                             PERSONAL NUMEROLOGIST


                   INSTALLATION AND QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS



       INTRODUCTON

       This easy-to-use shareware program produces in-depth personality
       reports based on your name and birth date. Professional looking
       reports run 6 to 8 pages and reveal the most intimate traits and
       desires for yourself, friends, family, lovers and even co-workers.
       The program uses an advanced technique to integrate all related
       numbers, similar to what a professional numerologist does in a
       personal reading. By going beyond the simple "cookbook" approach
       used by other programs, reports are surprisingly accurate and
       relevant.

       Each report includes detailed descriptions of the Life Path,
       Expression, Soul Urge, Birthday, Master Numbers, Repeated Numbers,
       Karmic Debts, Karmic and Modified Karmic Lessons and Intensity
       Points. The program is the work of Matthew Oliver Goodwin, the
       highly respected numerologist and author of the definitive,
       "Numerology: The Complete Guide." An earlier version of Personal
       Numerologist was offered in the Selective Software catalog.

       INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

       The Personal Numerologist program consists of about 33 files that
       are shipped in compressed format. NUMROLGY.EXE is the self-
       extracting file that contains these files. (The file PACKING.LST
       contains a complete listing of the contents of NUMROLOGY.EXE.) In


                                        1



       addition, the following documentation files should be separately
       included on the distribution disk:

            README                 Installation and quick start text file
            README.BAT             Batch file to print README file
            PNMANUAL.DOC           Complete program documentation file
            PNMANUAL.BAT           Batch file to print manual
            PRODUCTS.DOC           Product catalog text file
            PRODUCTS.BAT           Batch file to print product catalog
            VENDOR.DOC             Distribution information text file
            PACKING.LST            Text file listing all required files

       NOTE:  If you obtained this program through a BBS, it was probably
              in ZIP format as NUMROLGY.ZIP. In this case, there is no
              NUMROLGY.EXE file, as all the files contained in
              NUMROLGY.EXE plus the above documentation files are in
              NUMROLGY.ZIP instead. The PACKING.LST file gives a complete
              list of the files you should have received after UNZIPPING
              this file.

              In the following instructions, substitute NUMROLGY.ZIP
              where NUMROLGY.EXE is shown. Also, use PKUNZIP to
              decompress this file, as NUMROLGY.ZIP is not self-
              extracting. Since the documentation files are already a
              part of NUMROLGY.ZIP, ignor the following statements about
              copying the documentation files.

       Before you can use Personal Numerologist, it is necessary to
       perform the following simple steps to decompress the program files
       and make a working copy.

       Hard Disk Systems

       1. Make PN sub-directory, then go to it by entering the following
          DOS commands:

            MD \PN

          then

            CD \PN

       2. Copy the self-extracting file from the distribution diskette to
          the PN sub-directory:

            COPY A:NUMROLGY.EXE C:\PN

          where C: can be changed to the actual hard disk drive you are
          copying the file to if it is different than drive C:.

       3. From the PN sub-directory, run the self-extracting file to
          decompress the program files:


                                        2




             NUMROLGY

          (When you execute NUMROLGY, a screen of information giving a
          summary of the installation process will appear. Just press Y
          to start the decompression process.)

       4. Once all the files have been decompressed, the NUMROLGY.EXE
          file can be deleted from the hard disk:

            DEL NUMROLGY.EXE

       5. Copy the document files from the distribution diskette:

            COPY A:PNMANUAL.* C:\PN

          then

            COPY A:PRODUCTS.* C:\PN

       6. You are now ready to run Personal Numerologist by entering the
          following command from the DOS prompt:

            PN

          The first time you run Personal Numerologist answer Y to the
          first program prompt:

            Do you want INSTRUCTIONS (Y/N)?

          This will give you enough information to successfully use the
          program without reading the manual. When you are ready, the
          manual will provide additional information that may be helpful.


       720KB Or Larger Floppy Disk Only Systems

       1. Put the distribution disk with the NUMROLGY.EXE file in drive A
          and a blank, formatted floppy in drive B.

       2. Make a working copy of the distribution disk by entering the
          following DOS command:

            COPY A:*.* B:

       3. Remove the distribution disk from drive A and move the newly
          copied disk from drive B to drive A.

       4. Now, run the self-extracting file to decompress the program
          files. From DOS, enter:

             NUMROLGY


                                        3




          (When you execute NUMROLGY, a screen of information giving a
          summary of the installation process will appear. Just press Y
          to start the decompression process.)

       5. You are now ready to run Personal Numerologist. Enter the
          following command from the DOS prompt:

            PN

          The first time you run Personal Numerologist answer Y to the
          first program prompt:

            Do you want INSTRUCTIONS (Y/N)?

          This will give you enough information to successfully use the
          program without reading the manual. When you are ready, the
          manual will provide additional information that may be helpful.


       360KB Floppy Disk Only Systems

       1. Put the distribution disk with the NUMROLGY.EXE file in drive A
          and a blank, formatted floppy in drive B.

       2. Go to drive B by entering the following DOS command from drive
          A:

             B:

       3. From drive B, run the self-extracting file to decompress the
          program files:

             A:NUMROLGY

          (When you execute NUMROLGY, a screen of information giving a
          summary of the installation process will appear. Just press Y
          to start the decompression process.)

       4. Put a new, blank, formatted floppy in drive B.

       5. Copy the document files from the distribution diskette:

            COPY A:PNMANUAL.* B:

          then

            COPY A:PRODUCTS.* B:






                                        4



       6. You are now ready to run Personal Numerologist. Put the program
          disk with the decompressed files in drive B and enter the
          following command from the DOS prompt:

            PN

          The first time you run Personal Numerologist answer Y to the
          first program prompt:

            Do you want INSTRUCTIONS (Y/N)?

          This will give you enough information to successfully use the
          program without reading the manual. When you are ready, the
          manual will provide additional information that may be helpful.


       SHAREWARE AND HOW IT WORKS

       Personal Numerologist is distributed as a Shareware program.
       Shareware is software which is provided to you on a "try before
       you buy" basis. It is not free software. Shareware authors request
       registration fees from those who try their programs and decide
       they will continue to use them. (Shareware authors do not receive
       payments from disk vendors or BBSs from which you may have
       acquired the program diskettes or downloaded the files.) Because
       Shareware authors do not have to pay the high cost of advertising,
       the fees they charge for registration are modest in comparison to
       commerically available programs.

       With Personal Numerologist you have the convenience of trying out
       the complete program to decide if you want to keep it. This is not
       a crippled or demo copy, but the complete working version of the
       program. Only if you are satisfied and continue to use the program
       do you need to pay for it. You are encouraged to copy the Personal
       Numerologist diskette and share it freely with others.

       After you have used Personal Numerologist for a reasonable
       evaluation period (not to exceed 60 days) you must either stop
       using it or buy a registered copy from Widening Horizons. The
       registered copy costs $39 (U.S. funds) plus $5 shipping/handling
       for U.S. and Canada and $10 shipping/handling for all other
       countries.

       When you register Personal Numerologist, you get the following
       valuable benefits:

       o  The most current version of Personal Numerologist containing
          the latest features that have been added.
       o  An additional module for doing Yearly Forecasts -- the
          significant influences that affect you each year.
       o  A complete 42 page, typeset and bound manual.
