                        How to Install Active Life
                        --------------------------

The installation process allows you to select which directory you would like
to contain Active Life files. The directory you name will be created if it
doesn't already exist, and the files will be copied from the diskette(s) to
this target directory. Some files are in compressed form on the diskette(s)
and will be automatically uncompressed as they are installed.

Step 1:  Insert the (first, if two) Active Life diskette into drive A:


Step 2:  Run INSTALL

Step 3:  Run SETUP

        The SETUP program which will prompt you for the type of
        display and mouse, if any, you are using. Answer the
        questions and your system will be set up properly. (For
        more details, see the section below, Configuring Active Life
        with Setup.)


Step 4: To start Active Life run:

                AL


Step 5: As soon as the program appears, choose HELP from the menu by
        pressing Alt+H (hold down the Alt key and press H). Complete
        Documentation will appear in the on-screen Help Guide.



Configuring Active Life with Setup

You will be asked to select which type of display and mouse (if any) that
you are using. Choose among the following display adapters:

    1. Monographics (Hercules compatible monochrome graphics)
    2. CGA*	    (most laptop's and PS/2 models 25, 30)
    3. EGA
    4. VGA	    (PS/2 models 50+)

(* On a CGA, Active Life requires the high resolution mode (640x200). This
mode supports only 2 colors (eg. black and white). To run Active Life in
full color, you need a VGA or EGA display.)

To change your settings, simply run SETUP again at any time.

Choosing the correct display and mouse (or no mouse) is critical. If
Active Life is started with inaccurate settings it will not run. To make
corrections, simply run SETUP again.

When settings are correct and Active Life for DOS still does not run, it
may be due to a conflict with a resident program (.exe) or driver (.sys).
To pinpoint the problem, we suggest you temporarily modify your CONFIG.sys
and AUTOEXEC.bat files so no resident programs and drivers are included.
Re-boot your machine and try AL.bat. If AL runs OK with a clean system,
add each TSR or driver back, one at a time, rebooting between changes.
