Allegro CL 3.0.2 for Windows Online Documentation
=================================================

  Allegro CL 3.0.2 for Windows now comes with ALL documentation
available online!

  Background: Allegro CL 3.0.2 for Windows has two sets of
documentation, the Allegro.Hlp file (accessible via the Allegro CL
"Help" menu) that is installed with Allegro CL 3.0.2 for Windows, and
the "User Guide"s which come in book form(s) in the Allegro CL 3.0.2
for Windows product package.

  The Allegro.Hlp file contains specific and detailed information
about functions and features in Allegro CL 3.0.2 for Windows.  The
User Guides contain general information as well as the tutorial for
the Interface Builder, and the guide for using Allegro Runtime
(available with the "Professional Version" of Allegro CL for Windows).

  With the release of Allegro CL 3.0.2 for Windows, the User Guides
are now available online and contained in the single file,
"Allegro.Pdf".  This file is readable with the "Adobe Acrobat Reader".
You can install this reader for free on your hard disk.

  Unfortunately, many of the illustrations from the User Guides could
not be captured in the Allegro.Pdf file.  You will see blank spaces where
pictures are meant to occur.

Installation Notes
==================

  You can install the Adobe Acrobat Reader by running the program
"Acroread.Exe" available in this directory.  (Under Windows 3.1, choose
Run from the File menu and type [cd-rom drive]:\doc\acroread.exe.  Under
Windows 95, choose Run from the Start menu and type [cd-rom
drive]:\doc\acroread.exe.)  This program will ask you a short series of
questions and then install the reader into a directory of your choosing.
Afterwards, you can run the installed reader and open the file
"Allegro.Pdf" to display and navigate through the Allegro CL User Guide
on your screen.

  You may choose to copy the Allegro.Pdf file onto your hard disk.  As
long as the file is accessible to the Adobe Acrobat Reader, it does
not matter where Allegro.Pdf is installed.

  Further information about the Adobe Acrobat Reader is availabe in
acroread.txt in this directory.

  Please note that Acroread is an Adobe product that we are
redistributing as is.  Please also note that at one point of the
installation you are told to print out and send in a registration card
to Adobe.  Since Adobe did not make that card available to us for our
redistribution, that card is not included with the release in this
directory.

  If you have any questions about Adobe Acrobat Reader, please contact
Adobe as specified in the Acroread.Txt file.

  If you have questions about the contents of the "Allegro.Pdf" file,
please contact Franz Inc. at "info@franz.com" or, by telephone at
