*** READ Readme.FIRST.txt FIRST (Funny sentence ;-) ***

The files in this ZIP file are the NewsMerge "rolling beta".

It is called "rolling beta" because it is a snapshot of NewsMerge's state
in the development process. It has fixed some issues in the officially
release version and also offers (lots) of new features. However, it is
not an official release, so only the latest build is supported. The intension
of the rolling beta is to provide feedback on quickly changing issues, so
expect it to change quickly and re-check this file before doing testing.

This release has undergone NONE of our standard stability tests. New releases
are posted when we think a (small) development step is completed. However, with
these releases funny things might happen and we encourage you to try it in
a test environment, only. No matter what you do, do it at your own risk.
Adiscon accepts no liability for any result of using this software.

INSTALLATION

The rolling beta expects a previously installed NewsMerge 1.3.

To update it,

- make backup copies of your current installation
- make an additional backup copy of your database ;-)
- unzip all files
- copy them to the NewsMerge program directory
- have fun...

Problem reports are happily expected at support@adiscon.com
