NOTE: THE VISUAL BASIC 5.0 RUNTIME FILES ARE REQUIRED TO EXECUTE THIS APPLICATION...
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THEM YOU CAN GET THEM FROM HTTP://WWW.ALASKA.NET/~KIRKENT/VB5RNTM.ZIP

1.0 Installing from multiple disk set archives
This application is available in a number of download formats: Upgrade application,
Full Install, Application Only install, and Run-Time install.  The setup process is
the same no matter which format you are using: unzip the files to a directory and choose 
File...Run from the Windows menu and select Setup.exe, then follow the directions on the
screen.  It is usually a good idea to install the run time files prior to installing the
application files, although this is not a requirement.
