- / WARNING /
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- DynamIP v3.02 comes with the new VB5 controls. Installation of
- this new version of DynamIP updates all your older controls! This
- may cause some of your other installed programs to malfunction
- or not to start at all, especially if they rely on a particular
- version of a control/library. For a list of controls that come
- with DynamIP please visit
- http://DynamIP.home.ml.org/DynamIPrequirements.htm
- You may want to backup your old controls BEFORE you install
- DynamIP so that you can reinstall them if you decide that you
- don't want to keep DynamIP on your system (note that uninstalling
- DynamIP will NOT reinstall your previous controls automatically).
