* Welcome to CMPQwk 1.42RC1 *

Please run SETUP.EXE to install.  Please read all of this file
BEFORE proceeding with the install.  We'd really appreciate that.


- About this release -

It will keep your existing CMPQwk settings if you've installed it
before, so you can install this update into your existing \CMPQWK
directory.  We suggest you do this, since you will not have a
"registered" installation if you do otherwise and have registered
a prior release.

This is a FREE upgrade to all CMPQwk users of all prior versions.

Printing has been improved greatly over the prior releases.  See the
new help file section about printing for details.

If you are an unregistered user, CMPQwk will begin pestering you after
30 days of use UNLESS you register prior to then.

Unregistered users cannot select a tagline, their tagline will say
UNREGISTERED.  We apologize about this, but it's the only way we
can think of to track use of the program, and it's hardly an 
inconvenience, since all *meaningful* features are fully functional.
