2) WELCOME
==================================================================================
This document contains important information regarding the installation of
your application.


This document assumes that:
1. You have some basic knowledge of server and MS Access database.
2. You have a web server capable of serving ASP pages.



3) FEATURES
==================================================================================

1)  Unlimited number of quotes
2)  Customizable colors
3)  Customizable quote box size



4) PRESENTATION
==================================================================================
FREEKOT is free tool wich allows you to insert a random quotation system or a quote 
of the day in your website. You will be able to customize the colors of the text and 
background. You can add, modify and delete all quotations in the system.



5) TESTED CONFIGURATION
==================================================================================
Server
  - IIS 5.0
Operation System:
  - Windows 2000 server, Window NT
Browser:
  - Internet Explorer 5.0/5.5/6.0
  - Netscape 4.7,6.0
Database:
  - Microsoft Access 2000



6) INSTALLATION
==================================================================================
The installation process is straightforward and requires only one or two modifications
of the application files. 

You must proceed as follow:

a. The freekot.zip file should be unzipped within your web server hierarchy.
i.e. c:\inetpub\wwwroot\freekot (insure that the folder name does not have spaces in it).
Make sure that you can run ASP scripts and have the appropriate permissions
set up under your host.  You will need either an NT or Windows 2000 Host, or
some way of running Active Server Pages scripts (.asp). 


b. If you want more security for your database connection, you should move the database to another
directory and create a Data Source Name (DSN), or OBDC connection.  You must then change line 7 and 9 
in the file "function.asp" to:
	strMyConn = "Name_dsn"

c. If you want even more security for your database connection you can add a login and password when
creating the DSN. You must the change the line 11 and 12 in the file "function.asp" with:
	strLogin = "mylogin"
	strPassword = "mypassword"

that's it!


7) HOW TO USE THE SYSTEM
==================================================================================
- When you first come to the system go to /freekot/admin.asp

- Then enter your login and password (login:admin password:admin)

- To change the admin user login and password open the database and go to the "user" table.
Then write your new login and password.

- To add a quote click on "Quote Manager" then click on "Add New". Insert the quote and the author.

- You can change the colors by clicking on "Color Manager". Change the hexadecimal code in it. 

- To change the height and the width of the quote box click on "System configuration" and write the new sizes.

- Now insert where you want in your website the quotation system only by using this line:
<!--#include file="freekot/index.asp"-->
You must insert this line in an ASP file which is one folder in front in the hierarchie
ie: if freekot is in "c:\inetpub\www\freekot" then put your file in "c:\inetpub\www\"
