Released: June 1993
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Special Note Regarding CD-ROM Installation
The files on your CD-ROM are not compressed, so you can see the
look of a program right from the CD-ROM by typing the program's
.EXE name at the DOS prompt. You will not be able to save any
files you create in this manner, however. To do that, you must
install the program to a floppy or a hard drive. It is recommended
that you install this program to a floppy disk if you wish to test
it thoroughly. That way, the files you create can be copied to
your hard disk should you decide to keep it later on.
You can install Checking from your CD-ROM to a floppy disk, test
it as thoroughly as you like, and then if you decide to keep it,
you can install it to your hard disk by running the Install found
on your floppy disk, just as if the floppy disk were a distribution
disk. Install will copy over all of Checking's files, and if
you've created any data files, it will notify you and ask if you
want those copied over as well.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

IBM or compatible PC with 512K RAM

Installation from the CD-ROM
From Checking's CD-ROM directory, type:
install
Install will ask for one or two items:
1 the target drive, and
2 the target directory (if copying to a hard disk)
If you install Checking to a floppy disk, you will not be asked
for a target directory.
Please remember that you cannot install to a CD-ROM.
After specifying the drive (and directory, in the event you're
installing to a hard drive), Install will ask if you need to make
any changes. If you need to change an entry, press <Y> or the up
arrow.
---------------------------
Install offers \MYREALM as the default directory. You can change
it to your liking of course, but it is recommended that all of My
Little Realm's programs be put in the same directory.
If you give Install the name of a directory that already exists, it
will put Checking into that existing directory.
Warning: You should only put Checking into a directory with other
My Little Realm programs. They are made to interact properly. If
Checking is your first MLR program, you should put it into its own
directory.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
