Prop File Manager V1.02 
****************************

This utility was designed for use with THE PALACE chat
client. The purpose of this application is to simplify
the storage and retrieval of prop files without the 
headache of knowing/remembering where these files are 
located. This application is pretty much self explanitory,
but there are a few things that must be covered:
**<see release updates for information of changes from previous
versions.>**

 * NEVER load or save prop files while the client is 
   operational in the Windows environment. This is a sure
   way of getting corrupt prop files.

 * Once you "Load" a prop file it will automatically be
   installed and renamed into the proper directory so the 
   client can use the file. It's a good idea to save the
   existing prop file when prompted to before the "Load",
   once the "Load" is completed the existing file is lost.

 * This version can be installed into any directory/sub 
   you wish. This is a fix from earlier versions. Although,
   for for greater ease of use, do not install into the same
   directory that your palace.prp file is located. The application
   seems to run better on some systems from drive:\Program Files\PFM

 * Upon initial application startup, you MUST set the path
   to the file: palace.prp . This file is usually located 
   in: c:\palace\  although some systems may vary.

                ****RELEASE UPDATES****

 * Setting path to your palace files has been made easier by
   using a directory tree.

 * Under the Options menu, Disable Safety Requests were added. This
   disables ALL prompts, so by selecting this you have no way out
   of a selected operation.

 * Visual reminder of state of safety requests added to the main 
   program window.

 * Removed 16 bit and 32 bit palace clients. Pfm now only works with
   palace clients named "Palace32.exe".

 * Added Rename feature to rename any saved prp file.

 * Added improved error handlers.

 * PFM now detects palace running and aborts any load or save functions
   until palace is closed. This function removes any runtime errors
   associated with this.

 * Added tool tips. Pausing the mouse over any control results in a 
   brief description of what that control does.
