===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
This package contains the PUT/GET/INSTALL (TM) compression, archive, and
intallation utilities by MicroFox Company. This document contains only
a brief description of the package and its features, along with
instructions for its installation. Quite detailed documentation is
included in the package, but it is in archived form, and is more easily
read after installation.
If you've ever wished you could compress/decompress, archive/unarchive,
your files or create an installation utility for your own programs,
then PUT/GET/INSTALL is the program for you...
PUT/GET/INSTALL is a shareware program. This evaluation version
includes all features of the program, and is not crippled in any way.
You may use it for up to 30 days, without charge (see PUT.DOC, GET.DOC,
or INSTALL.DOC for more details). If you like the program, and wish to
continue its use after this evaluation period, you are required to pay
for the program (see REGISTER.DOC for more details). Any fee you may
have paid to others (disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to obtain this
evaluation version was a fee for their copying and distribution
services, rather than a payment for continued use of the program.

===== Installation =====================================
The installation procedure for PUT/GET/INSTALL is quite simple. The
package includes a program, "INSTALL.EXE", which automates the
entire process. You will need about 150K of available disk space
on the hard drive on which you plan to install PUT/GET/INSTALL.
The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
PUT/GET/INSTALL.
INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
o Place the PUT/GET/INSTALL distribution diskette in the
appropriate diskette drive.
o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program on the distribution diskette.
For example, if the distribution diskette is on drive A:, type
the MS-DOS command, "a:install".
o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
the PUT/GET/INSTALL files to that directory. If you so direct it,
the installation program will install executable programs and
documentation in other directories of your choice. It will make
no other changes; specifically, it will not modify your
autoexec.bat or config.sys files.
INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
If you downloaded PUT/GET/INSTALL from a BBS (or received it in the form
of archive files from some other source), you will need to perform the
following steps.
o Extract the contents of the archive file(s) in a temporary
directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this
varies, depending on the form in which you received the package.
In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means
that you already have the necessary tools and knowledge to
perform this step. If not, you should be able to obtain
directions for this from the same source from which you received
the package.
o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program which you have extracted. For
example, if the temporary directory into which you have extracted
the PUT/GET/INSTALL package is C:\TEMPDIR, you would execute the
MS-DOS command, "c:\tempdir\install".
o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
the PUT/GET/INSTALL files to that directory. If you so direct it,
the installation program will install executable programs and
documentation in other directories of your choice. It will make
no other changes; specifically, it will not modify your
autoexec.bat or config.sys files.
When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed PUT/GET/INSTALL
(C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
YOU'RE READY TO GO
Once you've completed the installation, you should consult the documents
(filename extension "doc") which have been installed. In particular,
read the PUT.DOC, GET.DOC, and INSTALL.DOC files. Those documents will
tell you how to invoke the program, and will give you other information
you need to properly evaluate PUT/GET/INSTALL. We hope you enjoy the
programs.
