HiTest Enhanced API for Lotus Notes Release 1.0
                Installation, Notes and General Information


                        *System Requirements*

*Hardware*
You will need 3 megabytes of disk space to install the HiTest API.
Otherwise, if you have met the operational requirements for the
software discussed below, your hardware will be sufficient for
the HiTest API.

*Notes Client*
The HiTest API requires that your operating environment have at least
the Lotus Notes client software fully installed (a full server
installation is not required, but will work fine too).  This should be
Notes version 3 or later.  Non-standard Notes installation configurations
might lead to initial installation problems.  Refer to the chapter in
the reference manual on Installation.

*Operating system and compiler*
The remaining requirements are that you have installed a supported
operating system and compiler. Supported configurations are:

        Operating system                Compiler
        --------------------------------------------------
        Windows 3.1             Microsoft C 7.0 or greater
        OS/2 1.3 (16-bit)       Microsoft C 6.0
        OS/2 2.x (32-bit)       IBM C Set++

This README.TXT file contains preliminary instructions and release 
notes.  The LICENSE.TXT file contains the licensing agreement which 
governs your initial usage rights of this product.  The HITEST.RTF file 
contains a full reference manual for online examination and printing.  
HITEST10.NSF contains the same reference manual in Notes database
format, and should be copied to your NOTES data directory.

See the installation chapter of the reference manual for details on
configuring your system for HiTest program development.


*Environment*
Once you have installed the files discussed above, you must verify that 
your PATH environment variable contains an entry which is the path to 
the Notes application directory (typically C:\NOTES).  Additionally, if 
your Notes default data directory is different from the application 
directory, you may need to add that path to PATH.  The critical point is 
to ensure that the Notes initialization file NOTES.INI can be located by 
the PATH variable.


*Licensing, Product Information and Technical Support*
All components of this product are governed by a licensing agreement 
between you or your company and Edge Research Inc.  All rights are as 
stated by your agreement.  For additional information licensing,
