SYSLIB 2.42
===========
Sys$Lib 2.42 is an application library or application framework which is 
needed by the following applications:
- BioGraf 2.4
- TimeLog 1.2
- Convert 1.3
- Filer 1.0
- DBCalc 1.0

This library is a general purpose application frame to provide:
* Message and extensive keyboard handling
* Configuration file reading/writing
* File/Database handling
* Window/Output handling (zooming in/out, font selection, status window size
  handling, border selection)
* On-screen editing
* Database indexing and indexed/sorted output
* Ressource management
* Online help (based on Tom Dolbilin's online help)
* Database field formatting
* Standard configuration dialog handling
* 'bring' server and client routines

INSTALLATION:
-------------
- Copy the file Sys$lib2.opo to any \opo directory
- Copy the file Sys$edt2.opo to the same \opo directory
- Copy the file Sys$hlp2.opo to the same \opo directory (can be omitted)
- Copy the files Sys$01.rsc (for english language) or
  Sys$03.rsc (for german language) to a \opd directory on the same drive

UPGRADING:
----------
If you have used the very first version of Sys$lib (Sys$lib1.opo) this older
version can be removed as well as the Sys$01.res and Sys$03.res files. The
