==================== To Do List v1.02 Readme.txt ====================

==== Installation ====
Just unzip the files contained in todol102.zip into a temporary 
directory, run SETUP.EXE, install it, and when you are finished,
delete the temporary directory. All important files that were
in that temporary directory are now located in your installed
directory.

==== Introduction ====
Everyone always has stuff that's got to get done, or things that
they'd like to do, but keeping track of it all is sometimes hard. To
Do List is a simple application that allows you to list your items to
do, and then check them off as you complete them. 


==== Features ====
Real features:
- Ability to save and load To Do Lists (.tdl)
- Easy and fun way to keep track of items to do, rather than forming
  lots of yellow sticky notes
- Extremely small program size, no registry entries to slow down
  your system

Corny features:
- 32 bit application
- Full Windows95 look and feel
- Support for long file names
- Full Windows95 install/uninstall (completely removes it)

Known Issues:
- None! All known bugs from 1.01 were fixed with 1.02.


==== Operation ====
To Do List is extremely easy to operate, simply type click on
the box you want to enter an item to do on, turning it yellow,
and then type your item. It will be reflected in the large text
box at the top of the program, allowing you to type items larger
than the length of the individual boxes horizontally. To review
your items to do that are larger than the individual boxes, simply
click on their box and it will be revealed in the large box at top.
If you need another slot for another To Do entry, simply click
the Add New Entry button. To delete an entry, simply select it
*FIRST* by clicking on its box, making it yellow, and then click
the Delete Entry. Load List and Save List are similarly simple,
but if you try to Load List when you already have entries in the
slots, To Do List will ask you if you are sure you want to load
a new list over the one you currently have, because loading a new
list will destroy your currently displayed list (unless you have
it saved on a file). 

Note that To Do List comes with an [interesting] sample To Do
List file, sample.tdl. Check it out.


==== Runtime files required ====
To Do List v1.02 was created using Microsoft Visual Basic 4.0
Standard Edition (http://www.microsoft.com/vbasic/). Hence,
it needs the Visual Basic 4.0 32-bit Runtime files to operate.
If the program runs though, you need not read the rest of the
RunTime files section. If the program gives you a error
upon startup, you need to get the VB4 Runtime files. The main
file you need is VB40032.DLL. This is similar to VBRUN300.DLL
which was needed for programs created with MS Visual Basic 3.0
for Windows 3.1. You can download the Visual Basic Runtime
files from any good software site, including:

WinSite,
http://www.winsite.com/cgi-bin/dload/81/win95/sysutil/vb40runt.zip
(1.0mb)

ZDNET Software Library
http://search2.zdnet.com/plweb-cgi/swlib/download.pl?vbr432.zip?00002U?utilities?system_utilities
(I know the above URL is strange, but it will download the file,
trust me. Plus it's smaller than the WinSite download.)
(789k)

If you already have these files, you dont need to get it again
and doing so would only be wasting your time since it is nearly
1MB large. If you do have this file, it will be located in 
<windowsdir>/SYSTEM. 


==== Conclusion ====
To Do List is FREEWare for all, donations accepted but certainly
not expected. I realize this is not the killer app of the Windows
world but I do hope at least a few folks find it of use. If you
are one of them, please take the time to email me with your comments
and suggestions, and for that matter, even if you don't like the
program, drop me an email as well! I enjoy mail and will respond
promptly to all messages I get.

==== History ====
1.00 - Prerelease, had a delete entry error
1.01 - Fixed the Delete Entry error just prior to mass uploading.
1.02 - I had a lot of email about this. What happened was that i had
       beta controls on my computer, and when I distributed todol101.zip,
       it contained a beta version of comdlg32.ocx. This would  not install
       on peoples machines since it was a beta, but it worked great on
       mine because I already had it installed, so I couldnt know that it
       wouldnt work on other peoples systems. But it is now fixed, and I
       also added, per user request:

- Ability to create a New List
- Ability to Save As or just Save
- Now saves the checked/unchecked information with each item!
