- Yes, this is what I had to do with mine. However, BookReader for example,
- needs to be installed with the install program because things need to be
- added to your config.sys. Otherwise the stupid thing dies on startup and
- doesn't tell you whats wrong! (well, actually it does, but what it tells
- you is wrong, even more frustrating!)

- I just copied over everyhing in /install /ez2inst and the install script
- and then ran it, worked fine then.
