======================
1. System Requirements
======================

*  Personal Computer running Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows NT 3.51
   or later
*  1 MB free disk space on the disk drive where Netscape Navigator
   2.0 is installed.
*  1 MB additional free disk space on the disk drive where Microsoft
   Windows is installed, to be used temporarily by the Install
   program.
*  Netscape Navigator 2.0 


===============
2. Installation
===============

1. Make sure that the Netscape Navigator 2.0 is NOT running.

2. Find SETUP.EXE in Windows Explorer or the File Manager, and
double-click it to run it.  Doing this unpacks the program files and
launches the Setup program, which installs EarthTime Plug-in and then
deletes the temporary files it created.

3. Follow the step-by-step prompts until the finish.

Installation creates a shortcut on your desktop called EarthTime
Plug-in.

NOTE: Running Internet Time Synchronizer on Windows 95 requires that
you have installed TCP/IP and Dial Up Networking.


=====================
3. Starting EarthTime 
=====================

After installation, double-click the desktop icon labeled EarthTime
Plug-in, or choose EarthTime Plug-in from the Windows 95 Start 
Menu | Programs | EarthTime Plug-in. In Windows NT, find the
EarthTime Plug-in icon in the EarthTime program group, and
double-click it.

The first time you run EarthTime Plug-in, you see the Settings
dialog, where you identify your Home City (where you live) and your
current Local City (where you are now located -- often the same as
your Home City). These cities will appear in the EarthTime display
with icons identifying them as Home and Local cities.  

EarthTime assumes your current system time is correct for the
Local City you select, and that you have selected the correct time
zone in the Windows 95 Date/Time Control Panel.

We recommend launching only one instance of EarthTime Plug-in at a
time.

To view a description of the EarthTime Plug-in, open the Windows 95
Start Menu and choose Programs | EarthTime Plug-in | EarthTime
Introduction. You will see a document that describes the EarthTime
Plug-in and provides a hotlink to launch it.

There are two additional ways you can launch EarthTime from Netscape
Navigator 2.0:

*  Choose File | Open File.  In the Files Of Type list box, choose 
EarthTime (*.ETC).  Open the file called EARTHTIM.ETC, which is
located in the folder called
Program Files\Netscape\Navigator\Program\Plugins\EarthTime.

*  Choose File | Open File. In the Files Of Type list box, choose 
Source (*.htm).  Choose the EARTHTIM.HTM file, located in the folder
called Program Files\Netscape\Navigator\Program\Plugins\EarthTime.
You will see a document that includes a link to launch EarthTime.

NOTE: If you attempt any of these steps to launch EarthTime and you 
end up viewing the EARTHTIM.ETC document, it means that Netscape was
running when you installed EarthTime. To solve the problem, simply
shut down the Netscape Navigator, and restart the EarthTime Plug-in.


======================
4. Summary of Features
======================

EarthTime Plug-in for Netscape Navigator 2.0 lets you monitor time in
eight world cities simultaneously. It also includes a US - SI
(metric) conversion utility, and a Time Synchronizer that updates
your system clock from Internet timer servers. The online help
describes the program features and explains how to use them. To see
the online help, right-click a city panel and choose Help from the
menu.  The online Help also includes frequently asked questions, with
answers.

NOTES: 

1. Internet Time Synchronizer is not supported by Windows NT 3.51,
which does not include software libraries required to run Internet
Time Synchronizer.

2. Display of graphic images, including some EarthTime Help topics,
can cause the EarthTime display to flash if you are using a 256-color
video driver.  For more information, refer to the Navigator Help
system:  click the Help menu at the top of the Navigator window,
choose Release Notes, and click Known Problems and Bugs.

3. Changing Local City under Windows NT 3.51: After changing the
Local City, you need to specify the time zone, as explained in the
online Help.  If you are using Windows NT 3.51, the Control Panel
window opens.  Double-click the Date/Time icon, and choose the
appropriate time zone from the drop-down list.
