    Read this carefully.

    Alex Belgraver and the Freeware Currency Converter cannot confirm the reliability of the exchange rates. I make no warranties, express or implied, as to the accuracy of the data provided and the performance or merchantability.

    This program and the accompanying files are distributed "AS IS". If you choose to use it, you use it at your own risk. The coder (Alex Belgraver) can not be held liable for anything that happens before, during or after running this or any other program.

    You can freely distribute this program, as long as you do not change the content of the zipped distribution file and send me an e-mail where you put it. Awards are always welcomed. ;)

    If you like the program and choose to use it, you send an e-mail to Alex Belgraver saying you really like the program. Don't forget to give me a few (about 5 to 7) compliments. ;) So, basically it's freeware. Have fun with it, and send me an e-mail. All ideas for improving the program are welcome.

- Installing -

    First, make a folder for it on your harddisk. You then have to open the zip-file you just downloaded. Try clicking on the zip-file, if that doesn't work download WinZip. If all this fails, try downloading it again or ask someone for help. Extract the files from the zip-file to a directory or folder you just made. Close the Zip-File and run the program.

    If you want a short-cut in your start-menu or on your desktop, you can make one on your desktop and then drag it to your start-menu or anywhere you want it. If you have Windows 95 without IE4 you probably can't drag-and-drop it in your start-menu, you might want to right-button on the start-button first and select Explorer there. Then drag-and-drop it in the Explorer.

    More detailed information will probably be added later this year.

- Un-Installing -
    If you tried it and didn't like it, you might want to consider uninstalling. Go to the directory or folder you created for the program. Select the files and delete them, or drop them in the recycle-bin. Then remove the, now empty, directory or folder. You might discover a new file there named currconv.settings. This is just a settings-file for my software. Feel free to erase it. It only holds some information about your settings. Also remove the shortcuts you might have made.

    Don't worry about the registry or redundant DLL's or whatever Big Bill thinks up. It doesn't use any of it. The program only uses the directory or folder it is installed in.
