Thank you for evaluating DMMW's Credit Card Validation Java Component.

This is an evaluation (demo) package.  The Java Component being distributed
is a modified version from the actual commercial product.  Only VISA
credit cards are recognized in this demo.  In the full commercial
product all of the major credit cards are recognized.

Usage
-----

You should be familiar with Java in order to use this component.  I will
assume that your SDK is installed and running correctly.  The commands
I give below work with Java 1.3 in Windows (you may have to adjust them 
for your version and/or operating system).

To run the standalone application:
	java -jar CreditCardDemo.jar

	Notes:	do not un-jar this package

To run the simple example program:
	java ConsoleTest <cardNumber>

	Notes:  <cardnumber> needs quotes (") if you are passing it a number
		with spaces or hyphens.  Quotes are NOT needed if it is composed
		of digits only.

To create you own test:
	- create a java source file that calls the constructor and methods
	  in CreditCard.class (use CreditCard.txt to view all the available
	  methods in this demo version of CreditCard.class - you may also
	  view the javadocs for the full featured commercial version
          in the support area of http://products.dmmw.com)
	- You do NOT need to import the class CreditCard as long as it is in
	  the same directory as you newly created source file (and if your
	  CLASSPATH has the current directory in it.
	- Compile your source code and run the program.
