Introduction
Thank you for downloading PTFB Pro. We hope that it will save you time, irritation and finger-wear! Please take a moment to read through the following notes. If you're new to PTFB, please read through the Getting Started section of the Help. This will quickly introduce you to PTFB Pro's features. If at any point you get stuck, the Troubleshooting guide should help you out.

What's New In Version 3?
Version 3 of PTFB Pro includes many new features and enhancements - here are the main changes from version 2:
•	Separate initial and repeat delays for both single presses and macros (sequences) 
•	Ability to edit macros and insert custom commands (e.g. run command line, run other macro) 
•	Window-less macros (operate on entire screen) 
•	Greater speed range for macro playback (1/4 speed through to maximum possible) 
•	New triggering options:
- when target window appears (as before, but now with ability to confine actions to certain days/hours)
- repeating day/time schedule (like Windows scheduler)
- your own choice of hotkey
- command line (an external program can tell PTFB to run a macro on demand) 
•	Option to conceal macro contents from prying eyes 
•	New items take a snapshot of the original target window as a memory-jogger
•	Ability to operate on minimized windows 
•	Ability to handle multiple on-screen instances of the same target window
Important Notes For Version 2.x Users
1) Upgrading
Please just install version 3 "over the top" of your existing installation without uninstalling first. This will preserve your existing target definitions, allowing PTFB Pro 3 to import them automatically. Your existing version 2 data file will be left untouched - if for any reason you wish to revert to PTFB version 2, just re-install the older version.
2) For licensed 2.x users - how to obtain a version 3 license
Licensed users of version 2 will notice that their registration name and key do not work with this new version. To obtain a version 3 license please visit the following web page: http://www.ptfbpro.com/upgrade.shtml.
