Thank you for evaluating this shareware version of LinkMate.

To install LinkMate you MUST run SETUP.EXE.  The Setup program will 
guide you through the installation process.  If Setup needs to update
system files, you may need to reboot your computer and run Setup 
again.  Setup will inform you if this is the case.

NOTE:  You should NOT launch the Setup program from the Add/Remove
Programs applet in Control Panel.  There is a bug in Add/Remove 
Programs which prevents a successful installation on a small 
percentage of systems.  It is HIGHLY recommended that you run Setup 
by double-clicking SETUP.EXE from an Explorer window.

Most users should not have any problems with the installation, but if
you do, send email to mhdsoft@aol.com.  Please be as concise as 
possible when describing your problem and state any error messages you
get EXACTLY as they are displayed.  Limited technical support
is provided to non-registered users so that they may thoroughly
evaluate LinkMate.

LinkMate is NOT compatible with Windows NT 3.51.  There is a known 
incompatibility installing and running LinkMate on some NT 4.0 
systems.  This is not a problem with Linkmate, per se, but an
incompatibility with the COMCTL32.OCX custom control on certain NT 
systems.  Obtaining and installing Service Pack 3 for NT 4.0
should resolve any problems.  SP3 can be obtained from Microsoft's web
site (http://www.microsoft.com), or more specifically from the 
NT Support page (http://www.microsoft.com/NTWksSupport) but since URLs
tend to change frequently, this address is not guaranteed.

Before running LinkMate for the first time, it is strongly recommended
that you open the LINKMATE.DOC file and read it.
