========================================================


1.  WHAT'S ON THE CD-ROM

The following versions of ReachOut are included on the 
CD-ROM:

     ReachOut for Windows NT 4.0

     ReachOut Passport

     ReachOut for Windows 95

     ReachOut for Windows & DOS

To install ReachOut from Windows, simply insert the 
CD-ROM and run SETUP from the root folder (for example, 
D:\SETUP). ReachOut Setup automatically detects your 
version of Windows and recommends the appropriate 
version of ReachOut. You will not be able to install a 
version of ReachOut that does not run on your operating 
system.

To install ReachOut for Windows NT, you must be a member 
of the "Administrators" user group or have Administrator 
rights on the Windows NT computer.

If you are running Windows NT or Windows 95, you have 
the option of installing ReachOut Passport for remote 
control from within your Web browser.

To install ReachOut on a DOS-only computer, or to 
install only DOS support, run SETUPDOS from the root 
folder on the CD-ROM.


--------------------------------------------------------


2.  PUTTING REACHOUT ON FLOPPY DISKS

If you want to install ReachOut on a computer that 
doesn't have a CD-ROM drive, you may create one set of 
ReachOut floppy disks for your own installation purposes. 
You may not distribute copies to unlicensed ReachOut 
users or install more copies than are allowed by your 
license agreement.

To create the floppy disks, copy the contents of each 
"DISK" folder on the CD-ROM to a 3.5" high-density floppy 
disk and label the disk appropriately. For example, copy 
all the files in "DISK1" to a floppy disk labeled 
"Disk 1". Then run SETUP (or SETUPDOS) from Disk 1.


--------------------------------------------------------


3.  PASSWORD COMPATIBILITY WITH PREVIOUS VERSIONS

If you plan to make ReachOut connections to Windows NT 
computers from Windows 95 or Windows 3.1x, you should 
update the previous copies of ReachOut to version 7 of 
ReachOut for Windows 95 or ReachOut for Windows & DOS. 
These are both included on the CD-ROM. Be sure you only 
update ReachOut for the same version of Windows, in 
accordance with your license agreement. (For example, if 
a computer has a previous version of ReachOut for 
Windows & DOS already installed, you may install 
version 7 of ReachOut for Windows & DOS on that 
computer, but you may not install ReachOut for 
Windows 95 or ReachOut for Windows NT without purchasing 
an upgrade.)

If you don't update the previous versions, then you must 
define one or more Windows NT user accounts with 
passwords entirely in uppercase letters. Previous 
versions of ReachOut must connect with uppercase 
passwords.


--------------------------------------------------------


4.  BEFORE INSTALLING REACHOUT

If you have any other remote control software on your 
computer, remove it before installing ReachOut.


--------------------------------------------------------


5.  VERSION-SPECIFIC INFORMATION

After you install ReachOut, refer to the README file in 
your ReachOut folder for important information about the 
version of ReachOut you are running.


--------------------------------------------------------


6.  READING THE USER'S GUIDE ONLINE

The USRGUIDE folder on the CD-ROM contains online 
versions of all the ReachOut User's Guides. To view 
these files, you must install Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0, 
which is included in the ACROBAT subfolder of the 
USRGUIDE folder. Be sure to install the correct version:

     * If you are running Windows NT or Windows 95, 
       install Adobe Acrobat Reader from the 32BIT 
       folder.

     * If you are running Windows 3.1 (including 
       Windows for Workgroups), install Adobe Acrobat 
       Reader from the 16BIT folder.

Once you've installed the reader, you can view the 
User's Guides by opening the appropriate file from the 
USRGUIDE folder:

     * ROWINNT.PDF  (ReachOut for Windows NT--
                     includes ReachOut Passport)
     * ROWIN95.PDF  (ReachOut for Windows 95)
     * ROWINDOS.PDF (ReachOut for Windows & DOS)
