ET Helper README File

For a brief description of the ET Helper program, see the 
"What is ET Helper?" topic located in any of the help files
(look below in the subject "Help Documentation" for details
on viewing the program(s) help files.

*** Requirements ***

	This version of ET Helper requires Windows. It also 
	requires the D&D E-Tools product database 
	(Database.mdb) located in the D&D E-Tools install
	folder (normally under "C:\Program Files\
	Wizards of the Coast\eTools\Database").

*** Downloading ***

	You can download the main ET Helper program, along 
	with it's various add-on programs from the program
	developer's (Davin Church) website at 
	"http://www.talisman-games.com/ETHelper".
	
*** Installation ***

	ET Helper is self-configuring and does not require 
	an installer. Simply un-zip ET Helper and all of the 
	modules into any directory of your choosing. All of 
	the modules must be placed in the same directory (but 
	it does not need to be the D&D E-Tools directory 
	itself). 
	
	Note: More extensive help instructions can be found
	in the help files (see below in "Help Documentation" 
	for more details).

*** Latest News ***

	Wizards of the Coast ended their licensing agreement
	with Code Monkey Publishing in 2006.  As a result, the
	E-Tools program is no longer available or supported,
	nor is any of its officially-published data.

	The old ET Helper web site was moved to a new location
	so it can still be made available for those needing to
	download it, but further changes are unlikely.
