Dawn is a minor update/bugfix release. If you already have Dawn 4.0
and experience problems using Netscape 4.x or Netscape 3.x or
if you need Pegasus Mail support you should download Dawn 4.1.
If you have Dawn 4.0 final and experience no problems you should
not download Dawn 4.1. Of course, if you are new to Dawn it would
make sense to download the latest version.

The VB6 runtime files needed for this program can be found at
this URL:  http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/win95/dll.html
See the installation instructions below for details

Dawn converts Address Books among various Address Book Programs.
Dawn is equipped with an extraction feature and 
automation. It can also sort adresses by E-Mail address or by Nickname.

distributable.

Installing Dawn

An upgrade is available if you have Dawn 4.0 beta 4 or Dawn 4.0 final
Otherwise please uninstall any previous versions before proceding. 

  Obtain Dawn from a download site.
  If you do not already have VB runtime files:
    go to http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/win95/dll.html
    Find the VB 6 runtime files. At the time of this 
    writing the latest file is SIMVB6-5.ZIP
    Unzip it into an empty folder and run setup.exe
    Follow the instructions in those files
  Uncompress the Dawn zip file into another empty folder
  Run setup.exe. Follow the onscreen instructions. 
  Dawn should now be available in the folder you chose under the Start Menu 

Note

Dawn does not come bundled with the essential 
Visual Basic runtime files which many people already have. This 
considerably decreases the size of the archive file.
