FS-PRO requires a minimum of 1.7 mbytes of fixed disk space on
any logical drive labeled C to H. A minimum of 540 kbytes of RAM
is required and, it is suggested that you terminate any RAM-RESIDENT
software before using FS-PRO. We apologize to those who require
partitions beyond H drive. Perhaps, you can duplicate the directories
and move files after the install process is complete.

In addition to a fixed drive, you must have a CGA, EGA or VGA video
driver. FS-PRO will NOT operate very well in monochrome. Be sure that
your CONFIG.SYS file is set up properly for your XT or AT files and
buffers and that you include an ANSI.SYS driver and mouse, if
necessary.

        Example: CONFIG.SYS

                device=c:\dos\mouse.sys
                device=c:\dos\ansi.sys
                files=15
                buffers=20

FS-PRO is shipped on five, 5 1/4", 360 Kbyte, floppy disks labeled
SYSTEM DISK #1 of 5 and so on. We realize that many IBM PS/2 users
may only have a high density 3" diskette drive. But, 5 1/4" drives
are still in the majority and so we chose to use this media.

However, for those who would like to copy all of the EXEcutable
FS-PRO files onto a single 3" HD diskette, you may do so. During
the INSTALL process just press <C>ontinue when the prompt changes
from disk #1 through #5. All the we require is that we find the
proper EXEcutable file when we search for it prior to transferring
them to your fixed drive. It doesn't matter if they are on 5 disks
or a single HD diskette. You do not need to copy the following
system files to the 3" diskette unless you wish. Otherwise, all
of the remaining files will need to be copied to the diskette.

FS-PRO is extremely "path" sensitive. In order to help eliminate
the possibility of installation mistakes, we have chosen to use
an automatic INSTALLATION utility that "creates" the proper sub-
directories in which to store the FS-PRO system files. After they
are "created" we copy the proper files to their proper directory.
This is not unlike many large and complex software systems that
require multiple subdirectories to contain seperate file types.

Another feature that we have chosen to use is automatic unpacking
of compressed files. This eliminates the need for a user to have
the appropriate file compression utility and reduces the total
disk space requirements to ship FS-PRO.

Occassionally, experts may opt to install FS-PRO using traditional
command line statements and "name" their own directory paths. This
is possible but, we highly recommend against it; even for experts.
Before providing FREE VOICE SUPPORT, you will be asked if you used
this FS-PRO INSTALLATION UTILITY or if you attempted to install by
DOS command line statements.

This installation utility will create the following directories on
the fixed drive that you select.

               DIRECTORY/SUBDIRECTORY      CONTENTS
               ====================================

                \FSP            All EXE, OVL, HLP, DOC files
                \FSP\ADV        All ADV, DAT, FPN files
                \FSP\AIRPORT    Airport Data Base
                \FSP\AIRCRAFT   Aircraft Data Base

If you have a previous version of FS-PRO, you will be prompted to
use the FSPREP feature to prepare your drive for the new version.
This will delete all of the files in these directories and allow you
to install the new version. Please, backup any special airport or
aircraft data base files before using FSPREP. This preparation
feature will NOT delete any files (MODE or otherwise) that are
located in your Microsoft Flight Simulator directory. It ONLY
removes "old" FS-PRO files from those directories listed above.

    ╚═══╩═══════════════════════════╝

FS-PRO uses an INDEXED data base to search for specific AIRPORT and
AIRCRAFT files. We provide approximately 1200 airport entries for
all scenery disks and extract it during the install process.

However, since we do NOT provide a similar data base for the AIRCRAFT
types (you enter your own up to 9,999) we must format a NEW one so
that you may begin entering your own. Therefore, you can observe the
process as we format \FSP\AIRCRAFT and proceed to the next step.

    ╔═══╦═══════════════════════════╗

    ╚═══╩═══════════════════════════╝

Following the installation, we will automatically "run" FS-PRO so that
you may complete the installation by using the SETUP utility provided.
Be certain to read the FS-PRO "Information" files which will point you
to the proper setup utility and procedures.

Since we use a small .BAT file (INSTALL.BAT) to "run" FSPI.EXE, when
you finally EXIT to DOS from the FS-PRO menu, DOS will try to locate
INSTALL.BAT to complete the "batch" execution. Either, replace the
System Disk #1 of 5 into the drive you selected, or type CTRL-C to
terminate the BATCH command.

Please, remember to read the documentation provided on System Disk
#5 of 5. It is normal DOS text and can also be printed. Also, most
modules are equipped with INFORMATION screens similar to this.

We hope that you will enjoy using FS-PRO and encourage you to order
the commercial version which includes many more unique features. It
will also work with either version 3 or 4 of Microsoft's Flight
Simulator program and is noiseless. Serious PC pilots, worldwide, are
FS-PROing their way into adventure, education and fun.

We only charge $5 per disk which is about as inexpensive as most
public domain software houses charge for un-registered versions of
Shareware type programs. $25 + $3 S&H = $28.00
