═══ 1. About Validator Installation ═══

The Validator Installation program allows you to install the application and 
its support files to your system. 

You will be presented with two dialogues:  one for the source drive and one for 
the target drive and directories for where the application is to be stored. 

You can in either dialogue, change the default values to suit your own 
requirements.  If you enter a new place to store the application or the default 
locations do no exist on your system, the locations will be created 
automatically for you. 

When more than one disk is in the distribution package, you will be asked to 
insert the appropriately labeled disk at the time it is required. 

The Validator Installation program will also create for you a new folder for 
the applications if you request it.  It will also add the applications to the 
folder as well.
