        TAYLORED SOFTWARE'S VISUAL BASIC WIZARD FOR WINDOWS 3.1.
     *************************************************************


  Your copy of TAYLORED SOFTWARE'S VISUAL BASIC WIZARD VERSION 1.20.01 was
painstakenly assembled and written by myself and TAYLORED SOFTWARE using a
vast amount of time, effort and research. It was  written and compiled in
MICROSOFT'S  VISUAL BASIC VERSION  3.0 and took over ( 7 ) months to complete
the full and total program as you now see it.

  It was created as a companion and aid to you the visual basic programmer
and as an aid for using MICROSOFT'S Visual Basic 3.0 for windows 3.1 in an
exacting programming environment.

  It can be used with visual basic up and running or as a full stand alone
program to perform the many features and functions as detailed throught out
these its programs and program help files.

  Unless the copy you are using is designated as a SHAREWARE VERSION 1.20.05
copy It is to be used by you and you alone on ( 1 ) one computer system as
fully detailed in the copyright notice a self contained part of this help file
and the shrink wrap license agreement and document furnished as a text file
and as part of the program. 

  This agreement which is entered into between you the user of VISUAL BASIC
WIZARD and TAYLORED SOFTWARE,  and which is and will be considered to be a
full legal and binding agreement between  both parties,  is included and a
part of your VISUAL BASIC WIZARD program package.


  With the release of Version 1.20.10 of the VISUAL BASIC WIZARD which by the
way contains many numerous programs and many additional functions including the
programs scrooling TOOLBAR not contained in the original Version 1.10.10 now
comes the advent of the future release of Version 1.30.10  which I hope will
be available for full and unrestricted distribution to you by the late winter
of 1995 or possibly the spring of 1995.

  Version 1.30.10 will have several new features and several new and exciting
enhancements to some of the versitile existing functions and features contained
within Version 1.20 which is this release.

 In fact there are several features listed in the registration help that are
not included in the SHAREWARE VERSION,  if you are using it,  but are included
in the full registered version that you may wish to purchase as soon as you are
able to do so.

   Further information about and concerning these new and exciting enhancement's,
functions and features will be forthcomming at a later publication date.

    The full registered version of  VISUAL BASIC WIZARD Contains fifty eight
( 58 )  seperate programs and/or functions. Several of these ( 58 ) programs
and/or functions are used for maintaining database files on the various VISUAL
BASIC WIZARD programs and/or functions and others are completely self contained
program and/or functions that perform many varied visual basic and other
related processes,  tasks and procedures.

   Many of these ( 58 ) programs and/or functions are used mostly for
