My Little Realm, v2.5
Records of the Realm
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 Records of the Realm 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 Record of the
Realm'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
Records of the Realm can be run from a hard
or a floppy disk

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation from the CD-ROM
From Records of the Realm'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 Records of the Realm 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 Records of the Realm into that existing directory.
Warning: You should only put Records of the Realm into a directory
with other My Little Realm programs. They are made to interact
properly. If Records of the Realm is your first MLR program, you
should put it into its own directory.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Printing the Documentation
To print Records of the Realm's documentation, go to the Records of
the Realm directory (MYREALM is used as an example) and direct the
