The installer will place the SAVEit Plug-in file into the "System"

The installer will place the SAVEit Plug-in file into the
"FileMaker Extensions" folder located in your FileMaker Pro 4.x/5.x
directory. If you have a previous version of SAVEit installed, the
installer will overwrite it. The next time you open FileMaker Pro
the plug-in will automatically be active.

SAVEit History:

-- 8-16-2000 SAVEit 1.5 Released (Mac and Win)
    This version changes the way the "body" of the text file is
      assigned. Instead of taking the text in the "Save" and
      "Append" functions, it uses "BodyAssign" and "BodyAppend"
      in the same fashion as SMTPit.

-- 6-14-99  SAVEit 1.2 (Win) Released to the public


Known Issues:

-- Macintosh: When the Configuration Dialog is open, if you drag the
dialog over a FileMaker database, the FileMaker Database will not
always be redrawn. We are attempting to fix this. Work arounds include
not draging the Configuation Dialog, or after closing, you can collapse
and re-expand the window, or hide and re-show the window.
