Welcome to Rosary v5.1
======================
Have you ever had difficulty remembering which prayers and meditations 
to say when praying the Rosary?  Never more!  With Rosary v5.1 for 
Windows 95 at your side to guide you, praying and remembering the Rosary 
has never been easier!  Rosary v5.1 for Windows 95 is a complete set of 
prayers and mysteries for the Rosary.  Using a graphical interface, 
the program guides you through each of the 5 decades of the Rosary, 
and all prayers and meditations  in between.   It keeps track of which 
of the three sets of mysteries need to be said by the system date, 
but the program also allows you to change the current mystery on the 
fly.

In addition, you can use Rosary v5.1 to keep track of novenas, say 
the "Pro-Life Rosary," and say the "Chaplet of the Divine Mercy" 
(copyright (c), 1993, by Divine Helpers. Permission pending.).  
When you exit the program, Rosary stores the day number of a novena, 
the last prayer said, and any novena intentions you might have 
entered.


Setting up the program
----------------------
1. If you do not already have the files necessary to run Visual 
Basic 5.0 programs, you must first download them from the Internet.  
The files (collectively known as Visual Basic 5.0 Service Pack 3), 
are encased in a ZIP file,  available from one of the following FTP 
sites:
      
	ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/simtelnet/win95/dll/vb5rtsp3.zip
	ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/micro/pc/simtelnet/win95/dll/vb5rtsp3.zip
	ftp://ftp.orst.edu/pub/simtelnet/win95/dll/vb5rtsp3.zip
	ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/win95/dll/vb5rtsp3.zip

My apologies for the inconvenience--there are complications involved 
with distributing VB runtime files.  There is a SETUP program 
contained within the Visual Basic 5.0 Service Pack which will 
automatically install the necessary files in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM 
directory (installs only newer versions of the files).  

To run the setup program, create a temporary directory to receive 
the Visual Basic Service Pack 3 files.  

From DOS:

	md \vb5temp
	cd \vb5temp
	pkunzip vb5rtsp3.zip

From Win95:

	a. Open Windows Explorer
	b. Create a new folder (e.g., "c:\vb5temp")
	c. Use WinZip or PKUNZIP for Windows to unzip vb5rtsp3.zip
	d. Double Click the file SETUP.EXE or use the Control Panels
	   "Install New Software" program. 


2. Create a temp subdirectory for the ROSARY program  (e.g., 
"C:\ROSARY_TMP").
3. Unzip the file ROSARY95.ZIP into this directory.
4. Double-click the file SETUP.EXE or use the Control Panels 
"Install New Software" feature.
