If you are going to use MonthVu for the first time, you can ignore this readme file and reference the manual for installation instructions. And if you can't be bothered to read the manual, just copy the MONTHVU.OPA file to any APP directory, install it from the system screen and select your agenda file. However, if you have a large agenda file, you may encounter a heap overflow problem which will require some tuning in the Preferences section - in that case, please read the manual for instructions!

REGISTERED/EXISTING MONTHVU USERS - READ THIS CAREFULLY!!!!!
1. Before upgrading to this new version, make a note of your registration ID and any custom preferences you may have set and then delete the following 3 files in the \app\ directory (the Bin and PRF files will only be there if you are upgrading from an earlier version of MonthVu).
MONTHVU.OPA
MONTHVU.BIN
MONTHVU.PRF
Also delete all files in \APP\MONTHVU if there is a MONTHVU sub-directory underneath APP.
2. Copy the MONTHVU.OPA file into the appropriate \app directory.
3. If you have an earlier version of MonthVu installed, remove the application from the System screen and re-install it.
4. Run MonthVu. If there are no problems, restore your preferences, and re-insert your Registration ID. You may also want to look at the About dialog and make your title heaps and repeat heaps somewhat smaller as MonthVu will have made them as large as memory permits. Note that MonthVu will automatically create a MONTHVU sub-directory under APP and all files except for the MONTHVU.OPA file will be placed in that sub-directory. If you get an overflow on your title heap, you MAY be able to add as much as 1,000 to 1,500 bytes, but make sure you can still get into the More Preferences dialog without a NO SYSTEM MEMORY error. If your heaps are overflowing, your first step will be to adjust the MAX SIZE OF ITEM TEXT preference item down to say 40 or so. If that's still not enough, take it down to 15 or even 10 to get it to work.
5. If you have problems installing this new version, consult the manual, or immediately send an email to Pimlico Software: 71165.1115@compuserve.com.
