		Release Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------------

About ComCodeS

ComCodeS is a small program that will encode and decode text.  It is
designedto work in conjunction with the Windows Clipboard. Although,
you may type plain text directly into the ComCode text box.  
	
It can be used to encode outgoing E-mail or text based documents on 
your hard disk. It offers limited security for E-mail and other text
based documents. The security is limited by the fact that anyone with
the program can decode anyone else's code. 

This shareware version is not time limited.  Once on your computer,
you can use it forever.  However, it is not freeware.  If you use it,
please pay for it. The cost is USD $10.00 or AUD $15.00.
	
For payment in US Dollars: 
	Please send your E-mail address along with your $10.00 check, 
	payable to A. Gaudette, to:

	Please send your E-mail address along with your $15.00 cheque,

What's New in Version 2:

The UI has been re-designed to allow more of the message or code to be
viewed without scrolling.

A bulletproof feature was borrowed from the Pro version that insures
that the Windows Clipboard is cleared on exit.

The code algorithm now handles all the ASCII printable and control
characters that Windows recognizes.


Distribution:

You are free to distribute the file ccsv2.zip to anyone.  It is
a condition of use that you not share the program file without the
readme.txt file


System requirements:	Win9x 
The VB4 runtime file vb40032.dll ( Microsoft Corporation) must be
in your Windows/System folder before installing the program. The
file needed for this program can be found at this URL:  

	http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/win95/dll.html

	Look for vb40032a.zip


Installation:

You have already unziped ccsv2.zip and are doing the right thing
by reading this file.  Put all the unzipped files into an empty
temporary folder. Run Setup.exe and follow the on screen instructions
(remember vb40032.dll is required).

After Installation you may delete all the unzipped files and send
ccsv2.zip to the people who will get your encoded messages.

Note:  If you install ComCodeS in other than the default directory or create 
additional shortcuts, and then later decide to un-install it, you will have 
to manually remove the added links \ shortcuts.
