Perfect Weapon(TM) PC DEMO README
==============================

NOTE: To keep the file size down this demo does not 
      contain sound.  

Installation
=-=-=-=-=-=-
This is a no sound demo and can be used on machines without 
direct X(TM) and/or a sound card.  The demo game requires 
approximately 25 Megs.  The installation requires another 20 
megs as it consists of an executable which extracts to a 
temporary setup directory.  

Steps:

- Copy the demo EXE file to your hard drive.  (~11 Megs)
  You should copy the file to a unique directory as it's contents 
  will be discarded after the install.
    (ie: make a c:\PWtemp directory.  
         This can be done by right clicking on the c: drive using 
         your Explorer or My Computer utilities.  Then select 
         new->folder from the pulldown menu supplied by the utility. )

- Double click on the demo file (in the temporary directory) and it will 
  extract into the setup files that you need to install the demo.
  If a black console window is left after the extraction process, you can 
  close it.
  This will depend on your system settings and may not be necessary.
 
- The final step is to double click on the setup.exe file which is created 
  from the demo extraction.  When the install asks you where you would like 
  to install the game to, specify a location other than the temp directory 
  which you copyied the original files to.  (ie: The defaults are fine)

- You may erase the temporary directory (~20 Megs) from your hard drive 
  after the install.

- The game is entered into your start menu (as is an uninstall program).

Notes: 
 - (Installation can require only 10 Megs if you delete the demo.exe after 
    it extracts into the proper setup files)
