- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- README.TXT file for Zippidy Do Da v1.43a
- ---------------------------------------
-
- This version fixes the install bug of 1.43.
-
- Zippidy Do Da requires Windows 3.1. If it is installed on a Windows 3.0
- system, it will not run. On versions of Windows prior to 3.11 it also
- requires SHARE.EXE to be loaded BEFORE starting Windows. Note, if you
- are running Windows 3.11, Windows for Workgroups, or Windows 95 you do
- not need to load SHARE.EXE.
-
- NOTE: UNLESS YOU ARE RUNNING ONE OF THE OPERATING SYSTEMS LISTED ABOVE
- YOU MUST LOAD SHARE.EXE BEFORE RUNNING WINDOWS.
-
- Zippidy Do Da is a utility program that allows you to look up cities by
- zip code, area code, state, or city name. We feel we have included much
- useful information in this release. However, as we continue to upgrade
- the program, we would be glad to hear suggestions from you about new
- features you would like to see included in a future release. Thank you
- for using Zippidy Do Da.
-
- The first time you run Zippidy Do Da, it will need to build its indexes.
- On an 80486 33MHz PC it will take less than 5 minutes. You will need at
- least 4.5Mb available to build the indexes. If for some reason (power
- failure, etc.) the index build fails before it is completed you can try
- it again after you close other applications that may be running or free
- up some disk space.
-
- If you still have problems then contact SMI with the error messages you
- received and we will try to resolve the problem.
-
- Thanks for choosing Zippidy Do Da by SMI Corporation.
-
- SMI Corporation is always glad to hear from our users. If you find bugs
- or have comments about features you would like to see in future
- versions, please call or write us. We'll be glad to hear from you!

- and enter C:\INST\SETUP.EXE and click OK. Then just follow the screen
- prompts.

- you do not have a complete package and it will not install or run.
