 ** NOTE: Previous beta users can simply replace the old
          "holonote.exe" with the new one after unzipping the file.
          Your previous notes should be maintained.

0.  Unzip the file.
    The file name of the program should be "holonote.exe"
 -------------------------------------------------------------------
1.  Move "holonote.exe" and "readme.txt" to any directory you like.
 -------------------------------------------------------------------
2.  Check whether you have VB4 32bit RunTime Library in your 
    Windows 95's system directory. (usually at c:\windows\system)
    
    The RunTime Library consists of three system files
    vb40032.dll ,  olepro32.dll , and  msvcrt40.dll
    
    If you have them already, skip below and go to step 3.

    If you don't have them, you will need to download the 
    VB4 32bit RunTime Library from http://www.holodeck3.com/holonote/
    or other places.
 -------------------------------------------------------------------
3.  Run holonote.exe file from the directory you placed this program.
    (you can also create a shortcut to this program by yourself)
 -------------------------------------------------------------------
4.  Installation complete.

    U N I N S T A L L A T I O N    I N S T R U C T I O N

1.  Go to the directory where "holonote.exe" file is stored.
    (You can use FIND FILE from the Start button to find the file.)
 -------------------------------------------------------------------
2.  Remove "holonote.exe" (the program file),
           "holonote.ini" (the configuration file),
           "holo*.nte"    (the individual note files).
 -------------------------------------------------------------------
3.  Please try NOT to delete the VB runtime files, which includes
    vb40032.dll,  olepro32.dll, and  msvcrt40.dll
    from your windows 95 system directory.
   
    The reason is that maybe you have some other programs, which are 
    written in VB, that requrie these DLL fiels in your system.
 -------------------------------------------------------------------
4.  Uninstallation complete.
