WELCOME TO PEDIGREE FOR WINDOWS

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1.  Create a temporary directory and copy all
    the files to it. Example-  C:\SETUP

2.  Go to Program Manager and select File | Run.

3.  Type the directory you created and add '\setup.exe'
    at the prompt. If you used the Example it would
    look like C:\SETUP\setup

4.  The install program uses the default directory of
    C:\PEDIGREE for the destination. You can use or create
    another directory or accept the default.

5.  A new program group and icon will be created
    for Pedigree.

6.  Add (or modify) AUTOEXEC.BAT with the following
    line:
    C:\DOS\SHARE.EXE /L:500 /F:5100

    Then REBOOT for changes to take effect.

Pedigree is a shareware product.  You may use
Pedigree for 30 days without obligation.  If you
plan to use it beyond 30 days, PLEASE register 
the program.  The cost is only $29.95, which is
more than reasonable for all it does.  Registration
benefits include: Manual, Registered version disk,
and notification of future releases.  I hope you 
enjoy using Pedigree.  Any questions or comments
can be sent as Compuserve mail -- ID # 71564,1017.

WARNING MESSAGES

Some users may experience the following messages:

I)  Share.exe not installed

Add the following line to the autoexec.bat
C:\DOS\SHARE.EXE /L:500 /F:5100
(If you use a memory manager i.e. QEMM, MEMMAKER,etc.
run the optimizer to load SHARE.EXE into upper memory.)
After making the above change to autoexec.bat, you
must REBOOT your system for the changes to take
effect.
If you are not sure whether SHARE.EXE is loaded, go to
DOS prompt and type in  mem /c | more
this will show all the programs/drivers loaded
in the various regions of memory. If SHARE is not
listed, it is not loaded.  This sometimes happens
to people with many drivers loaded.  If you see
a message regarding insuffient memory when the
computer is loading the autoexec.bat you may
have to manually type share.exe /L:500 /F:5100
at the DOS prompt.  Luckily, this is a very rare
occurence, but I mention it just in case it applies
to you.


II) Cannot find VBRUN300.DLL (occurs during execution)

VBRUN300.DLL is the Visual Basic 3.0 Run-Time DLL.
Since the file is nearly 400K in size, it was not
included to conserve your download time. If you
cannot find this file on your drive (usually it's in
the WINDOWS\SYSTEM Directory), you can download it
from the Microsoft Library. On CompuServe type:
GO MSL, and search for the file.
