================== 1. What's New in 1.5? ==================

1. New 2001 schedules included.
2. Minor bug fixed (while deleting an event while making a
new schedule)


============== 2. Installing Cotton Calendar ==============

For the fastest and easiest installation of Cotton Calendar,
determine which of the following situations (A, B, C)
resembles yours and follow the instructions. Also read
section D ("Notes").


-- A. If a version of NFL Calendar is currently installed on
your computer system, you SHOULD UNINSTALL IT before
installing Cotton Calendar.  NFL Calendar is now obsolete.
To uninstall it do the following:
	1. Click the "Start" button.
	2. Select "Settings" and then "Control Panel".
	3. Select "Add/Remove Programs".
	4. From the list select "NFL Calendar"
	5. Press the "Add/Remove" button.
Then run Cotton Calendar's setup program ("setup.exe").

-- B. If no version of Cotton Calendar is currently
installed on your computer system, simply run Cotton
Calendar's setup program ("setup.exe").

-- C. If an older version of Cotton Calendar is currently
installed on your computer system, run the setup program
("setup.exe").  When the setup program asks for the
directory (folder) to install Cotton Calendar into, be sure
it's the same directory where the current version is
located. Then the setup program will replace the old version
of the program with the new version.  It will not overwrite
or remove your options settings or any schedules you
have created.

-- D. Installation Notes:
After you register Cotton Calendar, you will
probably want to use Windows Explorer or your
favorite file utility program to delete the partial and
sample schedules from the schedules directory (folder):
"Program Files\Cotton\Calendar\Schedules".

Cotton Calendar's setup program installs files in the
Cotton Calendar directory (the default directory is "Program
Files\Cotton\Calendar") and schedules subdirectory ("Program
Files\Cotton\Calendar\Schedules").  The setup program does
not make any changes to your config.sys or autoexec.bat
files.

The following files are placed in the Cotton Calendar
directory: "Program Files\Cotton\Calendar"
   CottnCal.exe  -- Executable program file
   CottnCal.hlp  -- Help file
   CottnCal.cnt  -- Help contents file
   CottnCal.cfg  -- Configuration file
   README.TXT -- Information file
   ORDER.TXT -- Information file
   PRODUCTS.TXT -- Information file
   vendinfo.diz -- Information file
   file_id.diz -- Identification file
   pad_file.xml -- Identification file
   unins000.dat, .exe, .msg -- uninstallation files

Several schedule files are placed in the subdirectory:
"Program Files\Cotton\Calendar\Schedules"


============== 3. Uninstalling Cotton Calendar ============

The uninstall program removes Cotton Calendar. It removes
all files that were installed by the installation program.
It does not remove files (schedules you have created, for
example) that were placed in the Cotton Calendar directory
after installation.

To uninstall Cotton Calendar do the following:
   1. Click the "Start" button.
   2. Select "Settings" and then "Control Panel".
   3. Select "Add/Remove Programs".
   4. From the list select "Cotton Calendar".
   5. Press the "Add/Remove" button.

Then use Windows Explorer or your favorite file utility
program to delete the directory Program Files\Cotton\
Calendar if it was not removed by the uninstall program
(because it contained some new files).


======== 4. Distribution, License, Warranty, Support ======

Cotton Calendar is a copyrighted shareware product; it is
not freeware or public domain software. You can try it
before you buy it and you are encouraged to give
unregistered copies to others.  If you use it after 30
days, you must register it (see ordering below).

Complete warranty, license and support information for
individual users is contained in the programs' on-line
help.

Internet Web site operators, CD-ROM publishers, User
Groups, Computer Clubs, Disk Vendors, Subscription
Services, Disk-of- the-Month Clubs, BBS SYSOPS, and other
distributors should refer to VENDINFO.DIZ or pad_file.xml
for information relating to them.


====================== 5. Limitations =====================

The UNREGISTERED version of Cotton Calendar is fully
functional; however, it can load and display only schedules
created with the unregistered version.  Included with it are
complete US, Canadian and religious calendars and partial
sports schedules. The complete sports schedules available
on our Web site are created with a registered version; 
therefore, they cannot be used by the unregistered version.

The REGISTERED version can handle schedules created by a
registered or unregistered version of Cotton Calendar.  Thus,
when you register Cotton Calendar, you will still be able to
use any schedules you created with your unregistered version.
You can also download any of the free registered schedules
from our Web site for as long as you own Cotton Calendar.
