INSTALLATION  (Windows 95/98 required)

Special instructions for those who have downloaded this program

   COMCAT.DLL      11-18-97
before running the setup program in this archive.

Many users have these standard files already installed on their 
machines, so they were omitted from this archive, both to shorten
your download and to save archiving space.

If your machine lacks any of these files, or if the files on your

before running the file SETUP.EXE found in this archive.

These files may all be found on the SimtelNet site (where you 
downloaded this archive), together in a convenient package, 
   vb5rtsp3.zip 
which houses the self-installing file, vb5rtsp3.exe

Look in the path
/simtelnet/win95/dll/vb5rtsp3.zip
for this file.

When you have acquired vb5rtsp3.exe, execute it on your machine,
to install the required files.  Once this is done, proceed with the
normal installation of files found in this archive, as follows:

1. Unzip the files in this archive to a tempory directory.
2. Execute SETUP.EXE, by double-clicking in Explorer, or using the
   RUN facility on the START menu.


PROGRAM DESCRIPTION   

Mile Manager is a powerful, flexible, highly customizable collection
of features for tracking your appointments, trips, elapsed time and 
mileage, fuel receipts, and other aspects of your vehicle usage.

Creates dozens of reports, all of which are customizable, of time,
mileage, and equivalent charges (using your custom time and mileage rates
and settings) and client or place visitation.  

Keeps track of reimbursed and unreimbursed charges, fuel usage, and vehicle
activity in your own custom-defined Usage Categories.

Maintains automatic visitation histories for all places or clients
in your trip and appointment records.

Contains a powerful appointment calendar, with daily notes, popup
alarm, and other features.

Data can be shown in grid format, compared in colored charts, or viewed 
in detailed reports, as well as being sent to Excel directly using  
automation.

Designed both for professional and casual users, but will be particularly 
useful for consultants, sales persons, and anyone who uses their car for 
work, keeping appointments or other business purposes.  (Also is ideal 
for documenting tax-deductible vehicle usage, by anyone who needs to do so.)

Extensive documention is enclosed, along with an example database containing
samples of all of the Mile Manager record types (appointments, trips, vehicles,
usage categories, payment mentods, client-location records, etc.)
