                           WinStorm Installation
                                Version 2.0

Installation:

Installation of WinStorm requires that you be at a DOS prompt.  A DOS
session under Windows works fine, but may run a little slower than if
you are outside of Windows.  Total install time varies depending upon
the speed of your system, but generally takes about 4 minutes to
complete.

1.  Create a "WINSTORM" directory on your hard disk.  Any hard disk
    will do.  From a DOS prompt:

               C:           (to make the C drive current)
               CD \         (to make the root directory current)
               MD WINSTORM  (to create the directory)

    will create a directory named WINSTORM on your C drive.

2.  Copy all files from that were created when you unzipped the WINSTO2.ZIP
    file that you downloaded into the directory you created above.

3.  Return to Windows and add a new Program Item using Program Managers
    File/New option.  Specify the full path for WinStorm using the disk
    and directory from step 1.  For example:

                          C:\WINSTORM\STORM.EXE

    WinStorm may be run from Windows File Manager program, or by any of
    the other methods for launching a Windows program.  Please see your
    Windows documentation if further assistance is needed.

4.  Once done, double-click on the WinStorm Icon to run WinStorm.  WinStorm
    provides a complete help facility to assist you in its operation.
