Route 1                                                             release 4.0
          for Microsoft Windows 3.1
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Welcome to Route 1, the premier shell for Windows.  Route 1 is a button bar to
provide fast access to applications, display information, and to automate
repetitive tasks.  Route 1 sports two clocks, a memory display, eyes that
follow the cursor, SubMenus, a full script language and interpreter, drag-
drop support, sound, event scheduling, and much more.

Here are some brief instructions to get you started.  There is a help file
included with Route 1 that explains all of its features, and how to use them.
I strongly recommend looking over the help file, so that you can take full
advantage of Route 1.  Veteran users please look at "What's new".  It explains
how to access SubMenus, create scripts, and contains useful hints, suggestions
and shortcuts.  Help is accessible through Route1 by pressing [?] in any menu,
dialog box, or Route 1 window.


TO INSTALL ROUTE 1:

     Select Run... from Program Manager's File menu, and type:
                    d: install
     where d: is the disk drive containing the Route1 installation files.

     note:  if INSTALL.EXE fails, open a DOS window, and use ALTSETUP.BAT.


IF YOU ARE A PREVIOUS USER OF ROUTE 1:

     Version 1.x - your Route1.INI is NOT compatible with version 4.0.
     Version 2.x or greater - your Route1.INI IS compatible with version 4.0,
		              and you might want to back it up or rename it
			      before installing the new version, so as not to
			      overwrite it.

     Note:  Make sure that an old copy of Route 1 is not open when you run
     the installation program.  For best results, delete all of the old Route 1
     files, except for any configuration (INI) files, icons and scripts you may
     have created.


TO SETUP ROUTE 1:

     Add Route 1 to a Program Manager or Quick Access group as you would for
any other program, or configure Route 1 to appear when Windows is loaded by
adding its filename and pathname to the lines in WIN.INI starting with Load=
or Run=.
     If you would like Route 1 to be the system shell, start Route 1, and
select Options from the Config menu.  Press  Advanced... , and click the "Make
Route 1 the System Shell", so that it is checked, and press Accept.  To do this
manually, refer to ROUTE1.HLP.  I hope you enjoy and use Route 1.
