Temporary Installation Instructions:

First of all, please note that this is a temporary setup mechanism soon to be
replaced with InstallShield once a few technical issues have been cleared up.

To install Addict, create a destination directory \ADDICT on your hard
drive.  This directory does not have to be called \ADDICT, but it will be
referred to as \ADDICT from this point forward.

If you've purchased on-line, or are trying the Demo:
----------------------------------------------------
Copy the ADDICT.EXE file to this directory.   From *this* directory in a
DOS window, type ADDICT -D.  Do not forget the "-D" option or your directory
structure will be setup incorrectly.

If you've purchased the disks:
----------------------------------------------------
From *this* directory in a DOS window, load Addict Disk 1 and type
"A:\ADDICT -D"  (or a different drive letter if your 3 1/2" drive is
different).  Execute the same command for the second diskette.  Do not
forget the "-D" option or your directory structure will be setup incorrectly.

You should now have the following directory structure:

\ADDICT
   \HELP
   \DLGHELP
   \SOURCE
   \COMPILE
   \DEMOS
     \16BIT
     \32BIT

For component and help file installation, please refer to the ADDICT.HLP
file, located in the \ADDICT\HELP directory.

You can execute this file by clicking on it from the Explorer, or running
WINHELP HELP\ADDICT from the \ADDICT directory.

See the topic "Installing the Components and Help File" for more information.


Also, it is important to read the warranty and license agreement, located
in the LICENSE.TXT file, located in the \ADDICT directory.  The return
policy is also located in this file.  For technical support information,
please refer to the ADDICT.HLP file mentioned previously.

There is also a 113 page printable manual in the \ADDICT\HELP directory
called ADDICT20.RTF.  This manual is in Rich Text Format and is readable by
most commercial word processors.
