- 2). There are two types of tutorials. One is a multimedia tutorial,
- for basic lessons only. The other is a Help System, for basic and

- whole MGC directory.

- is to open File Manager (Windows 3.1) or Explorer (Window 95) and
- double click the .PK file name.
-

- 1. Insert the floppy disk into your drive (for example A:).

- 4. In the directory window, double-click file 'install.exe'.
- The installation will automatically start.
-
- 6). Shareware package un-zip warnings:
-
- If you use pkunzip.exe to un-zip shareware package and did not give
- option -d, you will get warnings, saying install.txt and readme.txt
- exist. You can ignore those warnings. If you give -d option, you
- will get a clean file structure, otherwise, all files are under one
- directory. The program should work either way.
