IMPORTANT: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS!!

     To enjoy the reports in the archive ORIGIN15.ZIP,
unarchive the ZIP file to a directory of your choice. These
documents are designed to be viewed and printed with REPLICA,
a state of the art document viewing and printing system for
Windows that a) eliminates the need to own any Windows word
processor; and b) preserves most of the formatting, design and
graphics which were part of the original document. Understand
that REPLICA is not a word processor: text is locked and you cannot 
edit or change anything. 

     FIRST, unarchive origin15.zip to a directory of choice. A 
sensible name for such a directory would be \origins. Then start 
Windows if you have not already done so. Open up the directory 
tree display and display the file list window for \origins.                         
     YOU MUST FIRST START REPLICA ITSELF WHICH IS EMBEDDED IN THE
FILE INTRO15.EXE. YOU MUST BEGIN WITH INTRO15.EXE AS REPLICA
IS NOT CONTAINED IN ANY OF THE OTHER FILES IN THIS ARCHIVE.
If you attempt to view .rpl files in any other text viewer or word
processsor they either will not open or you will view a great deal 
of garbage on screen and a total loss of formatting and design.  
SIMPLY DOUBLE CLICK ON THE ICON FOR INTRO15.EXE IN THE FILE LISTING 
OF THE \ORIGINS DIRECTORY DISPLAY. THAT IS ALL THERE IS TO IT!  REPLICA 
will start and display the file intro15.repl which is embedded in the 
file intro15.exe. You may now view each of the documents that comprise 
the 'book' Origins of Mythology by opening each within REPLICA as you 
would any file from the File Menu. REMEMBER THAT EACH DOCUMENT HAS THE 
EXTENSION .RPL NOT .DOC. 
        You may, of course, set up a program item within a group of 
your choice for intro15.exe as you would for any executable. You may 
print any range of pages, or an entire .rpl document, as you would with 
any Windows application by using Print Setup and Print in the usual 
manner. There is on-line Help on the menu bar of REPLICA if you lose your 
way. I strongly recommend that you take a few minutes and read the on-line 
help with REPLICA so that you can orient yourself about viewing, 
selecting text or graphics for cut and past clipboard operations, and 
printing. 

ORIGINS OF MYTHOLOGY

        There are five files in the shareware archive of
ORIGINS OF MYTHOLOGY: intro15.exe, readme15.rpl, mat15sh.rpl,
orig15sh.rpl, and regist15.rpl and I recommend that you read them 
in this order. YOU MUST START WITH INTRO15.EXE AS EXPLAINED ABOVE 
IN ORDER TO INSTALL THE REPLICA VIEWING SYSTEM. Readme15 will give
you some general background about several issues and introduce
you to Reality Software. Mat15sh and orig15sh are shareware
previews of the research reports that comprise the heart of the 
'book'. Regist15 is a registration form should you wish to
acquire a copy of the complete study. In the registered
version of ORIGINS OF MTYHOLOGY, which is not archived, matse15.rpl 
and origin15.rpl are the complete research reports.                 

ABOUT REPLICA

	REPLICA does not preserve the original margins of most 
documents in that the right and left margins on the REPLICA 
viewing screen are usually wider than on the original document 
when it is viewed with the word processor that created it. 
If you find the font size displayed by REPLICA to be smaller than 
you wish, check to see that your video mode is 640 x 480.  Such a 
resolution will correct most readablity problems. REPLICA is
machine intensive. I doubt it will run on a 286 and performance
will be slow on a 386SX.

	Understand that this is the first commercial release of 
REPLICA and the programming challenge was formidable!  If you 
don't believe it, ask your friendly neigborhood Windows programmer. 
Reflect that no cross application document viewing system was 
available for Windows until late fall '93 even though the need was 
apparent years ago. Play with the buttons on the tool bar and drop the 
View menu and notice the many choices there.  Enjoy the presentation 
and reflect that you now can explore state-of-the-art document viewing 
for Windows.  I welcome any and all comments, criticisms and suggestions: 
see addresses on the registration form. Please note the large size of 
this shareware archive and realize that .exe and .rpl files do not 
undergo much compression by PKZIP: the total size of all files in 
this archive is about 1.3Meg.  Be certain you have adequate space on 
your drive to hold these files and for ease of use they should all be put 
in the same directory. The registered version of ORIGINS OF
MYTHOLOGY V1.5 is only available on two high density disks.

	The shareware version of REPLICA is embedded within intro15.exe 
and includes an extensive Help file. You may view an unlimited number 
of REPLICA documents (.rpl) but you can only create 5 (five) REPLICA 
document files of your own.  Registration of REPLICA is required if 
you wish to create an unlimited number of .rpl files.  See About ... 
on the Help menu. Reality Software does sell REPLICA: you must
contact Farallon Software directly. If you are interested in document 
publishing for Windows I highly recommend REPLICA.
