    ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ
    
    HSIM is provided in a self extracting file of the format EXPORT.EXE

    If HSIM was down loaded from a computer bulletin board it may also
    be compressed and placed in a .ZIP .ARC or similar file. Place the
    compressed file in a convenient directory on your hard disk drive
    other than the root directory.  Decompress the down loaded file
    using appropriate procedures for your system.

    If you are installing HSIM from a distribution diskette it is
    installed as follows: Place the installation diskette in an
    available drive which will usually be either "A" or "B". Select the
    drive in which the diskette is placed by entering: "A:" and press
    the enter key.  (On some machines the Enter key may also be labeled
    <Return>.)  Then use the install program to build HSIM.

    To install HSIM type "INSTALL" followed by a space and the letter of
    the drive on which the program is to be installed. As this will
    usually be "C" drive it will be so assumed for the rest of this
    discussion and the entry should look like this:

                    C:\INSTALL C <Enter>

    This command will automatically install the program on drive "C" in
    directory "C:\HSIM".

    A shareware and registration screen will then be displayed. Press
    the enter key and you will see the HSIM menus.  Move to the far
    right and select by pressing the enter key MANUAL/REGISTRATION.
    Select registractio.  You will be able to view the registration
    befort you print it.  We have provided a very nifty Registration
    form,  it will generate an envelope your to to send us.
