Warning! Upgrade from SuperMemo 8/98 to SuperMemo 99 is irreversible!
Please create a back up of all your collections!!!

After the upgrade, use File : Repair collection with Basic recovery checked. This will compute new A-Factor distributions. Without recovery, you may get Wrong A-Factor distribution errors (these are not harmful to your learning process)

To understand the concept of reading lists see: Reading the Internet

SuperMemo 99 Help in CHM format is also available for download. Place it in your bin folder to use it with SuperMemo 99 and press F1 in SuperMemo
