                                Demo Version 1.1
                                    11/20/99


Welcome to the Demonstration program for Top-Down Library.

This version requires the runtime DLL files for Xbase++ version 1.3.  A
copy of these runtime files can be downloaded from the Top-Down web site.

Top-Down Library version 1.1 is now shipping, and includes a printed
manual with Tutorial, and all the source code for this Demo and for
the Tutorial application.

Top-Down Library may be purchased from Grafx Software at 800-659-4723, or at
their web site.  The Top-Down page at Grafx is found at
www.grafxsoft.com/topdown.htm.

The current retail price is $229, and the Grafx discount price is $179.
On January 1, 2000, the retail price will become $249.  By then Top-Down
will be available from other distributors, I don't know how much they
will discount it.

Purchase of Top-Down Library includes free tech support via my email address
at topdown@flinet.com.

                             INSTALLING THIS DEMO

This demo package contains this readme file, the demo program td11demo.exe,
and several other files.

Running tddemo.exe  with a -d switch, like this:   tddemo -d

will create a \DATA folder underneath the program folder, and extract the
following files:

 - td11Demo.exe, jawbon4.wav in the  program folder

 - two DBF's, an FPT, and a CDX in the \DATA folder


NOTE: this demo exe requires the Xbase++ runtime DLL files from Xbase++
version 1.3.  If you have Xbase++ installed the demo will run ok.
If not, be sure to download the runtime package from the web site.
