======================== DOCUMENTATION =========================

Tom Rettig's Library comes with electronic documentation in a
special edition of Tom Rettig's HELP, pop-up quick reference
software designed specifically to document high-level languages
like Dbase and language extensions like this Library.

domain. The .TRH format and all parts of the TRLHELP.EXE Reader
are copyrighted and licensed to permit unlimited distribution.

========================= INSTALLATION =========================

Both the Library and its electronic documentation come on a single
diskette or downloadable TRL4CL.ZIP file containing these files:
