- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- ****** IMPORTANT NOTE TO EXISTING USERS OF 5TIME ******
-
- If you have used the Export/Import facility then please note that
- these functions have been removed in 3.1.
-
- The reason is that the Backup/Restore is the preferred option and,
- in fact, the Export/Import facility only replicated this functionality
- but in a different form.
-
- Before installing the new version please import all the data files
- and make the necessary Backups now.
