Installing the Evaluation Version
Released: June 1993
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Special Note Regarding CD-ROM Installation
The files on your CD-ROM are not compressed, so you can see the
look of a program right from the CD-ROM by typing the program's
.EXE name at the DOS prompt. You will not be able to save any
files you create in this manner, however. To do that, you must
install the program to a floppy or a hard drive. It is recommended
that you install this program to a floppy disk if you wish to test
it thoroughly. That way, the files you create can be copied to
your hard disk should you decide to keep it later on.
You can install Read More from your CD-ROM to a floppy disk, test
it as thoroughly as you like, and then if you decide to keep it,
you can install it to your hard disk by running the Install found
on your floppy disk, just as if the floppy disk were a distribution
disk. Install will copy over all of Read More's files and if
you've created any data files, it will notify you and ask if you
want those copied over as well.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
- Hardware and software requirements -
IBM or compatible PC with 512K RAM
Requires 260 Kb of disk space
Read More can be run from a hard or a floppy disk
DOS version 3.3 or later
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Sincerely,
John L. Salisbury
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation from the CD-ROM
From Read More's CD-ROM directory, type:
install
Install will ask for one or two items:
1 the target drive, and
2 the target directory (if copying to a hard disk)
If you install Read More to a floppy disk, you will not be
asked for a target directory.
Please remember that you cannot install to a CD-ROM.
After specifying the drive (and directory, in the event you're
installing to a hard drive), Install will ask if you need to make
any changes. If you need to change an entry, press <Y> or the up
arrow.
---------------------------
Install offers \MYREALM as the default directory. You can change
it to your liking of course, but it is recommended that all of My
Little Realm's programs be put in the same directory.
If you give Install the name of a directory that already exists, it
will put Read More into that existing directory.
Warning: You should only put Read More into a directory with other
My Little Realm programs. They are made to interact properly. If
Read More is your first MLR program, you should put it into its own
directory.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Printing the Documentation
To print Read More's documentation, go to the Read More directory
(MYREALM is used as an example) and direct the printout of
READMORE.TXT to the printer using the "> PRN" option as shown
below. Be sure your printer is on.
---------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------
1 | go to MYREALM directory | CD\MYREALM <enter>
2 | print documentation | TYPE READMORE.TXT > PRN <enter>
---------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Printing an Order Form
To print an order form, go to your Read More directory and direct
the printout of REGISTER.TXT to the printer using the "> PRN"
option as shown below. Be sure your printer is on.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Step | English directions | DOS commands
---------------------------------------------------------------
1 | go to MYREALM directory | CD\MYREALM <enter>
2 | print order form | TYPE REGISTER.TXT > PRN <enter>
---------------------------------------------------------------
You can also print an order form by pressing <$>, the dollar sign,
in the Options Window of Read More.
