          HARD DISK INSTALLATION
          ======================

          To install Pirouette on your hard disk, you should first create
          a new directory; say, C:\PIRO.  This can be done by typing:

               C:\>mkdir \piro

          When you've done this, insert the diskette containing
          PIROZIP.EXE into drive A and log onto that drive. Then type:

               A:\>hinstall c:\piro

          When the installation is completed, you can then run the program
          by typing:

               C:\PIRO>piro

          or run the sample application by typing:

               C:\PIRO>piro sample




          DUAL-FLOPPY INSTALLATION
          ========================

          To install Pirouette on a two-floppy system, format three floppy
          diskettes.  Label them "PROGRAM DISK", "SAMPLE DISK", and "DATA
          DISK".

          Insert the diskette containing PIROZIP.EXE into drive A and log
          onto that drive.  Then type:

               A:\>finstall b:

          During the installation process, you will be prompted to insert
          each disk.





          When the installation is complete, the sample disk will contain
          a copy of the Pirouette help files and the sample application.
          The Data Disk will contain only the help files, and can be used
          for developing your own new application.  Insert the Program Disk
          in drive A and either the Sample Disk or the Data Disk in drive
          B. You can run the program by logging on to drive B and typing:

               B:\>a:piro




          OTHER DETAILS
          =============

          Your CONFIG.SYS file MUST contain the following line:

               FILES=20

          Files may be set to greater than 20, if desired.

          CONFIG.SYS will be found in the root directory on your hard
          drive, or on your boot disk if you are using a two-floppy system.
