Private Library

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 Private Library 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 Private Library'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
Requires 240 Kb of disk space

Installation from the CD-ROM
From Private Library'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 Private Library 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 Private Library into that existing directory.
Warning: You should only put Private Library into a directory with
other My Little Realm programs. They are made to interact
properly. If Private Library is your first MLR program, you should
put it into its own directory.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
