 1.0 INSTALLING THE PRODUCT
-------------------------------
 
 The utility requires no "installation process", but rather is just an executable. 
 Simply double click the self extracting executable to unzip the program into a
 directory of your choice, or if you have the win-zipped version, simply unzip it
 to a directory of your choice. From there you can execute the utility.

--------------------------
 1.1 Compatibility
--------------------------

 The SuperPro Medic is designed to work on all Win32 operating systems. They include
 Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT4, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.


---------------------------------
 2.0 What's New in This Release?
---------------------------------

 The SuperPro Medic 6.3.0 has many new features. They are:

 1. The Medic is built on SuperPro 6.3.0 libraries and so now supports the new MODE
    functionality. It can search based on RNBO_STANDALONE, RNBO_SPN_DRIVER, RNBO_SPN_LOCAL,
    RNBO_SPN_BROADCAST, RNBO_SPN_ALL_MODES, and RNBO_SPN_SERVER_MODE, as well as by 
    machine name or IP address.

 2. Support for standalone and network testing. This tests for driver only installations,
    as well as network implementations.

 3. This version now supports English, French, German, and Spanish. All displayed text
    and messages are localized into these 4 languages 
 
--------------------
 2.1 Problems Fixed
--------------------

 1. The Medic is now capable of finding all keys on a system regardless of form factor
    or if they are on different ports.

 2. The Medic now supports IPX/SPX and NetBEUI, as well as TCP/IP.

----------------------------
 3.0 How to Use the Utility
----------------------------

 The SuperPro Medic utility is a simple GUI (Graphical User Interface) that attempts to
 find SuperPro keys on a system or on a network. 
 
 To find all the keys on a system, Drop down the "Server name/IP or mode" box and select
 "STANDALONE". This searches the local system for all keys attached via the system driver
 only. "LOCAL" searches for all the keys on a local system via the locally running 
 SuperPro Server.

 To find all of the keys running on the network, do the same as before, only now select
 "NETWORK". This will do a broadcast over the entire viewable subnet, and report back the
 number of keys found in total. To find SuperPros on a specific machine over the network,
 specify the IP address or machine name in the "Server name/IP or mode" box.

 Once you have made your search type selection, simply press the "Find SuperPro" button.

---------------------
 3.1 Other Functions
---------------------

 The SuperPro Medic not only attempts to find the keys but also tells you why it was, or
 was not able to find the keys. In addition, there are other functions the utility has
 to help search and diagnose a system. They are:
 
 Medic Says: This button provides a text message explaining the results of the test.

 Get Server List: Under the Tools menu, this function will search the network for all
	SuperPro Servers on the subnet. The servers are placed int the "Server name/IP 
	or mode" drop down list for selection later when doing specific machine searches.

 Display Session Info: This function, also in the tools menu, will display the results of 
	the test in a summary format in a notepad text file.

 Developer Mode: This allows developers to specify their Developer ID so they can skip over
	other SuperPro keys that may also be on the system or network and force the utility
	to search for their key only. This function is in the Tools menu.

 Set Language: With this function you can manually change the Localization to one of the 
	specified languages. They are English, French, German, and Spanish. It too is in 
	the Tools menu.

 Set Protocol: Although most will use TCP/IP which is the default. If you are using a 
	IPX/SPX, NetBEUI, or SAP network, you can set the protocol to your needs. This
	function is located under the Tools menu.

 Rainbow Technical Support: The utility also can take you to the Rainbow Technologies
	Support page. Here would either enter the Customer Connection Center (c3) if
	you are a Direct Rainbow Technologies' customer. If you are an end user, you 
	can access the End User Support page from this location as well.

--------------------
 4.0 Known Problems
--------------------

 In order to change languages, the utility is required to restart. By doing this it will
 automatically re-center itself rather than re-launch where it was located last.

-------------------------
 5.0 WHERE TO GO NEXT?
-------------------------

 If the SuperPro Medic is unable to help you resolve the issue, or determine the cause of 
 the problem. Contact your software provider, or go to http://www.rainbow.com/support, for
 more information. If you are a direct Rainbow Technologies' customer, you can log into
 the Customer Connection Center (c3), or you can enter the End User support page for more
 information.
