README.TXT for
Truckbase SPS V3.2 Release                   April 2, 2003
----------------------------------------------------------

HOW TO INSTALL
--------------

Uninstall any previous versions of the Truckbase(r) SPS program
by running the Add/Remove Programs applet in Control Panel.

Because all files that were created in the Truckbase(r) SPS program
directories do not get removed during the uninstall feature, it 
is strongly suggested that the "C:\Program Files\Truckbase\SPS"
directory and all files and subfolders within the directory are 
deleted before proceeding with any new install of the program.
Errors may result if this directory is not deleted because data 
may be in the wrong format for the new program.

Once all previous versions of the program and its directories
have been removed, install this new version of the program by
double-clicking on the "Setup.exe" icon on the CD.  The setup
program will lead you step by step through the procedure.
After the setup is completed, re-start your computer.

NEW FEATURES FROM VERSION 3.1
-----------------------------------

 1.	Productivity Reports: Treated Area Analysis,
	Time Class Analysis, and Speed Graph reports have 
	been added to aid in assessing the productivity of the 
	work performed.
 2.	Project settings changes can be applied immediately 
	without having to close and re-open the project.
 3.	GPS Point animation - re-create the path the machine
	has taken.
 4.	Ability to merge separate treated areas together into
	one treated area using the fill tool.
 5.	The shapefile created by the export of a GPS Paths layer
	can now be successfully edited in ArcView.
 6.	A "contractor name" field has been added for display on the
	reports.  Enter a contractor name, if desired, in
	the default or project settings to utilize it.
 7.	Replaced the old print preview window with a new preview --
	a number of print-preview related problems should be solved.
 8.	The order of the columns in the GPS Data window are
	now saved.  If their order is changed, the columns will
	appear in the same order when the program is re-started.
 9.	Several memory leaks repaired.
10.	Operating Area Report and Treated Area Report - now able to
      specify a projection for maps.  You may set a default
      projection for your maps in your default settings (File>>
      Default Settings) and/or project settings (Project>>Settings)
	under the "Report Settings" sheet.
11.   Compatibility for NTFS-formatted drives.
12.   "Selective Buffering" option: when using the buffer
      tool to create a treated area, SPS can be set up not
      to buffer the machinery's GPS path if it is travelling
      above a specfied speed threshold for longer than a 
      specified period of time.
13.   Ability to view an attribute field from a map layer as a
      label on the map (right-click on the layer's entry in
      the map layer window and select "Change Label Field" to
      choose the attribute field to display).
