Installation instructions:


Download the new VetNotes 0.8. The programs are large so 
you may want to download the installer (VetData.pkg) first
and install the data needed by the main program, remove the 
installer and then download the main program (VetNotes.pkg) to try
it out.  


The data installer has 16 word list sets. These are mostly 
empty in version 0.8. The only reason to keep old ones is
you may have edited the lists and want to keep the changes or you
may have created a set of lists of your own. The installer program
will detect the old lists and ask you if you want to keep all of 
them, remove them and install new lists, or install one or more 
list sets individually.  


If you decide you want some of the lists but not all then you will
install them one at a time, overwriting old list sets or unused sets.
You can decide where each set will go in the list of 16 sets that
can be installed. In version 0.8 this is not important. Later 
version will hopefully have significant data to install.

With  "VetNotesLink" you can choose 16 lists sets from whatever
lists you have available and download the ones most useful to your 
practice. You can also create your own lists and download them 
from the Mac application.

To create a fresh installation with new data:

Offload as many unused programs from your Newton as possible. Make
sure you can reinstall them if needed later, but during the
installation you will need as much free memory as possible. Programs
that are installed but not running still use some memory.

Download and launch only the installer program. This is used to
create the demo data and load the word lists available from the
developer. Tap on the top button "Install DEMO animal data".  Do this even
if you don't need the demo data. You can immediately unload that data
if it is of no interest, but the installation is required to set up
the data storage correctly for any data you add later while using the
program. Tap the button "Install word lists". This will take one to
two minutes to load the more than 140 lists. Tap the button "Install
Help System". This will ease the first use of the software. It can be
unloaded at any time to save space in the system. It takes up about
50kbytes on a RAM card. If you get a message that the memory is low
and the Newton needs to be reset, go ahead and reset it and then come
back here and reload the help system. When Help is used by a user, as
soon as you change screens, the Help system memory is recovered. You
can remove the installer application from your Newton.

Download the main program and you are ready to use it. Remember the
built-in help system when you don't know what something is for. Just
tap the "?" button and then tap the unknown object on the screen.
