THANK YOU!
==========
Thank you for your interest in Dataman Barcode System's KwikBar bar code
demonstration program. The KwikBar program's primary role is to assist user's
who wish to understand bar coding or need to implement bar coding into their
existing systems. The way this has been achieved with KwikBar is to provide a
stand alone program that allows the user to observe the construction process
involved with various bar code symbologies, bar codes can also be assembled
by KwikBar and then copied to the clipboard for pasting into other programs.

The KwikBar Help file contains detailed information on the various bar code 
symbologies supported and also provides examples and instructions on using 
the separate components of the program in a user's own application.

The bar code True Type fonts and bar code DLL components supplied with this
demonstration program have been designed to work with a range of Windows 
applications. These components will enable a variety of bar code symbologies
to be easily integrated into a user's own application software or directly 
with the use of the KwikBar bar code demonstration program.

Please read the following as it contains important information about this 
release.

INSTALLATION
============
The Demonstration/Shareware program and support components plus installation 
routines have been included in a file named DMK-Bar.Zip. The program also
requires the DLL file Msvbvm50.dll to be installed in the Windows System
directory before the program can be run. Due to restrictions applied by the
software distributors this file is NOT present in the DMK-Bar.Zip archive,
it is therefore necessary to download this file separately from the source
and to ensure this has been installed before proceeding with the install.

We recommend that DMK-Bar.Zip be copied to a directory of choice on the 
primary hard drive and then unzipped. Once the expanded files have been 
created the installation can be completed by running the Setup.Exe program 
provided.

The installation program does include an Uninstall option, what this means is
that the program may be uninstalled by using this facility or by using the
Windows Add/Remove programs utility. 

Certain components of the new program will be saved to the Windows/System 
directory and the new bar code fonts will be stored in the Windows/Font
directory, no changes however are made to the Autoexec or any area that will
alter the behavour of the system. It WILL BE necessary to restart Windows
after the installation for the new font to be registered and recognised.
