PLEASE NOTE:

        The version of Softcopy Librarian appearing in the 2H2015 
        PDF Collection Kits is still V4.6.

        Support for all Softcopy Librarian versions is obtained 
        by sending concerns, problems or suggestions, via email, 
	    to bookmgr@us.ibm.com. These items are handled on an
	    'as time permits' basis.

		
PLEASE READ: 

		V4.2x or earlier versions are not supported on Microsoft
		Windows Vista or later.
            V4.3 or later is required for support on Microsoft Windows Vista. 
            V4.3 is not supported on Microsoft Windows 7.
            V4.4 (and later) is required for support on Microsoft Windows 7.

		If you have installed V4.2 on Microsoft Windows Vista, you
		will need to uninstall V4.2 before you install
		IBM Softcopy Librarian V4.3 or later.

		When installing on Windows Vista you may receive a message
		from User Account Control.
		You will need to select 'Allow' to continue the
		installation.

		File location changes:
		In IBM Softcopy Librarian V4.3 and later, the sources.fil
		and repository.fil, both now reside in the output directory.

		On Microsoft Windows XP the default directory for these
		files was: 
		    x:\Program Files\IBM\IBM Softcopy Librarian V4\output 
		    where x is the install drive IBM Softcopy Librarian is
		    installed to.

		On Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows 7 the default
		directory for these files is:
            x:\<AppData>\Roaming\IBM\ibm softcopy librarian\output
		    where x is the install drive IBM Softcopy Librarian is
		    installed to.

		By default on Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows 7, the
		Program Files directory is set to read only.
	    	           

		Please be advised that Softcopy Librarian uses 'Passive' FTP.
		Presently Version Softcopy Librarian does not support 'Active' FTP.

		Note that 'shelves' directories with 'book/pdf' directories as sub 
		directories and vice versa, may cause problems with the Softcopy 
		Librarian catalog. We currently do not recommend that your file 
		structure be set up in this manner. Testing is done with directories 
		set up subordinate only to the root or to another directory unrelated 
		to the repositories.


Fixes/Changes in V5.0:

	This is a new version. This version supersedes V4.6.

        collections of Knowledge Center plugins.
        
Limitations in this release:
 
    This release does not yet support local repositories or sources for 
    KnowledgeCenter plugins. Until implemented, only the "internet"

    supported for Knowledge Center plugins.
