INSTALLATION OF ZIPPER PAYROLL, VERSION 1.7 

   Installation of ZIPPER Payroll involves three steps.  These steps should 
   be performed in the order listed below.  

   ************************************************************************** 
   ZIPPER PAYROLL MUST BE RUN FROM A HARD DISK DRIVE.  IF YOUR COMPUTER DOES 
      NOT HAVE A HARD DISK DRIVE, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE THIS PROGRAM. 
   ************************************************************************** 

   You should have at least two megabytes (2.5 MB) of space available on your 
   hard disk.  After ZIPPER Payroll is installed you can reclaim some of this 
   disk space (see the README.DOC file, "Reclaiming Disk Space").  The ZIPPER 
   Payroll data files will continue to grow as you process payroll, so two 
   megabytes should be considered a reasonable minimum. 


   Step 1.  CREATE A ZIPPER DIRECTORY ON YOUR HARD DISK DRIVE. 
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   
   You need to create a DOS directory to hold the various program and data 
   files (see list below) that make up the ZIPPER Payroll program.  If you 
   are unsure about how this is done, see your DOS User's Manual. 

   Example:  Start by selecting a name for this DOS directory.  We recommend
   the name ZIPPER.  Assuming you want to install ZIPPER Payroll on your C
   Drive, at the DOS prompt type: "MD C:\ZIPPER".  (Do not enter the quotes).
   The DOS command MD (Make Directory) will create a directory named ZIPPER
   on your C Disk Drive.


   Step 2.  COPY ZIPPER FILES TO YOUR HARD DISK DRIVE. 
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Insert either of the ZIPPER Payroll program diskettes (3-1/2" diskette 
   users receive only one diskette) in the floppy disk drive you wish to use, 
   and enter the command: 

                              COPY A:*.* C:\ZIPPER

   where "A:" represents the floppy drive you are installing from, and
   "C:\ZIPPER" represents the Drive and directory (that you created in step
   #1) where you want to install ZIPPER Payroll.

   After DOS has copied the files contained on the first diskette, repeat
   this process for the other ZIPPER Payroll program disk.  It does not make
   any difference in which order the diskettes are copied.



   Step 3.  UNARCHIVE ZIPPER PROGRAM FILES. 
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

   All ZIPPER Payroll program, data, and documentation files, other then the
   file you are now reading, are contained in the self-extracting compressed 
   files ZPACK117.EXE and ZPACK217.EXE.  These files should now be located in 
   the directory you defined in Step 1.  You need to uncompress these files 
   before you can use ZIPPER Payroll.  To do this you need to be in the 
   ZIPPER Payroll directory.

    NOTE:  ZIPPER Payroll has be archived by SOFTCRAFT into the self-
    extracting archive files ZPACK117.EXE and ZPACK217.EXE, or the "zipped" 
    file ZPACK17.ZIP (in the case of Electronic BBS's), using the file 
    compression utility PKZIP, Ver. 2.04G, from PKWARE, Inc.  SOFTCRAFT 
    utilizes a special "Authenticity Verification" feature included with 
    PKZIP to insure that the files you receive have not been altered or 
    tampered with.  After all of the files have been unarchived, your screen 
    will display the following message: 
   
    Authentic Files Verified!   # SXT512 
    SOFTCRAFT 

    Below this appears the Copyright by SOFTCRAFT for ZIPPER Payroll, and the 
    address and phone numbers for SOFTCRAFT.  If the "Authentic Files 
    Verified!   # SXT512" does not appear, you have received a program that 
    may have been altered.  You should report this to SOFTCRAFT, and return 
    the program to the vendor from which it was obtained. 

   ########################################################################## 


   Assuming you have created this directory on your C Drive, first "log on"
   to this drive by entering the command (no quotes) "C:". You should now be
   "logged-on" to the C drive (or whatever drive you selected).  Now enter
   the command (no quotes) "CD \ZIPPER" where "ZIPPER" is the directory name 
   you selected in Step  1.  The DOS command CD (Change Directory) will move 
   you ("log on") to the ZIPPER Payroll directory. 

   To unpack (decompress) ZIPPER Payroll, enter (no quotes) "ZPACK117".  When 
   the unpacking process is finished, enter (no quotes) "ZPACK217".  This 
   will repeat the process for the second archived file. 
   
   ************************************************************************** 
     YOU MAY NOW ERASE THE TWO FILES ZPACK117.EXE AND ZPACK217.EXE (OR ANY 
   .ZIP FILES). THESE FILES ARE NO LONGER NEEDED AND ONLY TAKE UP DISK SPACE. 
   ************************************************************************** 

   Verify that you have ALL program and data files.  The list of files is 
   contained in the disk file FILES.DOC. 

   Be sure to read the README.DOC file.  There is important information in
   this file about late changes in the ZIPPER Payroll program that have not
   been included in the users manual, ZIPPER.DOC.  Of particular attention
   should be the changes to the Employee Year-To-Date record and data entry 
   screen, and pension plans.  If your company uses Pension Plans (401(k)), 
   and/or savings plans, then the information in the README.DOC file will be
   very important.  Read this material carefully.  This new feature provides
   a considerable amount of flexability.
