EPILOGUE
     Suggestions and bug-reports are always welcome. Well ... bug-reports
     are perhaps not *that* welcome ... ;)
     Be sure to run bldlevel on the dll and provide that info in any report.

INSTALL

     Now to install close Vispro Rexx, and just run install.
     The installation program will copy the files

     VPZxText.dll,
     VPZxTexyt.hlp,

     in the Vispro Rexx directory, and modify the vprclass file
     to add it's object to the tools palette of Vispro Rexx.
     For help either run view VPZxText.hlp or access it through
     the help for objects on the Vispro Rexx menu,
     you should see Transparent Text help there.

     Now to use it in a program, you will need to distribute the DLL
     file with your program. That's it.

                     The help files will be improved in a later release.
