//31oct07. DLL Version 2.3.8.11


Thank you for your interest in CRChart.  We hope you enjoy this fully-functional Evaluation Copy. 
This Evaluation copy includes all the features and functions of both CRChart 3.1 and CRChart Plus.

To Install:

1) Locate your existing Crystal Reports 9.x chart library. 
By default, it is located at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0\bin\sscsdk80.dll

2) Make a back-up copy of this file.

3) Copy our version of the sscsdk80.dll into this directory. That's it!! See the programming manual  
for more details.  Your evaluation copy is fully functional, but it will ALWAYS display some title strings of ours
that make it clear that this is an evaluation product. 

4) IMPORTANT: If you are installing onto a .NET server, you also need to do the following:
	a) Enable the checkbox called "Allow inheritable permissions from parent to propagate this object" 
	which you will find on the SECURITY tab of the sscsdk80.dll Properties dialog. 
	b) Restart the CR .NET server. 

RELEASE NOTES:

1) This version of the library is only compatible with Crystal Reports 9.x products.  It will not work correctly 
in any earlier version of Crystal Reports. It has been updated to the April 2007 Hotfix level. 

2) The manual has been completely updated as of Oct 31th, 2007. There are over 20 new macros for you to use and enjoy.
