===== Installation =====================================
NFL Forecaster's setup program makes NO changes to your autoexec.bat,
config.sys, or win.ini files and it does not change your PATH statement
(or any other environmental variable). Therefore, you can uninstall
Forecaster simply by deleting the various Forecaster files (see on-line
help section "Uninstalling").
Do not install NFL Forecaster for Windows in the same directory as NFL
Forecaster for DOS.
Setup will correctly install Forecaster from one drive and/or directory
to another (that is, for example, from a:\ to c:\forecast or from c:\temp
to c:\sports or from c:\forecast to c:\forecast).
Use the Windows Program Manager or File Manager's "File/Run" command to
execute Forecaster's setup program. A description of each step the setup
program takes is contained in setup's on-line help. At setup's main
window, press the Help button. The setup program's on-line help also
contains a complete list of files, their functions and locations, and
error message explanations.
Run Forecaster by double-clicking on its icon or by using Windows
Program Manager's "File/Run" command.
===== Warranty =========================================
The author believes that NFL Forecaster is able to do what its
documentation says it can do. Every good-faith effort has been made to
remove "bugs" from the program and to make the user aware of its
limitations. However, it is mathematically impossible to prove a
computer program correct. Therefore, users of NFL Forecaster must accept
this disclaimer of warranty: NFL FORECASTER IS SUPPLIED AS IS. TO THE
MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE AUTHOR DISCLAIMS ALL
WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND OF FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. NEITHER
THE AUTHOR NOR ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN THE CREATION,
PRODUCTION, OR DELIVERY OF THIS SOFTWARE SHALL BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY
DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOSS OF PROFIT, DATA OR OTHER SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR SIMILAR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF
THIS PROGRAM.

prohibited, except as authorized by the terms of this agreement. The NFL
