        NOTE !   fastmenu PLUS is a hard drive menuing and utility
                 program and should not be run on a floppy only system.

        ALSO     If you give a copy of this software to a friend, PLEASE
                 do not just make a copy from your hard drive. It must
                 be installed with the INSTALL.BAT file to run properly.

        A NOTE to all prospective registered users.
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        fastmenu PLUS has gone through numerous changes in the past few
        months and there has been some concern that if a user registers,
        in severial months his version will be outdated.
        Along with each registration comes a guarantee that all registered
        users will receive all updates, bug fixes, and new versions free
        of charge for a period of one full year from the date of his
        registration.

        The following is a list of files needed to run fastmenu PLUS.

        If you received fastmenu PLUS in it's archived form or downloaded
        it from a BBS, you should have two files:
                                                   FASTM51A.ZIP - Disk #1
                                                   FASTM51B.ZIP - Disk #2

        After un-archiving these two files you should have the following
        list of files on each disk.

        If you do not have a DOS directory these two files will be copied
        to your root directory.

        Note !  Due to disk space this shareware version of fastmenu PLUS
        may not contain all the options that the registered version does.
        If you use the shareware version for a period and find that you
        want to register it, not to worry. All the page application data,
        phone book data, money book data, and all other files created
        with the shareware version will work with the registered version
        and will not be dammaged during installation of the registered
        version. The only thing that you will lose during installation
        is the old module level password file.

        To install fastmenu PLUS simply insert disk #1 into any drive,
        move to that drive and type: INSTALL <enter>.  Follow onscreen
        instructions to complete the installation.
