README FILE FOR K8045 SOFTWARE 
==============================


DISCLAIMER : This software is supplied 'as-is'.
No guarantees are made, no responsabilities are taken.
Use it at your own risk.


WHAT :  This software allows you (that is, if you have a PC compatible computer with RS232 serial port and some common sense) to type in messages on your PC, and send them to the K8045.  You can also store them for later use.  You do not have to use this software.  An ordinary terminal program will do fine.  If you do not have a terminal program, there's plenty of them available on the net, for free (please do not ask us any web addresses, use a search engine instead).  Please check the K8045 manual for terminal settings.


WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO KNOW:
Nothing, just give it a try, it is self-explanatory.
If you look carefully, you'll notice that the messages are sent character per character and that there is a small delay between each character.  This delay is necessary because the serial EEPROM is not as fast as the RS232 connection.  If you get all kinds of errors, you've probably forgot to put the supplied .OCX files in the Windows system32 directory.
