+This scripts will require some knowledge of PHP and MySQL.  
+
+Requirements:
+- Good knowledge of PHP and MySQL

+- This was tested with PHP 5.1.2, mySQL 5.0.18, Firefox2, and IE7
+
+How to install:
+1. Unzip VNSBsquares_v40.zip script to your local computer. 
+2. Change data in config.inc.php to reflect your mySQL data and rename it to config.php
+3. Create a database in your MySQL as in config.php

+6. Upload all files to your web server.
+
+
+Usage:
+1. On your browser, type "www.yourdomain.com/superbowl" or wherever you uploaded the files
+2. Click on any "AVAILABLE" squares to make the selection.  Click "Submit" when all squares are selected.
+3. Emails will be send to the Admin and the user when selection is made.
+
+
+Administrator:
+1. Use "www.yourdomain.com/superbowl/admin.php" to approve/confirm each selected square.

+===================== CHANGES FROM 2.0 to 3.0 =================================
+
+Bugs fixed:
+1. In generals, it's much more user/admin friendly.  Clean up a lot of coding styles.
+2. The square will be locked when the first person select it.  This will eliminate the problem 
+   with two persons register for the same square at the approximate same time.
+3. Selected squares cannot be override by some sneaky person by direct access to the square
+   via the URL.  (Don't worry if you don't know what this mean).   
+4. Admin only required to login once instead of verifying admin email and password each confirmation.
+5. Random number selection is now require login.
+
+===================== CHANGES FROM 3.0 to 4.0 =================================
+1.  Move superbowl logo to the database for easy change each year
+2.  User will be able to make multiple picks before enter information
+3.  Removed Admin link from user pages
+
+===================== CHANGES FROM 4.0 to 4.1 =================================
