================================================================
[B] Installation Instructions
================================================================

1) Installations for a new season
---------------------------------
   a) Copy all files to a new directory (eg C:\NFL95)

   b) Optional step for experienced users:
      Move THREED.VBX, SPIN.VBX and VBRUN300.DLL to your Windows
      System directory (probably called C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM)
 
   c) Run NFLPOOL.EXE

   d) Enjoy!

2) Upgrades for a current season
--------------------------------
   a) Overwrite NFLPOOL.EXE and NFLPOOL.HLP in your existing
      directory with the newer versions.

   *WARNING*
   DO NOT overwrite your current NFLPOOL.INI file unless you
   really want to reset all of your data!

   b) Enjoy!


================================================================
[C] Tips
================================================================

1) Shortcuts to NFL Team Statistics
-----------------------------------
   You can display the Team Statistics dialog by a number of
   methods. The obvious one being through the Vie menu.
   You can also get this dialog by:
   - Double-clicking a helmet icon on main form.
   - Double-clicking a team name while viewing the NFL Tables.
   - Double-clicking a team name while viewing the League Stats.

2) Displaying divisional Head To Head
-------------------------------------
   A basic divisional Head to Head dialog can be displayed,
   showing a W-L-T summary for each team vs. all others.
   You can get this dialog whilst viewing the NFL Tables by:
   - Double-clicking a Division Title Line.

3) Overriding the INI Path
--------------------------
   Normally the NFLPOOL.INI file is located in the same directory
   as the NFLPOOL.EXE file.
   Network users may want to place the EXE file in a read-only 
   resource but have the INI file in a read-write one.
   To do this you should copy the INI file to your new location.
   In the ORIGINAL INI file (still in same directory as EXE) add
   the following line to the [General] section:

   INIPath=NewDirectoryName

   eg INIPath=P:\NFLFILES
