HOW TO START EVERNAME
===================

1. Start MapInfo Professional
2. Select from the main menu "File / Run MapBasic Program..."
3. Find your MapInfo directory (for example C:\MAPINFO) and navigate to "EverName" folder.
4. Select "evername.mbx" in the file selection dialog and click "Open" button.
   This will create a "Tools" menu on the main menu bar.
5. Open a MapInfo's table that contains graphical objects (i.e. points, regions and etc.)
6. Open EverName dialog by selecting "Tools / Label Optimization..." from the main menu.
7. If you plan to use EverName software frequently you may consider using the 
   "Auto Load" feature that will automatically load EverName every time you start MapInfo.
   To set up the "Auto Load" feature, select "Tools / Label Optimization / About" from 
   the main menu. Push the "Auto Load" button located on the bottom of the "About" dialog.
   This will modify your MapInfo settings and the next time that MapInfo starts you won't
   have to load the EverName program manually. 

HOW TO LOCALIZE EVERNAME MENU
==============================

EverName comes with the special menu resource file: menu.txt that contains
set of keywords and corresponding menu text strings. If you want to localize
EverName menu you have to replace menu text strings with translated text and
leave keywords untouched. Here is an example of menu.txt file:

LabelOptimization = Label Optimization
RunLabelOptimization = &Run Label Optimization...
ProductAuthorization = &Product Authorization...
AboutLabelOptimization = &About Label Optimization...
ExitLabelOptimization = &Exit Label Optimization
