******************************************************************************
Thank you for using Kudo Catalog Reader for Windows.  You have chosen the
best image and multimedia management tool available for Windows. We appreciate
any comments or suggestions you might have that would help us provide the best
product and service possible.  You can find more current information by visitng
our Web Site at http://www.imspace.com
******************************************************************************

System Compatibility:
Kudo Catalog Reader is a Windows 3.x application that will run under Windows 3.1,
3.11, Windows for Workgroups 3.1, 3.11, Windows NT, and Windows 95.  With
Windows 95 and NT, Kudo Catalog Reader will not install OLE files into the system
directory; Windows 95 and NT has it own advanced OLE file system.

Long file names are not supported by Kudo yet; although you can view and place
images from a long file name directory as long as the truncation of the paths and
file names are unqiue.

Relative    Relative Addressing allows anyone with a Reader
Addressing:    to access images or media files if the media files are in the same
        directory as the catalog or in the same path with a different drive
        letter.
        For example, if the CDROM drive letter changed from D: to L:, Kudo
        Cataloger Reader ( Image Cataloger ) will locate the media file and
        display it or play it!  The same applies to placing images.

INSTALLATION:

This documents all the changes that the Kudo installer makes
when installing Kudo:

*    Application files are copied to the target directory,
    typically c:\kudoread

*    The installer searches for the Microsoft OLE 2.0 DLLs
    on your machine. Three things can happen as a result
    of this search:

    1)     If they are found (as the result of someone
        having installed another OLE 2.0 compliant
        application), and they are of the same or
        a newer version as the copies that Kudo is
        shipped with, then nothing is done.

    2)     If they are found but are of an older
        version than the copies Kudo is shipped with,
        then the Kudo installer will copy its newer
        versions over the existing ones, wherever it
        might find them on your machine.

    3)     If they are not found, Kudo places new
        copies of all the OLE 2.0 DLLs into your
        WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.

The OLE 2.0 DLLs are functionally an extension to the
Windows 3.1 operating system, and so are effectively not a part
of Kudo at all.

This means that, once installed, they are available for all
applications that support OLE 2.0, and need not be installed
more than once.  Other OLE 2.0 compliant applications will
generally observe this convention, and will not duplicate these
files in their installation if they are already present.  For
this reason, if you un-install Kudo, it may be risky to remove
these files unless you are certain there are not other
applications that rely on them.

The OLE 2.0 DLLs are:

    ole2.dll
    ole2conv.dll
    ole2disp.dll
    ole2nls.dll
    ole2prox.dll
    compobj.dll
    storage.dll

*    An additional DLL, BWCC.DLL is installed following an
    identical procedure to the OLE DLLs.  This file fills a
    support function and is shipped with many applications.

*    The Kudo installer determines if it needs to modify
    AUTOEXEC.BAT.  You will be prompted before it modifies
    the file.  If you agree to modification, the line:

    SHARE.EXE /L:500 /F:5100

    will be added to AUTOEXEC.BAT.  If there is already a
    line present that loads SHARE, then that line will be
    modified to ensure that the /L and /F options are at
    least as large as the amount that Kudo requires.

*    The Kudo installer then registers Kudo as an application
    with Windows, and takes care of registering OLE 2.0 on
    your machine.  Effectively, this modifies the
    registration database, REG.DAT, in your windows
    directory, and indirectly, your WIN.INI file.  It
    is accomplished by running REGEDIT.EXE with the
    files OLE2.REG and KUDO.REG, which are installed to
    your target Kudo directory.  This operation can be
    repeated manually if REG.DAT ever becomes corrupted,
    see tech note file "REGEDIT.TXT".

*    It is recommended to install the program in 256
    colors. In some computers, running in more than 256
    colors during installation may not create or display
    all the Kudo Browser categories.

*    Please register the program by filling out the
    REGISTER.TXT information found on the CD. To do this,
    open the above file name using the Notepad application
    found in Program Manager. Fill in the appropriate
    information, then print the registration form.

    Please fax this registration form to [phone].

KNOWN INSTALLATION PROBLEMS:

Two situations have been observed to cause problems with the
installer:

1)    Installing to a PC that is configured as a diskless
    workstation can confuse the installer as to the
    whereabouts of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  In this
    situation, the installer generally cannot access
    your boot drive.  When the installer attempts to
    modify your autoexec file, it will probably come up
    with a path to an AUTOEXEC.BAT that doesn't exist,
    such as A:\AUTOEXEC.BAT. If this happens, you will
    need to make the modifications yourself. Select the
    option to NOT have the Kudo installer modify your
    autoexec file, and then, after the installation is
    complete, manually add the line:

    <path>\SHARE.EXE /L:500 /F:5100

    to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  <path> is the full path
    to your DOS directory (or wherever SHARE.EXE exists).
    The /L & /F options are suggested minimums. If you are
    already loading SHARE in your autoexec, then you only
    need to ensure that you add the command line options
    to the SHARE statement.  If the options are already
    there, and they are larger, then leave them alone. If
    they are there but are smaller, then use the values
    suggested here. You will need to reboot your computer
    for this change to take effect.

2)    Installing to a network version of Windows can cause
    problems if the user does not have write privileges
    to some of the Windows directories. The Kudo installer
    may need to add some DLL's to your current
    WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.  This directory will often
    be on a networked drive that is read-only when you are
    running a network version of Windows.  You will get
    messages to the effect of "Can't write to file ... due
    to read-only protection...", etc. This indicates that
    you will need to have the network supervisor run the
    installation in supervisor mode to obtain proper
    write access to the necessary directories.

VIEWING IMAGES IN THE KUDO BROWSER
**************************************************************

NOTE: The Kudo Browsers were created for the .BMP format only. The images are
also in the .WMF format and are identical to those in the .BMP format.
When viewing the Kudo Browser you will find the following categories: Borders,
Calendars, Cards, Corners, and Tags. These categories were placed in the browser for
viewing the images. It is recommended, however, to use these categories
in the .WMF format instead for better resolution and resizing capabilities. To go to
the .WMF images click on the Content folder
next click on the .WMF subdirectory.
