ABOUT THIS DOWNLOAD 
------------------- 

This download contains these files: 

-- readme.txt    -- which you obviously have found, 

-- file_id.diz   -- a general desription text file, 

-- amicrd02.xml  -- a portable application description file, and 

-- GreetingCardConstructionSet.exe  -- the application install program. 
 
New functionality is added to Electronic Greeting Card Construction 
Set from time to time. So it is recommended that you visit the 
program's information page, on occasion, to see if there is 
an update. The Electronic Greeting Card Construction Set's 
information page is http://www.mindworkshop.com/alchemy/crdcon.html. 

A CRC value can be used to check the integrity of a file you 
have downloaded. By assuring that the CRC check value matches 
the CRC check value for the file in question, you will reduce 
the possibility of attempting to install a damaged archive to 
about one in 4,294,964,296 - odds even longer than those of 
winning most state-run lotteries. 

You must have the Alchemy Mindworks CRC software installed 
on your system to perform this check. Please visit the CRC 
page to download the CRC software if you do not currently 
have it. It's small, free and a valuable asset to make 
sure that your Alchemy Mindworks software has not been 
damaged in transit.
