ABOUT THE FILES ON THIS DISK

Copyright 1994 Michael Fraase/Arts & Farces. All Rights Reserved.

Chances are you're a typical PC user and just because this file is labelled
"ReadMe.txt" doesn't mean much. That's okay, I never read these either.

This disk contains the following four files:

  * INSTALL.TXT Installation and release notes for Minuet and UMSLIP from
    the University of Minnesota.

  * MINUARC.EXE A self-extracting archive containing the University of
    Minnesota's Minuet software for navigating the Internet.

  * SLIPARC.EXE A self-extracting archive containing the University of
    Minnesota's UMSLIP software for establishing a SLIP connection (via
    a SLIP server) to the Internet.

  * README.TXT The text file you're reading now.



HOW TO INSTALL THE SOFTWARE

The software program files--MINUARC.EXE and SLIPARC.EXE--are self-extracting
archives. Use these steps to install them.
NOTE: This installation procedure assumes you're installing to your C: hard
drive from the floppy drive A:. If this is not the case, change the drive
and pathnames accordingly for your configuration.


INSTALLING MINUET
1. At the command prompt, type "mkdir c:\minuet" (without the quote marks)
   and press Enter. The \MINUET\ directory will be created.

2. At the command prompt, type "copy a:\minuarc.exe c:\minuet\minuarc.exe"
   and press Enter. The Minuet archive will be copied to the \MINUET\
   directory on your hard drive.

3. At the command prompt, type "cd\c:\minuet" and press Enter. The current
   directory will change to the \MINUET\ directory.

4. At the command prompt, type "minuarc" and press Enter. The Minuet
   software will be extracted within the \MINUET\ directory.

5. Optionally, at the command prompt, type "del c:\minuet\minuarc.exe"
   and press Enter. The self-extracting Minuet archive will be deleted
   from your hard drive.


INSTALLING UMSLIP
1. At the command prompt, type "mkdir c:\slip" (without the quote marks)
   and press Enter. The \SLIP\ directory will be created.

2. At the command prompt, type "copy a:\sliparc.exe c:\slip\sliparc.exe"
   and press Enter. The UMSLIP archive will be copied to the \SLIP\
   directory on your hard drive.

3. At the command prompt, type "cd\c:\slip" and press Enter. The current
   directory will change to the \SLIP\ directory.

4. At the command prompt, type "sliparc" and press Enter. The UMSLIP
   software will be extracted within the \SLIP\ directory.

5. Optionally, at the command prompt, type "del c:\slip\sliparc.exe"
   and press Enter. The self-extracting UMSLIP archive will be deleted
   from your hard drive.


MODIFYING YOUR AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE
1. Add the \MINUET\ directory to the appropriate PATH statement in your
   AUTOEXEC.BAT file (e.g., PATH = C:\MINUET).

2. Add the \SLIP\ directory to the appropriate PATH statement in your
   AUTOEXEC.BAT file (e.g., PATH = C:\SLIP).


IMPORTANT NOTES
UMSLIP and Minuet are shareware programs and are provided with The PC
Internet Tour Guide for evaluation purposes only. If you continue to
use the software after the evaluation period, you are required to
