SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
===================

To run "Baby Keys" you need the following:

     *    192K (Kilo bytes) of free memory
     *    A Floppy or Hard disk system (hard disk recommended)
     *    PC/MS DOS 2.11 or above. Or Novell DR DOS 6.0 or above
     *    A HERCULES, CGA, MCGA, PLANTRONICS, EGA, or VGA graphics
          adapter.
     *    About 230K free space on the disk that will be running
          Baby Keys.

See Page 3 of the user manual for more details.



INSTALLATION
============

Use the INSTALL program to set up Baby Keys. To use INSTALL, you
would type something similar to the following at the DOS prompt:

 
    INSTALL s:  d:
            |   |
            |   Destination Drive
            |
            Source Drive
 
     Make sure to include colon (:) after the drive letter. The
     above command is ONLY a model. You won't literally type in the
     above command. However using the model "INSTALL s: d:", you
     would type something like the following:
 
          INSTALL a:  b: <ENTER>

     This example copies Baby Keys from the A: drive to the B:
     drive. On a hard disk you might type the following:

          INSTALL a:  c: <ENTER>

     This example copies Baby Keys from the A: drive to the C:
     drive.

See page 4 of the user manual for more details.



PRINTING THE MANUAL
===================

To print the manual, you can type a command similar to the following:

        COPY BABYKEYS.DOC LPT1: /B <ENTER>
                          ^
                          |
                          This can be any valid DOS device. For example,
                          you could replace "LPT1" with "COM1".

RUNNING BABY KEYS WITH MS-WINDOWS 3.1
=====================================

The following files are automatically copied during installation:

     BABYKEYS.PIF to path \BABYKEYS
     BABYKEYS.GRP to path \WINDOWS
     BABYKEYS.ICO to path \BABYKEYS

Use the Windows Setup option in the MAIN group to tell your system
about Baby Keys.

NOTE:     If Windows is not located in the C:\WINDOWS path on your
          system, you will have to use the PIF Editor. In the MAIN
          group, use the PIF Editor to modify the file
          BABYKEYS.PIF. By using the PIF Editor, you will tell
          Windows where to find Baby Keys.

When you have successfully installed a Program Group and Program Item for 
Baby Keys, your icon should be a little baby. If you do not see a little
baby as the Baby Keys icon, do the following:

        (1) Maximize the Program Manager.

        (2) Highlight the Baby Keys Group and Icon.

        (3) Select "File" from the Program Manager.

        (4) Select "Properties".

        (5) Select "Change Icon".

        (6) At the "File Name:" prompt, you would type in the drive, path,
            as well as the word BABYKEYS.ICO. This will normally be:

                C:\BABYKEYS\BABYKEYS.ICO
