Installing or upgrading to the ForMorph Message Converter Version 4.2
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for checking out ForMorph! We hope you will find it as useful as many other people already have. 

ForMorph provides a way to bring your mail messages, news reader messages and CompuServe reader messages along when you change from one program to another. Apart from message import/export ForMorph will let you prune and refine your message base and build an address book from your messages.

Note: ForMorph 4.2 is not compatible with the IntelliMouse scrolling wheel. Using the wheel to scroll any list in ForMorph will cause a general protection failure.

The enclosed installation program FM32TL.EXE will take care of the installation for you. Use it both if you are making a new installation and if you are upgrading an existing installation. In the latter case be sure to select the directory where you have your existing ForMorph program files.

The installation program will not modify any files or make any settings outside of the ForMorph program directory. Here is what it does:


Making a new installation
-------------------------

1. The installation program will create a separate directory for the ForMorph program files. It's called \FORMORPH by default, but any name will do.

2. It will unzip the ForMorph program files into that directory. The following files should appear:

FMORPH32.EXE	Main program (32-bit)
FMFIL32.DLL	File specifications
TMAN32.DLL		Thread manager
PBROWS32.DLL	Browse engine
C4ASCX.DLL		ASCII file driver
C4DOSX.DLL		DOS file driver
C4FOXX.DLL		FoxPro file driver
C4TPSX.DLL		TopSpeed file driver
C4CLAX.DLL		Clarion file driver
C4OLEX.DLL		OLE library functions
C4RUNX.DLL		Library functions
FMORPH.HLP		Help file
README.TXT		This file

3. It will create two separate directories below the ForMorph program directory called \CFG and \TEMP. Do not change these two directory names!

4. It will add the main program FMORPH.EXE to your program manager or start menu. That's all!


Upgrading to v4.2
-----------------

1. The installation program will unzip the ForMorph program files into the directory that you have selected (which should of course be the existing ForMorph program directory. 

2. The following files should appear after decompression:

FMORPH32.EXE	Main program (32-bit)
FMFIL32.DLL	File specifications
TMAN32.DLL		Thread manager
PBROWS32.DLL	Browse engine
C4ASCX.DLL		ASCII file driver
C4DOSX.DLL		DOS file driver
C4FOXX.DLL		FoxPro file driver
C4TPSX.DLL		TopSpeed file driver
C4CLAX.DLL		Clarion file driver
C4OLEX.DLL		OLE library functions
C4RUNX.DLL		Library functions
FMORPH.HLP		Help file
README.TXT		This file

3. As new windows have been added and the default size of other windows may have been changed, ForMorph will reset all window sizes and positions to default during the first start up. 

4. You're done!
