THIS FIELD TEST SOFTWARE EXPIRES ON
FEBRUARY 28, 2000

____________________________
INSTALLING INTERBASE 6 FIELD TEST

Complete installation instructions are in
Chapter 1 of Getting Started.

Windows system requirements: Windows 98, Windows 95
with Service Pack 1 or Windows NT 4.0 with Service
Pack 5. A full install that includes InterBase,
Adobe Acrobat Reader, and the full document set
requires approximately 44MB of disk space. Only
11MB is needed to install the InterBase product
without the Merant connectivity, the documents, or
Acrobat Reader.

You cannot install InterBase onto a network
drive.

____________________________
OLDER VERSIONS OF INTERBASE

It is recommended that you uninstall any
previous versions of InterBase that are
present on the server where you are installing
the InterBase 6 software. With this software,
as with any software, it is recommended to
remove any field test versions prior to
installing. If InterBase 4.1 or earlier or any
Classic InterBase is present on your database
server, you *must* uninstall it before
proceeding with the Version 6 install.

____________________________
GDS32.DLL

There must be one and only one copy of
gds32.dll on the server where InterBase is
running. If gds32.dll exists on the server
because you have previously installed Borland
Database Engine as part of Delphi, C++Builder,
or another Borland product, or because
InterBase 5 or earlier was installed on the
server, you must remove the older gds32.dll
file prior to installing this Field Test.
