendly as possible.
		If you encounter any problems that should be brought to our attention, please, by all means, do so. 
   		Hopefully, any problems you encounter can be answered in the help file that accompanies the program.


						Registering

    		So give Easytext a try and if you like it, please register.
 		For instructions on registering or ordering copies of Easytext,	please see the enclosed file 'Register.txt'
		 or select 'Registering Easytext' in the Easytext Help  file that accompanies this program or Select 
		'Help , Registering' in the Program Menu.


					Bug Fixes ( from version 1.2.0)
