INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR CAM

CAM doesn't require a full Windows installation.  It runs 
without the use of the Windows registry and it doesn't 
build any files outside of the specific directory that the 
program resides in.  There is no ADWARE or any automatic 
updating features to worry about.  For updates, either 
check the webpage, or sign up for notifications with an 
email to cam@bbcyber.com, requesting to be put on the 
update notice list.

CAM Requirements
1.  Microsoft dot NET Framework version 3.5 or later.  CAM
is programmed in the Visual "C" Sharp dot NET and requires
the library of functions in the Framework to operate.

Updates -- All updates to the CAM software, including any new
membership data CSV files will be provided as an update EXE 
file, downloaded from the CAM web page.  These updates will 
automatically update your files.  

Each time that the membership data file is updated on the 
CWops website, there are usually a few days before additional 
members join.  After a new member joins, the a new file named, 
"MemberDataAddOn.csv" will be available on the developer's 
website, "http://www.bbcyber.com/CAM".  You can download that
update and copy it to the DataFiles folder.  There is no need 
remove a previous update file, just copy over it, replacing it.
Restart CAM and the new data will be read-in and shown at the 
top of the CAM window, just after the DB version number and it
will show a notation that the file has been updated.
