- From Windows 95's "Start" button, choose "Run".  Then type "INSTALL" (and the path if necessary.  The "path" is the location of INSTALL.EXE file on your disk drive.)

3) The INSTALL program will copy the necessary files to your Windows directory.

4) Once the INSTALL program is complete, you may wish to delete the following files from the installation directory or disk:

INSTALL.INF

Frequently asked questions

Q: Do you have available any other Bible translations besides the King James version?

A: Currently we do not have any other translations besides the King James.  If some charitable soul would be interested in providing the blood, sweat and labor to create an alternative translation Bible verse file, please contact the author by email to volunteer your services.

Q: A friend of mine does not have Windows.  Is Frontlets available for MS-DOS?

A: Yes, we do have a MS-DOS version of Frontlets.  You may obtain an evaluation copy for The Mustard Seed BBS.

Q: Is Frontlets free?

A: Frontlets is shareware.  Shareware is NOT freeware.  Shareware is a "try before you buy" software marketing concept that allows the user to obtain fully functional copies  of programs for evaluation.  The distribution and copying fee that you may have paid to obtain this disk does not cover the cost of the software contained on this disk.  Shareware programs such as the one that you have obtained require separate payment to the author if it is found to be a useful product and if it is used beyond a reasonable evaluation period.

Q: How do I uninstall Frontlets?

A: Frontlets may not be for everyone, therefore it is possible that you may wish to remove the program from your hard disk drive.  To delete Frontlets in its entirery, simply delete the following files from your \WINDOWS directory:

FRONTLET.SCR

FRONTLET.KJV

FRONTLET.HLP
