Plan version 3.01 (02 Jan 2008) for Microsoft Windows
Copyright 2008, Twiddlebit Software, All Rights Reserved

Description:

	Plan is a project planning tool for Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP.
	A separate version of Plan is also available for Pocket PC, Handheld PC,
	Nokia 9XXX and a range of Symbian and Psion based PDAs.

	To install, extract all files to a temporary directory on your PC
	and then run setup.exe. Follow the installation instructions.

	If using Plan on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT or 2000 and you want to 
	open or save files in the MPD file format then the Microsoft Data 
	Access Components version 2.5 or greater must be installed (mdac_typ.exe).
	This component is included as standard with Windows XP, but must be installed
	on other versions of Windows. Plan will function without MDAC, but when you
	come to save or open an MPD file it will prompt you to install MDAC if
	it is missing.

	If you find that you need to install MDAC 2.5 then it can be downloaded from 
	the Microsoft website http://www.microsoft.com (search the download centre 
	for MDAC). Alternatively follow the direct link from the Twiddlebit website:

Help & sample plan

	The user guide is supplied in the form of a help file accessible
	from within the program via the Help menu.

	Also installed with the software will be a sample plan file which
	is accessible from the Windows Start menu.
