.PREFACE.....: What To Do If This Documentation Seems Too Overwhelming
.ALIAS.......: TOOMUCH!
.DISCUSSION..:
As Fdate has grown in functionality over the years, its documentation has also grown. Lately I've been getting feedback from people who encounter Fdate for the first time, telling me that Fdate's documentation is so massive that it is overwhelming: they have no idea where to start, or how to use the documentation to help them figure out how to make Fdate do what they need to do.

If that is the situation you're in right now, take heart! There is hope!

To help you get started using Fdate, I've created a much shorter file called FDATEBEG.TXT (FDATE beginners documentation), which shows how to use Fdate to do the things most users want to do.

So if you're trying to use Fdate for the first time, and feeling overwhelmed (or even if you're not feeling overwhelmed), I suggest that you read FDATEBEG.TXT.
