Setup

The setup program will try to setup to C:\PGPSHELL.  The PGP Windows Shell executable is named PGPSHELL.EXE.  There is a DOS base shell for PGP that is also named PGPSHELL.EXE so be careful if you also have this DOS shell.

Setup from Download

Full Version

The download version may come in many different flavors since I cannot control how people upload it to BBSs and on line services.
The download version I post comes as a self-extracting, zipped file.  To unzip the setup routine, copy the pgpshlzp.exe to a temporary directory and run it.  After the file unzips itself, follow the directions below except run setup from the temporary directory instead of the floppy drive.

Upgrade

The upgrade download I post comes as a self-extracting, zipped file.  To install it, run PGPSHEL2.EXE and copy PGPSHELL.EXE over the old version and move PGP.HLP into the same directory.  PGPSHEL2.EXE also includes this manual. 

Setup from Floppy

Both

The setup program will run and ask you for the directory you want to install to.  Accept the default or type in another directory.
The program will copy the necessary files to your hard disk.  Some files will go into the directory you type in above, some will go to you WINDOWS\SYSTEMS directories.

The setup program will then create a program icon for the program, PGP.HLP and MANUAL.RTF.
