1. README.TXT

Since May 15th 1994 this file has been replaced with README.HLP
README.HLP is a Windows Help file with all the latest news.
You can read this file from within WineBase.

2. DECANT.EXE

To install WineBase run the DECANT.EXE program from within Windows.
You can do this from Program Manager or File Manager.
DECANT now creates a Group called "Almost Vertical Software".
If you have a "WineBase for Windows" group, please delete it.

3. MAPS

A new format for the maps has been introduced, so if you are
upgrading an old version of WineBase, please delete all files
ending in .BMP from the WineBase directory before installing
the new version.

4. GOLDBOOK

The 12th edition of Australian and New Zealand Wine Vintages
by Robin Bradley is finished and ships with WineBase v2.8

5. ARCHIVES

If you have downloaded WineBase from a BBS, you will need to
copy the Archive to a temporary directory, expand it there,
and run DECANT from there as well.

You cannot install WineBase in the same directory as contains
the archived files.

So don't create a directory called WINEBASE, copy the archive
there, expand it and then try and run DECANT, because it will
not let you.

6. OS/2

As DECANT needs to drop out of Windows and fire up a DOS Window,
if you are using OS/2 WIN, make sure that OS/2 has the DOS option
on, before running DECANT (as it will hang if you don't).
