------------------------------------------------------
Cumberland Family Software, www.cf-software.com

   This step is needed for ALL upgrade options if downloading from the
   internet: Unzip download file (cftw250x.zip) to a temporary folder 
   (such as c:\temp). 

Option 1: Upgrading from an earlier CFT-Win Ver 2 for Windows 95/98/NT

   Run INSTALL.EXE either from the temporary folder or from the CFT-Win
   diskettes. Make sure to install to the same directory/folder as the 
   older version resides (normally c:\cftw). When prompted to add icons
   to Start Menu, check the box to NOT add the icons, since you already
   have them there. Press OK to continue when asked for second disk. 
   (Make sure to swap disks if you have the second disk. If installing 
   from downloaded file simply press OK.)

Option 2: Upgrading from CFT-Win Version 2 for Windows 3.1

   Before running INSTALL.EXE remove the icons from the Start Menu. You
   can do this by pressing Start -> Settings -> Taskbar and clicking on
   the Start Menu tab. Press the Remove Button and remove the "Cumberland
   Family Tree" grouping. (This step is necessary because the program 
   executable is cftw32.exe for the new program and cftw16.exe for the 
   old program. Without this step the icon will continue to run the old 
   version of the program.)

   Run INSTALL.EXE either from the temporary folder or from the CFT-Win 
   diskettes. Make sure to install to the same directory/folder as the 
   older version resides (normally c:\cftw).  Press OK to continue when 
   asked for second disk. (Make sure to swap disks if you have the second 
   disk. If installing from downloaded file simply press OK.)

Option 3: Upgrading from CFT-Win Version 1

   Before running INSTALL.EXE remove the icons from the Start Menu. You 
   can do this by pressing Start -> Settings -> Taskbar and clicking on 
   the Start Menu tab. Press the Remove Button and remove the "Cumberland 
   Family Tree" grouping. (This step is necessary because the program 
   executable is cftw32.exe for the new program and cftw.exe for the old 
   program. Without this step the icon will continue to run the old 
   version of the program.)

   Run INSTALL.EXE either from the temporary folder or from the CFT-Win 
   diskettes. Make sure to install to the same directory/folder as the 
   older version resides (normally c:\cftw).  Press OK to continue when 
   asked for second disk. (Make sure to swap disks if you have the second 
   disk. If installing from downloaded file simply press OK.)

   When you first open a Ver 1 database the program will automatically
   detect the old file layout and do a conversion. SO be prepared to wait
   for each of your old databases to be converted the first time you open
   one.

Option 4: Upgrading from CFT-Pro for DOS

   Do not remove the old CFT-Pro program or databases until you feel 
   assured that you have properly transfered all your databases.

   Run INSTALL.EXE either from the temporary folder or from the CFT-Win 
   diskettes - as though this were a new installation. Create a New 
   Database in CFT-Win. Go to the File Menu and select the Import/Export
   Options and select the CFT-Pro Import. Selecting your old CFT-Pro 
   databases and import them to the new program.

Option 5: Upgrading from other Genealogy Software Programs

   You must create a GEDCOM file from your old genealogy software 
   program. Please refer to the Help or printed manual for your old 
   program for instructions on how to do this.

   Run INSTALL.EXE either from the temporary folder or from the CFT-Win
   diskettes - as though this were a new installation. Create a New 
   Database in CFT-Win. Go to the File Menu and select the Import/Export
   Options and select the GEDCOM Import to bring in the GEDCOM file created
   by your old program.
