What is GATT?

	The Global Agreement on Tarrifs and Trade (1994) is an international
	trade agreement which has been negotiated between most of the 
	nations of the world.  It is being presented to the United States
	Congress for approval under "Fast-Track" procedures.  There has
	been very little public discussion and debate about this wide 
	ranging agreement.  The agreement will establish a very powerful
	independent international organization known as the World Trade
	Organization.  The W.T.O. will have the power to raise funds, 
	rule on the acceptability of national and local laws and regulations,
	and impose fines until "guilty" nations revise their laws.  The
	members will be appointed beaurucrats who have the equivalence of
	diplomatic immunity.

What do I need to run this program?

	1.      IBM PC or compatable, 286 minimum, recommend 386 or 
	better for best performance.

	2.      Microsoft Windows 3.1 or better.

	3.      Approximately 1.5 megabytes of disk space available on
	the system's hard drive for storage of the program files.

	4.      Utility program capable of "unzipping" the ZIP file.
	This file was created with PKZIP version 2.04G.

How do I install this program?

	1. Chose or create a directory on your PC's hard drive.
	Perhaps you should create a new directory specifically for
	"Help Books".....

	2. Use an "unzip" utility to decompress the files contained in 
	this ZIP file into the destination directory.  The files are:

		GATT.EXE        WIN 3.1 executable.
		GATT.HLP        WIN 3.1 Help file.
		README          This file.

	3. Once you have installed the files on your hard drive, start
	Windows.  Use the program manager Files|New menu item to add
	a new program item to a group.  You might first wish to create 
	a new program group specifically for Help Books.  

	When you add the program item, enter the full pathname of the
	executable  file in the Command Line text box.  For example, 
	if you installed the files in a directory called HELPBOOK on
	the C: drive, the Command Line entry should be:

		C:\HELPBOOK\GATT.EXE

	To use the program, just double click on the icon for the GATT
	Guidebook.
