Important notes
***************

   Welcome to the wonderful world of ToolManager 2.1 :-)

   - ToolManager and its concepts have drastically changed (see  History)
     since the release 1.5.

   - Starting with the ToolManager 2.0 release, this program has a
     GiftWare option. If you like the program and use it very often,
     you should consider to send a little donation to honor the work
     that the author has put into this program. I suggest a donation of
     US $10-$20 or 10-20 DM. Please don't send cheques or money orders
     from outside Europe, because most often cashing those items costs
     more than what they amount to.

     If you don't send the donation or can't afford it, you needn't
     feel bad about it. Please send me a note saying that you are using
     ToolManager anyway (I like to get fan mail :-). See
      Authors address.

   - Users of ToolManager 1.X/2.0 can start with the quick installation
     chapter (see  Quick installation). Some features haven't changed
     and the rest is fairly easy to find out by trial & error. For a
     detailed description of the new concept & features browse the
     reference part of this document (see  Objects).

     You must remove any running ToolManager 1.X/2.0 or the new version
     won't work. The new version cannot read the old 1.X configuration
     file format (Sorry).

   - First-time users should read the entire document to understand the
     concept and purpose of the program. Start with  Introduction.

   - ToolManager 2.1 uses some features of AmigaOS Release V38 (and
     higher) and it supports the new AmigaOS networking features, which
     will (hopefully) be available soon to all Amiga users. If you are
     still using Release 2.0 (referred to as V37 in this document), you
     need not worry since ToolManager doesn't rely on these features.
     All extended features are marked in this documentation.
