- README.TXT file for Zippidy Do Da v1.43a
- ---------------------------------------
-
- This version fixes the install bug in 1.43.
-
- Zippidy Do Da requires Windows 3.1. If it is installed on a
- Windows 3.0 system, it will not run. On versions of Windows
- prior to 3.11 it also requires SHARE.EXE to be loaded BEFORE
- starting Windows. Note, however, if you are using Windows 3.11,
- Windows for Workgroups or Windows 95 you do not need SHARE.EXE.
-
- This version adds support for Daylight Savings Time.
-
- Thank you for supporting shareware and choosing our product.
- If you haven't purchased your copy of Zippidy Do Da, please do
- it now while you are thinking about it.
-
- If you are a member of CompuServe you can use the Shareware
- Registration facility to pay for Zippidy Do Da. Just
- 'GO SWREG', then when asked for the SWREG number enter #5625.
-
- Zippidy Do Da is a shareware program for Microsoft Windows 3.1
- or greater. It is NOT FREE. You are granted a 30 day trial
- period to try Zippidy Do Da, to see if it fits your needs. If
- you continue to use it beyond the 30 day trial period you MUST
- license your copy from SMI Corporation. If you purchased
- diskette(s) from a shareware vendor that contained Zippidy Do
- Da, you have only paid a disk duplication fee. You must still
- purchase Zippidy Do Da from SMI Corporation.
-
- Zippidy Do Da is a utility program that allows you to look up
- cities by zip code, area code, state, or city name. We feel
- we have included much useful information in this release.
- However, as we continue to upgrade the program, we would be
- glad to hear suggestions from you about new features you would
- like to see included in a future release. Thank you for using
- Zippidy Do Da.
-
- The first time you run Zippidy Do Da, it will need to build
- its indexes. On an 80486 33MHz PC it will take less than 5
- minutes. You will need at least 4.5Mb available to build the
- indexes. If for some reason (power failure, etc.) the index
- build fails before it is completed you can try it again after
- you close other applications that may be running or free up
- some disk space.
-
- If you still have problems then contact SMI with the error
- messages you received and we will try to resolve the problem.
-
- Thanks for choosing Zippidy Do Da by SMI Corporation.
-
- SMI Corporation is always glad to hear from our users. If you
- find bugs or have comments about features you would like to
- see in future versions, please call or write us. We'll be
- glad to hear from you!

- INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
-
- If you received Zippidy Do Da as a ZIP file, you should find a
- .ZIP file called ZD143.ZIP (or ZIPDD.ZIP if you obtained the
- program from CompuServe). It will contain the files listed in
- the Packing List section of VENDINFO.DIZ.
-
- You should unzip the file to a directory of your hard disk and
- then run the install program. For example, if you unzip to a
- directory called C:\INST then you would execute SETUP.EXE from
- the C:\INST directory. If you use File Manager then double
- click the file SETUP.EXE in the C:\INST directory. If you use
- Program Manager then select FILE/RUN... and enter
- C:\INST\SETUP.EXE and click OK. Then just follow the screen
- prompts.
