Installation notes on Viennacompare VERSION 2.1
-----------------------------------------------

There are three files necessary for installation of this program.

comparevienna.cab
setup.exe
setup.lst

This file is called vcomp_2_readme.txt

Running the setup.exe program is enough. Simply follow the instructions,
do not change any parameters during installation (ie choose default
locations...). This program should install and run without any problems on:

Win 98 SE (has been verified long ago)
Win 2000 (has been verified on 23/4/2002)
Win XP (has not been verified)
Win ME (has not been verified)

**** You must create a "C:\vienna" directory MANUALLY. Otherwise the program
will abort with an error. Will be corrected later on. *****

In order to RUN the program under 2000/XP you will have to be power user. In
order to INSTALL the program, you have to be administrator.

In the future, MINOR UPDATES will be done by placing only the compiled 
VIENNACOMPARE.EXE on the website. To use this latest version, you'll have
to replace this file on your computer. So, for minor updates, do NOT uninstall
the program.

MAJOR UPDATES will be done by replacing the complete distribution. To install
a major update, you'll have to uninstall the previous one.

REMARK: After COMPLETING A FULL COMPARISON: all data of the comparison is in
the ACCESS mdb file. This program does not generate a separate report for
the comparison... and I do NOT have the intention of doing so. You'll have
to write a "surrounding program" to do so. Such is practice in HCM ^_^
