V0.99D UPGRADE INSTALLATION:
	1.  Copy the FILESTAR.EXE and FILESTAR.HLP files to the directory 
	    in which FileStar is installed.

	2.  Your existing FILESTAR.INI and FILESTAR.DAT files should work
	    with this version.		

NEW INSTALLATION: 

        1.  Copy FILESTAR.EXE, FILESTAR.HLP, and BPMCC.DLL to the
            directory of your choice.

        2.  Drag the "Program" object from "Templates" (usually found
            in the OS/2 system object).  The settings notebook will 
            appear.

        3.  In the "Path and file name" box, enter X:\PATH\FILESTAR.EXE
            where X: is the Drive and PATH is the path.		
 
        4.  In the "Parameters" box enter the two drive\directories that you
            want read into the two file windows, i.e. 
            D:\WHATEVER E:\MYAPPS. Leave a space between them.

        5.  Go to the "General" tab and enter FileStar in the "Title" entry
            field.

STARTING:

FileStar can be started in one of four ways:

        1.  Double click with the mouse on FileStar's desktop icon.

        2.  At an OS/2 command prompt, type "X:\PATH\FILESTAR dir1 dir2" 
            and Enter. The program will log in the directories listed on the 
            command line.

        3.  Put BPMCC.DLL in the LIBPATH, FILESTAR.HLP in the OS/2 HLP 
            directory and the directory containing FILESTAR.EXE in the path. 
            Type "filestar" at a command prompt and Enter.	

        4.  Change to the directory with FILESTAR.EXE and from a command line, 
            type "filestar" and Enter.	

FIRST TIME START:

FileStar will be slower than normal on the initial startup. It reads the two 
directories into a disk file, creates an FILESTAR.INI and a WORKDIR 
subdirectory. After startup, any drive not read into the disk file is added 
when that drive is accessed. From this point on, refer to the online help. 
Click in a window, press F1 for help. For General Help, press F4 then F1. 
General Help has links to about all you need to know. There are seven 
popup menus in the primary window. Be sure you find them all to fully 
evaluate the program. You must have Info-ZIP's ZIP.EXE (v2.0.1) and 
UNZIP.EXE (v5.1) to evaluate the zip interface (which is quite nice).
