        3) Type  "INSTALL  to:"  where:
                 to:  is the drive-ID of the hard drive that you will
                 be installing EVERLOCK to.

             into the EVERLOCK\V333 folder on drive-C.

WHAT'S NEW IN THIS RELEASE:


WINDOWS NT/2K/XP SUPPORT DROPPED

    We have spent an incredible amount of time trying to add support
    for Windows NT/2K/XP.  However, most of EVERLOCK's 16-bit architecture
    was designed for DOS in 1986.  We have decided that it is just not
    feasible to modify this legacy design for Windows NT/2K/XP and still
    maintain the reliability and security that our Customers demand.
    EVERLOCK will continue to support DOS, Windows 3.1x, Windows 9x and
    Windows Millennium.


FAST COMPUTERS ARE NO LONGER A PROBLEM

    The most commonly reported problem with older versions of EVERLOCK
    has been Error Codes 7155-xxxx-1113 or 7155-xxxx-2113 due to running on
    fast computers.  This has been fixed.  We have successfully tested the
    programs of this upgrade under DOS 6.22, Windows 3.11, 9x and Millennium.
    We tested with various AMD and Intel processors up to and including a
    Pentium 4 running at 2.0 GHz.


COMPLETE BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY WAS MAINTAINED

    All backward compatibility with v3.21 was maintained so you can
    easily start using this upgrade without changing anything.  This means
    that Authorization and Options files created with this release will be
    in  the same format as v3.21.

    Evbuild.exe, v3.31 and v3.32, did not create Options file in the
    v3.21 format.  If you have created v3.31 or v3.32 Options files,
    you can change them back to v3.21 by opening them with the latest
    Evbuild.exe and then pressing <F9>.  They will be saved in the
    v3.21 format.


SYSTEM TIME CHANGES NO LONGER BREAK INSTALLED AUTHORIZATION

    Twice per year, Windows updates the system clock to account for
    daylight savings time.  In earlier versions of EVERLOCK, this would
    invalidate the installed Authorization.  This has been fixed in this
    upgrade.


NO MORE ERRORS FROM ANTI-VIRUS BIOS OR UTILITIES

    Running an EVERLOCK protected program on a computer with an anti-virus
    BIOS or utility would cause Error Code 7155-xxxx-0213.  This error
    has been eliminated because EVERLOCK no longer reads/writes the Boot
    sector in order to determine if a diskette is write-protected.


32-BIT ERROR CODE PROGRAM

    We have replaced the 16-bit Errcode.exe with a 32-bit version.  This
    new version even allows you to attach your own notes and comments to
    each Error Code.


LATEST VERSION IS NOW DOWNLOADABLE

    Evbuild.exe now reads the System Serial Number from your Authorization
    iButton (hardware Lock), so you can now download the latest version of
    the complete EVERLOCK System from our web site at www.az-tech.com.

    Please note that if Evbuild.exe cannot find your Authorization iButton,
    it operates in "Demo Mode".  This is indicated at the top of the screen.


MISC CHANGES

    The Findsib files were renamed to Findsb.dll and Findsb.lib.


FOR USERS OF VERSION 3.10B AND EARLIER

    This version contains all the enhancements in Version 3.21.  If you
    are upgrading from Version 3.10B or earlier, there are a lot of changes
    that took place in Version 3.21 that you need to be aware of.  Please
    download and review the "Ev321.txt" Readme file from out web site at
    www.az-tech.com.
