Installation: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- PM Patrol requires no device drivers and does NOT modify your CONFIG.SYS. Nor does it copy files into your OS/2 system directories - only its own. The installation process will copy the PM Patrol files to the directory which you specify, and will create a OS/2 desktop folder for PM Patrol. Optionally, you can tell the installation to also create a shadow copy of PM Patrol for the OS/2 Startup folder so PM Patrol starts-up every time you start OS/2. Please be aware that an unregistered copy of PM Patrol, although fully functional, has a run-time limit of 2 hours each time it's run. Upon registration, this limitation is lifted and "nag-screens" are removed. To install PM Patrol: 1. If installing from the PM Patrol distribution diskette, change to the diskette drive (ie.
