____________________________________________________________________________

This document contains information on the latest release (R3) of
Quickbooks Deluxe Version 3.0 for Windows.  This supplements the documentation
and online Help that came with your product.  

INSTALLING THE RELEASE
-----------------------------------
This patchfile will update any release of QuickBooks Deluxe for Windows
Version 3.0 prior to release 3.  To check your release, start QuickBooks,
then press CTRL and 1 at the same time.  The release notes documenting the
changes between releases follow.  This update will update only the US version, 
and will not update the Standard Version or the Trial Version.

!! PLEASE NOTE!!
Before installing the patch, please make sure that QuickBooks is not in the
Task List in Windows 3.1 or the Task Bar in Windows '95.

To update your installation, you will need to obtain the file QBCDR3.ZIP.
Then, you will need to exit Windows or open a DOS prompt. Once in DOS, you i
will need to locate the directory which contains QuickBooks, probably 
C:\QBOOKSW.

This file will then need to be copied to the directory which contains
QuickBooks for Windows Version 3.0, and then uncompressed using PKUNZIP, not
supplied with this patch file.  You will need PKUNZIP.EXE version 2.0g or
above to decompress this file.

Decompressing QBWR8.ZIP will produce the following files:

QBCDR3.BAT
PATCH.EXE
QBCDR3.RTP


Once you have decompressed QBCDR3.ZIP you must run QBCDR3.BAT by typing 
QBCDR3 at the DOS prompt to update your installation.  Note that the updating
process may take some time, so please be patient.  If the updating process
is interupted for any reason, you will need to reinstall QuickBooks before 
you can use it again.


VERIFYING YOUR RELEASE
------------------------------------
While running the Quickbooks program, press  the CTRL and 1 keys at
the same time.  Use the 1 key from the set that runs across the top
of the keyboard, not the one on the numeric keypad.  A Quickbooks
Information screen will pop up, and the release number is listed right
after Version 3.0, and before the colon (:)..

RELEASE NOTES
----------------------
This summarizes what was changed or improved in Release 3 and earlier
releases of Quickbooks Deluxe Version 3.0.  If you experience any of the
symptoms described, verify the release number of your product.  If it
