process to install. Requires VBRUN300.DLL, not included. May be obtained from 
Compuserve and most major BBS's. 

FIRST TIME USE

UPGRADING

WHEN UPGRADING FROM QFCS VERSION 2.4 OR OLDER ONLY:

If you have been using a version of QFCS older than V2.0, do not use your 
existing .DAT (Sender) files. A new field was added in V2.0 that provides for 
a description of the Sender, if you try to load the existing file two error 
messages will result "Input Past End Of File" & "File Already Open" - 
You will probably have to re-boot your system at this point so 
DON'T USE OLD .DAT FILES!. Erase your old .DAT files before 
installation! The RECEIVER.DB file is still compatible, however 
due to the file handling structure of V2.0+, no other .DB files 
other than RECEIVER.DB are usable. If you created other .DB files 
for different categories of receivers they will no longer be 
accessible from the program.

For QFCS 2.0 or newer:

COPY & RUN CONVERT.EXE IN THE QFCS DIRECTORY to convert to the new Sender and Fax 
file formats. See the Help menu of CONVERT.EXE for further instructions. YOU 
MUST CONVERT YOUR OLD DATA TO USE VERSION 3.1. DON'T USE THIS UTILITY
ON FILES FROM VERSIONS OLDER THAN 2.0.

When upgrading run install to a new subdirectory and then copy your 
old RECEIVER.DB into the subdirectory overwriting the new RECEIVER.DB 
file. Any existing cover sheet .FAX files (if converted to .FCS format) 
from version 2.0 may be loaded, however, only the first line of notes 
text will be loaded since newer versions now have a single multi line 
text box instead of the previous four single line boxes. 

Pre-existing QFCS.INI or QFCSR.INI files may be deleted since, starting 
with V2.3,a standard .ini file is created in the Windows directory.   
   

WHEN UPGRADING FROM WINCOVER 3.0 ONLY:

1> Delete ENUMFONT.DLL from your disk. It was installed by default in the
   Windows System directory.

2> Copy PPFONT.DLL, PSETUP.DLL AND VBCTL3D.VBX to your Windows System directory.

3> Copy WINCOVER.EXE, WINCOVER.HLP and CONVERT.EXE to the WinCover directory.

4> RUN CONVERT.EXE IN THE WINCOVER DIRECTORY to convert to the new Sender and Fax 
   file formats. See the Help menu of CONVERT.EXE for further instructions. YOU 
   MUST CONVERT YOUR OLD DATA TO USE VERSION 3.1.


WHEN UPGRADING FROM WINCOVER 3.1 ONLY:

1> Copy VBCTL3D.VBX and VBRUN300.DLL to your Windows System directory. VBRUN300.DLL 
   is available from Compuserve and most BBS's.

2> Copy WINCOVER.EXE, WINCOVER.HLP to the WinCover directory.



Version 3.1a incorporated the following changes: 

1> Recompiled with Visual Basic version 3.0 (now requires VBRUN300.DLL) 

2> Option menu added for user selectable date format. MM/DD/YY or DD/MM/YY.  

3> Clarifications in online help. 

4> Several minor bug fixes

5> Change of author's company name, address and payment options (now 
   accept VISA & MasterCard)

6> Corporate site application and agreement included as SITE.WRI

7> Change of data sequencing in all .FCS (saved fax files). A bug in version
   3.1 caused improper data sequencing in .FCS files if carriage returns were
   added to the notes section. This has been fixed in 3.1a. Any .FCS files 
   saved with version 3.1 will no longer be fully readable with 3.1a with comments,
   date and notes entries out of sequence. The only way to recover these files is to
   manually re-sequence the data which is actually quite easy. IF YOU MUST RECOVER 
   THESE DATA FILES CONTACT THE AUTHOR FOR INSTRUCTIONS.
