Gadami 1.6 Readme
===================

Gadami is designed to fill a void in the IT tools space: The need for periodic summaries and reports of data in corporate databases.  Gadami lets an IT administrator configure and test these very quickly.

Software requirements: 

	a) Make sure you have a recent version of Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC).  MDAC 2.8 is the latest version as of this writing.  This can be downloaded here: http://www.microsoft.com/data.

	b) You must install the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 before running Gadami (This is already installed if you are running Windows 2003 Server).  The Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable Package can be downloaded here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=262D25E3-F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3&displaylang=en.

Program operation:

	a) Gadami does not require any installation.  Merely unzip the package.

	b) There are two executables: Gadami.exe and GadamiCmd.exe.  Gadami.exe must be run at least once to read and accept the program's license agreement.  Gadami.exe includes a user interface to setup and test your data tasks.  GadamiCmd.exe is intended to automate the program via a batch file or directly from some scheduling system like Task Scheduler.  You will need to register your copy of Gadami before using GadamiCmd.exe.

	c) The Gadami exe's take emails.xml as input.  This file must be present in the same directory as the exe's.  As of version 1.1 it is no longer necessary to manually edit this file.  All settings can be specified by right-clicking nodes in the tree on the left on the main page brought up by Gadami.  Details on what is expected in each field is available in the online help by clicking a dialog box's question mark in the upper right corner and then the field in question.

Registering brings several benefits: 

	a) The 'Generated by Gadami' and 'Kripsoft' lines will no longer appear on emails and Excel spreadsheets.
	
	b) Gadami.exe will not pause with a message box every time the process is run.
	
	c) The 10 email limit will be lifted.  Visit http://www.kripsoft.com for registration instructions.

Thank you for using Gadami.
