+1. What is the Sequence Updater
+-------------------------------
+
+The Sequence updater is written to synchronize your PowerAdmin/DNS database 
+after you have manually inserted records into it. 
+
+2. Why do I need that?
+-------------------------------
+
+Because PowerAdmin uses the php-PEAR::DB library it is using sequence numbers. 
+A sequence number simply tells the application what will be the next ID 
+for insertion. Some of the mysql users are now shouting auto_increment.
+Yes auto_increment, but we cant use this here because we plan to use 
+PostGreSQL or Other db's that dont have auto_increment so we are stuck to
+using sequence numbers.
+
+3. What does this mean?
+-------------------------------
+
+This means that if you dont run this tool after you have been manually adding
+records, your database might be corrupted and PowerAdmin might be kicking
+you back with a lot of errors.
+
+4. Ok, I got it, now what?
+-------------------------------
+
+Put this file in your PowerAdmin directory. Login into PowerAdmin using the normal
+system. Now go to the url where you put it and done, the sequence numbers are
+updated.
+
+5. Future versions
+-------------------------------
+
+In all versions higher than 1.1.2 this function will be automatically there for
+administrators.
