General Notes:
This application is in its initial public release state. It has been tested on Visor Prism and POSE (Palm OS Emulator) both running Palm OS v 3.5 and runs w/o any noticeable bugs as of yet. The author makes no guarantee that this application will be backward compatible beyond v3.5 Palm OS however, obviously this application should be just fine with later/new versions of Palm OS.

Auction Butler was written with minimal color graphics to allow for b/w palms users to not have to install a separate version. The graphics used tested fine on my b/w POSE, just obviously not as visually appealing as on the color screens. Color graphics limited to the splash screen and an optional color icon.

v1.3(05-03-03) Added COLOR THEMES! 5 in all to choose from. Minor update to codeset enhance overall performance and compatibility.

v1.2 (02-11-03) Lots of updates! Enhanced graphics, alternating colors for table rows, updated code set and added Startup menu option to allow Reg'd users to bypass the Info... screen if they choose.

v1.01- Added support for beaming auction records to share with other users! Small Bug fixes associated with category editor.

Installation Notes:
To install Auction Butler, one should simply only need to extract the Auction Butler v1.2.zip file that you've download to an empty folder on your computer. Inside this folder are 4 files: license.txt, readme.txt, register.txt and Auction Butler v1.2 Installer.prc. The first three mentioned files are obviously the applications documents which you should read. The last one is the Installer as its name indicates. This file itself is a Palm application so you should only have to double click it to have your HotSync software set it up for installation on your next HotSync session.
