   ====Installing The ViaBase Icon====	

	How to install your program as an Icon with the 
	Windows' Program Manager.

	1. First install the program in a DOS directory, 
	outside of Windows.

	2. Start up Windows and open the PROGRAM MANAGER.

	3. Click once on the GROUP in which you want the 
	new ViaCommander Icon installed.

	4. Go up to the menu bar at the top of your screen 
	and click on the word FILE.

	5. A menu drops down.  Click on NEW.

	6. You will see a window with two choices.  Select 
	PROGRAM ITEM.  Then click on OKAY.

	7. Another window appears entitled PROGRAM ITEM
	PROPERTIES.

	8. Click in the box labeled DESCRIPTION. Type 
	"ViaCommander".

	9. Use the tab key or mouse and go to the box 
	labeled COMMAND LINE.  Type the full name of the 
	path to the directory where you have installed 
	ViaCommander, and the name VIABASE.EXE. For example,
	if the program is in a directory called VIA on the
	C drive you would enter	C:\VIA\VIABASE.EXE in the 
	box.

	10. Use the TAB key to go to the box labeled WORKING
	DIRECTORY.  Type the name of the directory in which 
	you installed ViaBase.  For example, if you 
	installed the game in a directory called VIA, then 
	type C:\VIA.  

	11. Now click on OKAY in the PROGRAM ITEM PROPERTIES
	Window.

	You should now have the ViaBase Icon installed 
	in your PROGRAM MANAGER. Enjoy the program!




   ====PROGRAM NOTES====
   
   NOTE:
 
   An order form is provided under the file name "ORDER.TXT".
   You can Open this file using Windows Notepad and print it.

   NOTE 2:
   
   This program is written in Visual Basic.  Thus it needs the 
   VBRUN300.DLL (which should be included) to run.  If you got 
   your copy from an on-line service or bulletin board take note:

        Some BBS Sysops remove the VBRUN300.DLL file from Windows
        programs that use it in order to save disk drive space.
        If you are missing the VBRUN300.DLL file, log back on to
        the service or BBS it came from, and, if you can't easily
        find the VBRUN file, leave a comment to your Sysop asking
        how he/she allows people to acquire it.
