Installation:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE TO USERS OF OLDER VERSIONS: If you are using v3.x of Password Corral, you
should NOT uninstall it first before installing this version. Password Corral
v4.0 will not automatically find your old password data since this new version
stores information in the file system instead of the Windows registry. Instead,
install this version to a new directory and use the Migrate feature located
under the Help menu to migrate your data to this new version. Alternately, you
can import your old data using a Password Corral export file. In any case, you
should create an export file of your Password Corral v3.0 data before using
this new version.

To install Password Corral, download and run the PC.EXE setup file.

If you're using the "No Setup" version of Password Corral, simply unzip the
files to the directory of your choice and run PASSWORD4.EXE.


Uninstallation:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To uninstall Password Corral, go to the Control Panel and select
'Add/Remove Programs'. From the resulting dialog box select Password Corral and
click the 'Add/Remove...' button. The software will automatically be removed
from your system.

If you're using the "No Setup" version of Password Corral, simply delete the
directory you extracted the program files to.


Description of features:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Single Repository for Passwords:
Now you can have a single place to store all your passwords. Use a single
password that you choose to encrypt all the passwords you use. Never forget one
again!

* Blowfish and Diamond2 Encryption:
256-bit Blowfish or 128-bit Diamond2 encryption stands between you and those
unscrupulous persons with prying eyes. Unless they know your master password,
they can't see your data.

* Password Information:
Passwords are kept in custom groups that you create, and can be nested within
each other. Each password you store in Password Corral can also have a
description, username, comments, URL and e-mail address, all encrypted just
like your password information. No more forgetting which password went with
which system. This information can be sorted as you like and printed as well.

* Password Generator
Passwords Corral includes a random password generator that allows you to
quickly create a random password of up to 20 characters of numbers, letters or
special charaters. The generator is configurable and allows you to choose how
to generate the password.

* Password Expiration
Any password can be set to expire after a given number of days. Password Corral
will then issue a warning when a password has expired and allow you to change
it at that time. This will help remind you to change your passwords for better
security.

* Multiple Users on the Same PC
Any user of your PC can create a new Password Corral account. The program keeps
track of individual users and their data. Everyone's information is protected
with their own, individual password and encrypted. Note: Password Corral does
not support simultanious use of a single user account by multiple users.

* Password Protect Program Features
You can lock Password Corral and require entry of your master password before
once again using the program. This allows you to keep Password Corral running
all the time and still protect your data while you are away from your PC. You
can set Password Corral to time out to the system tray after a period of time
of system inactivity and protect it there with your master password.

* Hyperlinks in the Comments Field
Any HTTP, FTP or WWW links you place in the comments field for your passwords
automatically become hyperlinks, and clicking on them will start the default
web browser and take you to that site. Hyperlinks in the URL column can also be
clicked.

* Printing:
You can print the currently selected password, all passwords in the selected
group, or your entire password list.

* Flexible Display Options:
You can choose to display information encrypted or in plain text on screen,
choose your own font for the password list and comments field and select a
custom color for hyperlinks.

* Import/Export Passwords
Password Corral can export your password list to a text file easily! Copy the
file to any other PC that has Password Corral, create a new user account for
yourself and then import the passwords. Your passwords will now be available on
the new PC. The text file also makes a handy backup in case of disaster. Import
options are flexible and allow you to merge your existing password list with a
different set of passwords from an export file. An auto-export feature allows
you to create a backup password file each time you exit the program. And as
you'd expect, the export text file is encrypted as well.

* Full On-line help:
Password Corral comes with complete, context sensitive on-line help. Just press
'F1' in any dialog box for specific information.

* Clean, Easy-to-use, Attractive Interface
Password Corral's interface uses the same Windows features you're already used
to. No wild icons, sloppy window layouts, unnecessary buttons or toolbars; just
a clean interface that makes sense, is easy to use and adheres to standard
Windows guidelines.


Known problems in this release:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* If your system is using "large size" fonts (120DPI) some of the dialog boxes
  may not appear correctly. We are aware of this and are working on a solution.

* On-line help is not functional under Windows Vista or Windows 7.
