Emerald 4.5
-----------

Emerald 4.5 is a maintenance release that includes new features and
enhancements.  All customers who purchased Emerald on or after 
5/5/2002 can use/upgrade to Emerald 4.5 w/out any additional 
requirements.  Those customers who have a current support contract 
can contact sales to receive a free 4.5 key to enable 4.5 to work 
with thier existing keys and MBRs.  All other customers should 
contact sales to purchase a maintenance key before upgrading to 
Emerald 4.5.  Without an Emerald 4.5 maintenance key, you will not
be able to change any data if you upgrade your installation.

       | If you have replication enabled on your primary Emerald DB
       | then you MUST remove all replication and publications
PLEASE | associated to the Emerald database and all objects within
 NOTE: | the Emerald database before running the upgrade.  If you do
       | not, the database updates for Emerald 4.5 will fail and your
       | Emerald 4.5 installation will not work correctly.
       | 
       | After you install Emerald 4.5 on an existing Emerald 4.x
       | system, it is highly recommended that you initially run the
       | web server in debug mode to verify the upgrade completes
       | w/out an error.  To do this, open a command prompt and change
       | to your Emerald directory.  Then run the following command:
       | 
       |    emerwebsrv -debug
       | 
       | You should see a lot of lines scroll by (the update).  When
       | it finishes scrolling you should see the last line containing
       |
       |   ... Emerald Database Upgrade completed sucessfully.
       | 
       | If you do not see that as your last line (ie, you received an
       | error, please copy the last screen and paste it in an email to
       | support@iea-software.com.  Once the upgrade is complete, press
       | control-c to stop the debug mode and restart the services.
