- Each *.EXE file on this disk is a compressed archive that can contain
- a number of files. When one of these *.EXE files is run, it will
- automatically decompress and store files on your hard drive.
-
- NOTE: You need at least 2.8 megabytes of free space on your hard drive
- to install the files from this disk.
-
- Follow these instructions to run the installation program. This program
- will automatically decompress the files you need, and install them on
- your C: hard drive.
-
- 1. You need to be at a DOS prompt. Double-click on the MSDOS
- Prompt icon in Program Manager.
-
- 2. From the DOS prompt, set your default drive to the drive that
- contains the installation disk. For example, if the A: drive
- hold the disk, type A: and press the Enter key.
-
- 3. Type the following and then press the Enter key:
-
- INSTALL drive
-
- ("drive" is the drive letter of your hard drive)
-
- For example, INSTALL C: would install the files to your
- C: hard drive.
-
- This will install all of the files to your hard drive.

- A technical note...
- --------------------

- The compressed files on this disk were created using version 2.13 of
- the LHA utility. They are self-extracting archives, and the files are
- stored with expanded filenames. They will automatically extract to the
- proper directory.
