   * NOTE: It is NOT possible to change any of the data in the database
     but you will receive the LATEST available database-file (updated on a
     daily bases with information from many well-known sources) with this
     registered version of the software. (# SEE ALSO REGISTRATION BENEFITS).

     THE PROGRAMME IS NOT SOLD/DISTRIBUTED IN THE MONTHS OF MARCH AND
     OCTOBER, DUE TO THE MANY CHANGES WHICH WILL BE IMPLEMENTED BY MANY RADIO
     STATIONS AT THE END OF THESE MONTHS. THESE MONTHS ARE USED TO COMPLETELY
     UPDATE ALL DATA IN THE DATABASE. OTHER CHANGES WILL BE IMPLEMENTED ON A
     DAILY BASES.


   #NOTES:

   The programme was tested on a 386 40MHz, a 486DX2 66MHz and a Pentium 75MHz
   computer and a 256 color (S)VGA monitor in various resolutions.
   It might also work using other screen types (as yet, has not been tested).

   Printing the data was tested on DeskJet and LaserJet printers which gave no
   problems; it was also tested on a standard matrix printer with no problems,
   though printing was very, very slow .... The programme can be used to print
   data but it should be used primarily to display the data directly to the
   screen and not to a printer.
