BETA.TXT ======== Steve Dossick's RabbitHelp (R) beta 1.1 for Microsoft Windows '95 (TM) is subject to the terms detailed in the license agreement accompanying it. ************************************************* IMPORTANT! Before going any further, please read and accept the terms in the file LICENSE.TXT ************************************************* Depending on which Windows '95 beta edition you've received, Steve Dossick's RabbitHelp (R) will help you with WordPerfect (R) 6.1 for Windows, Microsoft Word 6.0 Windows, Microsoft Excel 5.0, Lotus 1-2-3 Rel. 5.0 for Windows, and other Windows applications. To submit bug reports or other feedback, you may email us at: tech@websters.com Please be as specific as possible about the version of Steve Dossick's RabbitHelp (R) you are using, your hardware configuration, and your operating system (including version). If possible, include a test case for the problem. From our 1.0 experience, and the fact that Windows '95 itself is still under continuing development, we learned that it is impossible for us to provide support for beta releases. There will be no Technical Support (including discussion of bugs, compatibility, or how-do-I-get it to work) for 1.1, by any media (email, telephone, etc), until the final release 1.1 is published. Unfortunately we will not be able to answer questions you put in your feedback. If you report a bug we don't know about, and if we need specific information to get the bug fixed, we'll send you email. ============================================================================== Installation Instructions ============================================================================== * Installation SECTION -1- CD ROM BASED INSTALLATION Insert the CD containing RabbitHelp into your CD-ROM drive.
