Introduction
============
     Doughboy Professional Install is a powerful yet extremely easy to use
Installation Program Generator and Disk Set Builder.  Within minutes you 
can have a professional looking INSTALL program for your software, as 
well as a set of disks ready to be duplicated and shipped out!

     Doughboy Professional is designed to be a time and energy saving tool.
As a software programmer, you will have more time to concentrate on 
developing your own application rather than worrying about the 
complexities of writing an INSTALL program or how you can fit your 
huge files on the distribution disks.  Write your software, and then let 
Doughboy Professional Install worry about these other issues!


How to install
==============
     After you have UNZIPed the archive you received from your BBS or
Internet Site onto a floppy disk, simply run the file "A:INSTALL" from
the Microsoft Windows Program Manager.  (Substitute the letter of your
drive for A:).  Alternatively, if you UNZIPed the archive into a
directory on your hard drive, simply run "drive:\directory\INSTALL"
from the Program Manager.  Doughboy Professional was used to create its own
installation program, thereby letting you see what the program can
do for you immediately!
