===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
What EXACTLY is WRITTEN in the United States Constitution? . . .
and . . .
What does it MEAN?
Any sound attempt to interpret the United States Constitution must
address these two questions, especially the first.
The CONSTITUTION Notebook Program can help you answer these two
questions for yourself and to your own satisfaction.
Its faithful rendition of the Constitution through the 27th amendment
(including Ratification Resolution and the Resolution prefacing the Bill
of Rights) and its INTERACTIVE SEARCH feature can help you answer the
first question.
Its extensive (100+ pages) of rights commentary can help you answer the
second question.
Its notebook features (has INTERACTIVE INDEXING and comments editor)
allow you to create your own notes to help you remember what you learn
about the Constitution.
Install The CONSTITUTION Notebook Program on your computer now and begin
learning about your rights!

===== Installation =====================================
TCN PROGRAM INSTALLATION AND STARTUP
Installation and startup of The CONSTITUTION Notebook Program can be
slightly different depending on whether your copy came from a CD-ROM, a
disk vendor, or a BBS.
TCN PROGRAM STARTUP
The first time the TCN program is run following installation, up to 5
screens are automatically displayed to help you get started. Spend as
much time as you like on each screen. (You CAN manually access them
later.)
The last of these screens offers to automatically start EASY QT, an
automatict quick tutorial. TCNbP Company urges you to click Yes.
Some CD-ROM install programs will automatically launch the TCN program
after installing it. This is ok.
Otherwise, the TCN program is generally started using the Program Manager
icon. You can also start it from the file manager TCN.EXE icon or by
using the Run option of the Windows Program Manager File menu.
NOTE: Do not attempt to run TCN.EXE directly from the CD-ROM (by
clicking on the TCN.EXE icon or by using the Run option of the Windows
Program Manager File menu). It will not work.
INSTALLATION FROM CD-ROM
Some CD-ROMs include a "canned" install program which can be used to
install many or all of the programs contained on the CD-ROM. TCNbP
Company allows the TCN program to be installed by such programs. Consult
your CD-ROM documentation. If its canned install program will install
the TCN program, you can use it.
NOTE: If your CD-ROM does not include such an install program, you can
install the TCN program using TCNSTALL.BAT.
INSTALLATION FROM DISKETTES
Use TCNSTALL.BAT. It is self documenting. Type TCNSTALL or TCNSTALL ?
and press ENTER.
INSTALLATION FROM BBS DOWNLOADS
To install the TCN program using files downloaded from a BBS:
1. Unzip the compressed file in a scratch directory.
2. Use TCNSTALL.BAT to install the TCN program files in the directory
where you will operate it.
VERSION 3.3
Version 3.3 of the TCN program focussed on the user documentation.
The new documentation is available under a new menu called Evaluation.
The default tutorial offered when the TCN program is started after
installation is called Easy QT. The flow of information in Easy QT is
logical beginning with a few pages that tell you how to use Easy QT
itself. This is followed by a few more pages that introduce the TCN
program and study of the Constitution in a non-technical manner. Then
follows the technical information and exercises that let you know how to
actually operate the features of the TCN program. Easy QT automatically
saves your place.
Topic review (previously part of Tutorial I) is now a separate menu item
under the Evaluation menu. Access is easier - status information is
clearly presented after you have reviewed some topics - and you have a
better way of knowing what will be saved as your resume topic.
Quick Tutor lets you jump around in Easy QT materials. A two-page
outline of available materials can be printed out on paper to guide you.
Also, QT lets you access some information not covered in Easy QT.
In addition to the documentation changes described above, the interactive
registration screen was greatly simplified.
