Installation Notes:

NOTE 1: During installation, do not specify destination directory

	installation program.

IF YOU ARE UPGRADING READ FOLLOWING NOTES.

NOTE 2: Note your registration number before upgrading. You will need
        it when you run this version for the first time.

NOTE 3: Program group created is now called "EasyManager", not
        "EasyManager For Windows".

        be restored. However, if you are upgrading from version 3.0
        you can restore your previous customizations by running
        EZUPDATE.BAT from the EasyManager installation directory. This
        will allow you to restore your old customizations, and also add
        most (but not all) of the new default customizations that come
        with this version.
        WE RECOMMEND YOU TRY WITHOUT YOUR CUSTOMIZATIONS FIRST.

           C:\Program Files\EasyManager\EZUPDATE.BAT

GENERAL ADVICE FOR NEW USERS
----------------------------

These are suggestions for new users to help them get started
quickly and avoid pit falls later on. Ofcourse, you can come up
with your own set of rules depending on your style.

 - Before starting, read the Help item "Getting Started".

 - Set your preferences. You can get to the Preferences Dialog
   from "Edit -> Preferences" menu item.

 - To get started, it is easiest to enter all information using
   the EasyEditor. EasyLists are more convenient, and also more
   versatile once all your data is entered in the program.

 - Some predefined EasyLists are already provided for your
   convenience. You can define new EasyLists or edit the
   definition of an existing EasyLists by clicking on
   "EasyLists -> Define EasyList..." menu item.

 - Create Person, Business, Account, ToDo, Reminder, Group objects 
   from EasyEditor by clicking on the "Type" button and selecting
   the type of Object.
   
 - For Person Objects, specify the following relationships
   whenever you can:
     - Living With: This will automatically help you share home
		    address, phone and fax between persons living
		    together.
                    
                  Person with whom others are living with is 
                  called the "Primary" Person or "Head of Household".
                  Be careful whom you select as head of household,
                  as you can filter objects based on who the head 
                  of household is.

     - Working With: This will automatically help you share
		     Company Name and Work Address between
		     persons working together. In the next
		     release, you can also optionally share the
		     work phone and fax numbers.

 - When entering a Person's name, follow a convention of entering
   first name, middle name, last name in that order. The names
   are split into first, middle and last automatically by 
   EasyManager.

 - Year part in the Date fields must be specified along with the century.
   This is to avoid the problems when we reach year 2000.
   Example: 1995 is correct, whereas 95 is not correct.

 - To quickly go from EasyList to EasyEditor, double-click the "Id" of
   the object in the EasyList. It will display the EasyEditor with the
   object selected in the EasyEditor.

 - To quickly jump to an object that is being referred to by an attribute
   of another object in either the EasyList or EasyEditor, press Ctrl+J.

 - Don't forget to try the Right mouse button popup menu in EasyLists,
   EasyLook and EasyEditor. They are very handy.
