Installing News-Mgr is quite simple...
* Make a directory called News-Mgr (well, the name doesn't matter :-))
* UnARJ or Unzip your official package.
* Run 'NSETUP.EXE' and answer the questions...
* Edit the NEWS-MGR.TXT file using the standard keywords
(see the section 'KEY-WORDS' in this document)
