Window->Data Manager from the VB-Menu. Otherwise run your file-manager
an start DATAMGR.EXE.
3. PowerTABLE is fresh and quick
--------------------------------

you should make a backup of these files; better: you should learn it┤s

5. Registration, Copyright
--------------------------
If you don┤t want to see the "Register Me!"-windows anymore, or if
you want to continue working with PowerTABLE in the future, you should
register PowerTABLE.
This can be done by simply sending a short order to us, a few dollars
or deutschmarks and - of course - your home adress and if possible,
your CompuServe ID.
A few days later, we will send you a registration-number, either by
'normal'-mail or e-mail - however you want to get it.
This number is good for one user or one workstation. If you need a
multi-user version, you must not pay the whole fee for each user, just
tell us how many users will work with PowerTable, and we will make
you a special price.
If you save time, money and nerves with this product, so please do not
forget that we made this work. Shareware can be a great thing for
everyone, for you and for us. It┤s just a kind of fairness.
