To install Netfinity* on your system, follow these steps:
1. Select the Install From drive and directory. This is the drive letter
and directory that contains the Netfinity* programs files. The default
drive and directory for this field is the drive and directory from which
the Netfinity* installation program was started. If you want to install
the program files from another directory (for instance, if the files are
available from a network drive), adjust the drive and directory in this
field accordingly.
2. Select the Install To drive and directory. This is the drive letter and
directory name to which the Netfinity* installation program will copy the

information concerning your keywords, consult your network administrator

in the Netfinity* directory, so that you can add them yourself after
installation is complete. Remember, these commands must be present
