  Lots!  In fact, there is so much new functionality that it could be
  considered a new product.  Please see the above list of features and
  be sure to look in our on-line help for full details on how to use
  the new capabilities!


INSTALLATION NOTES & SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

  Veras Telemarketing works with all flavors of Windows 3.1, including Windows 3.1, 
  Windows 3.11, Windows for Workgroups 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11.
  Veras Telemarketing is designed to run on Windows... however, it uses your 
  memory and processor sparingly!  It requires 8MB to run but will run on any 4MB
  System 386 or better.

  Veras Telemarketing takes 4MB of disk space . It uses between 20% to 35% 
  of system  resources when it is running.

  Once you have unarchived (or copied) all of Veras's files to a directory on your 
  hard disk (e.g., C:\TEMP), run SETUP.EXE from Windows.  Veras Telemarketing
  will install into it's proper directory and be added to Windows Program Manager.


INSTALLING OVER A PREVIOUS VERSION

  NOTE!:  Follow the next few steps to prevent data loss.        
    
  1) Copy the files *.dbf to a temporary directory.
     (e.g., cd\temp, xcopy c:\veras\*.dbf)
     
  2) Change to the \veras directory and delete all files.  
     (e.g., cd\veras, del *.*)

  3) You may now run the setup.exe from your task bar or program manager 
       to install the program.

  4) Now copy the files from your \temp directory to \veras directory.
     (e.g., copy \temp\*.dbf  \veras\*.dbf)

MOVING YOUR DATA DIRECTORY

  There are a couple of simple considerations if you wish to relocate
  the data directory.

  You can copy all the files to another directory.  You must copy

  all the files.

  PLEASE do not move the data directory while Veras Telemarketing
  is running!  You could lose valuable data!

  
NOTES FOR INTERNATIONAL USERS

  Veras Telemarketing has fairly complete support for many international countries.  
  We support international date/time formats.

  We are planning to have a German and Spanish version available summer 1997.


CONFLICTS WITH OTHER UTILITIES

  The only way that you can have a conflict with utilities is if
  you have or Windows has loaded another contact manager,
  or utility that is using the modem.

  We want to thank all of you for making Veras Telemarketing a 
  major success for us!  It is your enthusiasm that has driven us

  to create this major upgrade to the original Veras Telemarketing.

  laurels...


VERAS TELEMARKETING AND WINDOWS 95 (AKA CHICAGO and WINDOWS 4.0)

  The current version of Veras Telemarketing is designed to
  operate under Windows 3.x. and Windows 95'. We are 
  working on a major update to Veras Telemarketing that will 
  take advantage of the new features offered by Win 95, and hope
  to have it available when Win 95 is released.  Please contact 
  Veras Telemarketing Software Development for further details.

  Also, please note that we are interested in creating a version of Veras
  Telemarketing to work with Windows NT, but that will probably come after
  we release the Win 95 version...
