			SeanSoft Library Loan Management System V1.0.16
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for trying SeanSoft Library Loan Management System.  This software is distributed
as freeware so it may be distributed freely to wherever you want :) 

------------------------
What is it??
------------------------
SeanSoft Library Loan Management System is a small database system intended for use in a small
library, such as one found in a school.  It stores a database of Users, Books and Loans, which
the user interfaces with via a simple menu.  There are three levels of users, each with various 
levels of privilege in their access to the database.  Features include customisable Mail Merge letters, ideal for posting overdue messages on noticeboards, Search, an easy to use interface
and many more.  

---------------------------
What's new in this version?
---------------------------
See the included file changelog.txt for a description of changes made.

------------------------
How do I install it?
------------------------
To install the program, extract all of the files in the archive to a directory of your choice, using a utility such as Winzip or Pkzip.  The first time that you run the program, the database will be created, and the first username and password that you enter will be added to the database as a supervisor, which has full priveleges.

-------------------------
Do I need anything else??
-------------------------
SeanSoft Library Loan Management System requires the Visual Basic 5.0 runtime files.  If you are using Win98, then the answer is no as these are installed with windows.  If you are using Win95, then you can easily check if you have them installed by changing to the C:\windows\system directory (or wherever your windows directory is) and seeing if you have a file named MSVBVM50.DLL.  If you do, then you have the runtime files and need go no further.  If you cannot find the file, then you may download them from 
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/simtelnet/win95/dll/vb500a.zip
In addition, you may require the Microsoft DAO, which is available from my web page.

I've got a problem, HELP!!!!!!
------------------------------
If you get an error message when running the program, please note it down and send me details of what you were doing when it happened and i will try to correct it.

If you get an error message that says MSVBM50.DLL could not be found, then see above in the section "Do I need anything else" about obtaining the Visual Basic 5.0 Runtime files.

I am quite happy to answer any questions you have so please contact me via email at seansoft@hotmail.com.
