INSTALLING Win$ 1.3:
--------------------
Win$ 1.3 is supplied ready-to-use on a diskette. If you are not 
going to install it on a hard disk, you can start working with Win$
right now.

To start Win$ from a diskette:
------------------------------

1)	If not already running Microsoft Windows, start Windows.

2)	Place the Win$ diskette into a floppy drive A or B.

3)	Select the File | Run menu option of the Program Manager
	or File Manager, and type into the dialog box:
		A:Win$	[ or B:Win$ ]
	and press Enter (or click OK button).

   	You can also double-click the name win$.exe in a list of 
	files of the File Manager when displaying the contents
	of the corresponding floppy disk.

To install Win$ on a hard drive:
--------------------------------
1)	If not already running Microsoft Windows, start Windows.

2) 	Place the Win$ diskette into a floppy drive A or B.

3)	Select the File|Run menu option of the Program Manager
	or File Manager, and type into the dialog box:
		A:install	[ or B:install ]
	and press Enter (or click OK button).

4) 	The installation program will prompt you for any additional
   	information needed.

5)	The installation program will copy all the neccessary files
	to a specified directory on your hard disk and create 
	the program group 'Win$1.3'. To start Win$ installed in 
	this way, you will need to double-click the icon of the
	program.

If the automatic installation fails by any reason,
you can install Win$ manually:
------------------------------
1)	Create a directory on your hard disk for Win$.

2)	Copy the following files from the diskette into that directory:

		win$.exe
		win$.hlp

3)	Copy the file ctl3d.dll from the diskette into the SYSTEM 
	directory of Windows (usually it is C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM).
	See also the note about ctl3d.dll below.

Note about using ctl3d.dll library.
----------------------------------
The file ctl3d.dll is not neccesary for running Win$.exe. When started, 
Win$ searches for this file in its sturtup directory, in the SYSTEM
directory, and in the WINDOWS directory, in this order. If Win$ finds 
this file, it uses it. Otherwize, Win$ works without the use of ctl3d.dll.

Unavalability of ctl3d.dll does not influence the performance of the Win$
software. ctl3d.dll is used only when forming the appearance of the 
program on the screen.

If you need a help:
-------------------

Hints:
------
    
Take a look at menu Options from the System Menu of the Win$ program
(to open the System Menu just press and release Alt key when Win$ 
window is active, and then press Enter OR click the box in the upper-left
corner of the Win$ window)

1)	Always-On-Top option allows Win$ to remain on top of other 
	Windows applications. It won't be necessary to move other 
	windows around in order to find the calculator on your desktop.

2)	Fixed-decimal option allows you to see only two decimal digits
	when displaying the results of financial calculations.

3)	Allow Multiple Solutions option allows you to examine financial
	problems that have more than one possible solution.

4)	Register is Clipboard option allows you to exchange the information
	between Win$ and other applications with simple, single-button 
	operations.
