DESCRIPTION:

Inforian Quest 98 is a Metasearch agent. It simplifies the search 
process and makes your Web surfing fun and efficient. With a 
single query request, Quest 98 connects to popular search engines 
and information systems simultaneously, and retrieves the results. 
After Inforian Quest 98 prioritizes the search results and removes 
duplicates, you can browse the information and organize it easily.

INSTALLATION:


A) Electronic Download Version --- 

Download and Execute IQ98v2T.EXE and then follow the installation instructions on 
the screen.

If you have a directory to which you normally download new files 
from the Internet (something like C:\DOWNLOAD), you can move IQ98v2T.EXE 
to that directory or create a shortcut and type "C:\DOWNLOAD" in the 
"Start in:" field in on the Shortcut tab window (you can change this 
shortcut parameter by right-clicking on the shortcut and selecting 
properties menu item). This way when you start IQ98v2T.EXE,  it will 
point to that directory right away, making it much faster for you to 
find the file you need.

Just insert the CD-ROM and follow the installation instruction on the screen.
Or you can execute the setup.exe under the CD-ROM's \IQ directory.
