Late-breaking information
-------------------------

As with any new piece of technology, some minor last-minute problems surfaced
as the product was being tested for release.  Although every effort has been
made to test on a wide variety of machines, you may experience one of the
problems listed below.  We recommend that you save your work often; this is
always a good practice anyway.

PROBLEM:    on some machines with TrueColor (24-bit) displays, only half the
            tree will show up in normal rendering.
WORKAROUND: either run in HiColor (16-bit) or 256-color (8-bit) mode
            - or -
            run in flat-shaded or wireframe mode.

PROBLEM:    attempting to save files on the CD-ROM can result in program
            failure.  This can occur after opening one of the sample files and
            making a change.
WORKAROUND: don't attempt to save files on the CD-ROM.  Instead, use the "Save
            As..." menu item to save the sample file to your hard drive.

PROBLEM:    grouping trees, flowers, or shrubs can result in program failure.
WORKAROUND: don't group trees, flowers, or shrubs.  The behavior of plants is
            different than that of static objects like dog houses and bird
            feeders.

PROBLEM:    on some machines, subjecting the program to lengthy and heavy use
            can result in program failure.
WORKAROUND: save and save often.  This is always a good practice anyway.

Thank you for buying Softkey Landscape Architect, and we hope you enjoy
creating your "field of dreams."
