The CD-ROM in distribution was cut 10/12/1999.  Unless the dates above are later than 10/12/1999, the CD-ROM contains the latest programs, instructions, and forms.

You will need about 10 meg of free space to load each  program (you can get by with less if you delete the zip file after you extract the contents).  You will need WinZip (see the link below).

You will need to have either Access 2000 or the Access 2000 run-time installed on your desktop to use these programs.

You do not need to run the management programs to use the tool kit.  The templates and forms are designed to be used alone.  

After extraction, run Setup.  The first time, the package will attempt to update your desktop, re-booting your system at least once.  This only works with Windows 95 and Windows 98 systems. 

The program will install in "Program Files" and appear in your program menu.  Before downloading subsequent versions of the program, uninstall the last version from Control Panel-Add/Remove programs.

Please report your experiences with various system configurations, screen resolutions, date formats, etc.
