the end of the command.
5. Follow the installation prompts on the screen for Full or
Custom.
6. After the installation is complete, start Windows.

Remote Access Server C:\REACHOUT\RASERVER.EXE C:\REACHOUT
If Version 5.X
1. Edit the PROGMAN.INI file in the Windows directory
2. In the [Groups] section of the PROGMAN.INI file, add the
entry "groupX=c:\Reachout\Reachout.grp", where X is one
number higher than the highest number listed in any other
"groupX=" statements.
3. In the [Settings] section of the PROGMAN.INI file, add the
number used in X above to the ôorder=ô line.
4. Restart Windows for the change to take effect.
If the computer does not have a 3.5" 1.44 floppy drive
1. Go to any other computer that has a 3.5" 1.44meg drive and a
drive like the one where you wish to install ReachOut. This
is usually a 5.25" drive.
2. Create a temporary directory called RO on the computer.
3. Copy all files from the installation diskettes to the RO
directory.
4. Copy the files from the RO directory to the diskettes that
can be read on the target computer. Keep in mind that only
so many files will fit on each diskette. But it does not
matter in which order they appear on these diskettes.
5. On the target computer where you are installing ReachOut,
create a temporary directory called RO.
6. Copy all the files from the diskettes in step 4 to the RO
directory.
7. From the RO directory run "INSTALL."
8. After a successful installation, delete the RO directories
from all computers.
