INSTALLATION:

This documents all the changes that the Kudo installer makes 
when installing Kudo:

*	Application files are copied to the target directory, 
	typically c:\kudoread

*	The installer searches for the Microsoft OLE 2.0 DLLs 
	on your machine. Three things can happen as a result 
	of this search:

	1) 	If they are found (as the result of someone 
		having installed another OLE 2.0 compliant 
		application), and they are of the same or 
		a newer version as the copies that Kudo is 
		shipped with, then nothing is done.  

	2) 	If they are found but are of an older 
		version than the copies Kudo is shipped with, 
		then the Kudo installer will copy its newer 
		versions over the existing ones, wherever it 
		might find them on your machine.

	3) 	If they are not found, Kudo places new 
		copies of all the OLE 2.0 DLLs into your 
		WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.

The OLE 2.0 DLLs are functionally an extension to the 
Windows 3.1 operating system, and so are effectively not a part 
of Kudo at all.  

This means that, once installed, they are available for all 
applications that support OLE 2.0, and need not be installed 
more than once.  Other OLE 2.0 compliant applications will 
generally observe this convention, and will not duplicate these 
files in their installation if they are already present.  For 
this reason, if you un-install Kudo, it may be risky to remove 
these files unless you are certain there are not other 
applications that rely on them.  

The OLE 2.0 DLLs are:

	ole2.dll
	ole2conv.dll
	ole2disp.dll
	ole2nls.dll
	ole2prox.dll
	compobj.dll
	storage.dll

*	An additional DLL, BWCC.DLL is installed following an 
	identical procedure to the OLE DLLs.  This file fills a 
	support function and is shipped with many applications.

*	The Kudo installer determines if it needs to modify 
	AUTOEXEC.BAT.  You will be prompted before it modifies 
	the file.  If you agree to modification, the line:
	
	SHARE.EXE /L:500 /F:5100

	will be added to AUTOEXEC.BAT.  If there is already a 
	line present that loads SHARE, then that line will be 
	modified to ensure that the /L and /F options are at 
	least as large as the amount that Kudo requires.

*	The Ku-do installer then registers Kudo as an application 
	with Windows, and takes care of registering OLE 2.0 on 
	your machine.  Effectively, this modifies the 
	registration database, REG.DAT, in your windows 
	directory, and indirectly, your WIN.INI file.  It 
	is accomplished by running REGEDIT.EXE with the 
	files OLE2.REG and KUDO.REG, which are installed to 
	your target Kudo directory.  This operation can be 
	repeated manually if REG.DAT ever becomes corrupted, 
	see tech note file "REGEDIT.TXT".

*	It is recommended to install the program in 256 
	colors. In some computers, running in more than 256 
	colors during installation may not create or display 
	all the Kudo Browser categories.  

*	Please register the program by filling out the 
	REGISTER.TXT information found on the CD. To do this, 
	open the above file name using the Notepad application 
	found in Program Manager. Fill in the appropriate 
	information, then print the registration form. 

	Please fax this registration form to (305)569-1350.

KNOWN INSTALLATION PROBLEMS:

Two situations have been observed to cause problems with the 
installer:

1)	Installing to a PC that is configured as a diskless 
	workstation can confuse the installer as to the 
	whereabouts of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  In this 
	situation, the installer generally cannot access 
	your boot drive.  When the installer attempts to 
	modify your autoexec file, it will probably come up 
	with a path to an AUTOEXEC.BAT that doesn't exist, 
	such as A:\AUTOEXEC.BAT. If this happens, you will 
	need to make the modifications yourself. Select the 
	option to NOT have the Kudo installer modify your 
	autoexec file, and then, after the installation is 
	complete, manually add the line:
	
	<path>\SHARE.EXE /L:500 /F:5100

	to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  <path> is the full path 
	to your DOS directory (or wherever SHARE.EXE exists).  
	The /L & /F options are suggested minimums. If you are 
	already loading SHARE in your autoexec, then you only 
	need to ensure that you add the command line options 
	to the SHARE statement.  If the options are already 
	there, and they are larger, then leave them alone. If 
	they are there but are smaller, then use the values 
	suggested here. You will need to reboot your computer 
	for this change to take effect.

2)	Installing to a network version of Windows can cause 
	problems if the user does not have write privileges 
	to some of the Windows directories. The Kudo installer 
	may need to add some DLL's to your current 
	WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.  This directory will often 
	be on a networked drive that is read-only when you are 
	running a network version of Windows.  You will get 
	messages to the effect of "Can't write to file ... due 
	to read-only protection...", etc. This indicates that 
	you will need to have the network supervisor run the
	installation in supervisor mode to obtain proper 
	write access to the necessary directories.
