			  MERLIN FAQ V1.34 Beta For Win95
			------------------------------

Well maybe we can have a llitle FAQ here to support the top chart questions
about Merlin. I have to excuse myself but it has become a bit difficult to
replay personally, every mail I receive , demanding support.

So I  plan to include here some of the most usual questions about Merlin.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Merlin will ( with time) become shareware. But for now it is just a beta
  under test. I do'nt want to  make it commercial, because i has still a lot
  of work to be done. I never planned to make a general launch of Merlin , just
  to spread some copies to check your opinions and suggestions ( I encourage you
  to mail me with bugs, improvememts, or ideas about)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Last version on (13 jan 96) is V1.34 Beta for win 95. Merlin is not tested
  with windows 3.11. I am writting Merlin under win 95. 

  I promise that Merlin   will also run under win 3.1x , because I'm writting it
  with Visual Basic 4, 16 bits, it can be easilly recompiled under windows 3.1x.
  I have Tried it yet and it works , but I can not support two versions for now,
  so I will not release separated versions today. 

  You still have a chance to run Merlin with windows 3.11 yet . I received a mail
  from Chris van Oijen, describing the problem & solution :

Hi Juan Carlos,

I managed to download Merlin from the WWW-site in South Africa by using a
X-windows terminal. It turned out that the program didn't work with Windows
3.11. The reason for this is that Merlin uses OLE 2.01. Windows 3.11
installs OLE 2.0, so you see the problem.

The next step is to browse at the Microsoft site. I have found an
installation program to install OLE 2.03. After downloading and installing
Merlin worked fine with Windows 3.11.

To make sure everyone can work with Merlin, I think it is wise to put the
OLE 2.03-installation program on the same site as Merlin. The file is about
800K. Let me know where I can put and how.....
