2.  INSTALLATION.

To install the software, simply copy the entire contents of the SPC
System Diskette(s) into a separate sub-directory (c:\spc for the
example below) on your hard disk and then execute the install
routine "install".  (Note:  The example below assumes that the
floppy disk drive being used is the "a" drive.  Some computers may
have the 3 1/2" or 5 1/4" drive as the "b" drive.  If this is the
case, change "a" to "b" for this example.)  Copying the files and
installing the software can be accomplished with the following
steps:

3 1/2" Disk Version (Total of 1 disk)

        (a)  Place the SPC Disk into the a: drive
        (b)  Type "c:" <Enter>
        (c)  Type "md c:\spc" <Enter>
        (d)  Type "cd c:\spc" <Enter>
        (e)  Type "copy a:*.*" <Enter>
        (f)  Type "install" <Enter>
        
5 1/4" Disk Version (Total of 2 disks)

        (a)  Place the SPC Diskette #1 into the a: drive
        (b)  Type "c:" <Enter>
        (c)  Type "md c:\spc" <Enter>
        (d)  Type "cd c:\spc" <Enter>
        (e)  Type "copy a:*.*" <Enter>
        (f)  Remove SPC Diskette #1 from the a: drive
        (g)  Place SPC Diskette #2 in the a: drive
        (h)  Type "copy a:*.*" <Enter>
        (i)  Remove SPC Diskette #2 from the a: drive
        (j)  Type "install" <Enter>

When complete, the SPC installation routine (steps f/j above) will
display the message "SPC Version 1.2 INSTALLED".
