-

- to pay for the program (see online help for more details). Any fee you
- may have paid to others (disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to obtain this
- evaluation version was a fee for their copying and distribution
- services, rather than a payment for continued use of the program.

- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- The installation procedure for Z & Z Dots is quite simple. The
- package includes a program, "INSTALL.EXE", which automates the
- entire process. You will need about 4 Meg of available disk space
- on the hard drive on which you plan to install Z & Z Dots.
-
- The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
- Z & Z Dots.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
-
- To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
-
- o Place Z & Z Dots distribution diskette or CD in the appropriate
- drive.
-
- o Select the File, Run command from the program manager to execute
- the "INSTALL.EXE" program on the distribution diskette. For
- example, if the distribution diskette is on drive A:, type the
- command, "a:install" in the dialog box.
-
- o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
- You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
- are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
- program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
- the Z & Z Dots files to that directory. It will make no other
- changes; specifically, it will not modify your autoexec.bat or
- config.sys files.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
-
- If you downloaded Z & Z Dots from the Internet or a BBS (or received it
- in the form of archive files from some other source), you will need to
- perform the following steps.
-
- o Extract the contents of the archive file(s) in a temporary
- directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this
- varies, depending on the form in which you received the package.
- In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means
- that you already have the necessary tools and knowledge to
- perform this step. If not, you should be able to obtain
- directions for this from the same source from which you received
- the package.
-
- o Select the File, Run command from the Windows program manager to
- execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program which you have extracted. For
- example, if the temporary directory into which you have extracted
- the Z & Z Dots package is C:\TEMPDIR, you would type
- "c:\tempdir\install" in the dialog box.
-
- o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
- You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
- are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
- program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
- the Z & Z Dots files to that directory. It will make no
- other changes; specifically, it will not modify your autoexec.bat
- or config.sys files.
-
- When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
- delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed <product>
- (C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
-
-
- YOU'RE READY TO GO
-
- Once you've complete the installation, you should run the program and
- consult the online documentation (press the F1 key) as necessary. The
- documentation will give you information you need to properly evaluate
- Z & Z Dots. We hope you enjoy the program.
