CONTENTS OF THE ZIP FILE
------------------------

Programmer's File Editor is distributed in a ZIP format archive that contains
a directory structure. To unpack all the files and recreate the directories,
you should issue a command such as this:

             pkzip -o -d filename

where 'filename' should be the name of the ZIP file

  Contributed Items
  -----------------
  [Items in this directory are contributed by users of PFE; they are not the
   responsibility of the author. You need not copy them to your hard disk
   unless you want to use them]

  contrib\pfeue.key      A key mapping file that sets up as close a match to
                         MicroEMACS key usage as is reasonable, contributed
                         by Jeremy Brown. To use this as your default mapping,
                         copy it to a file called pfe.key in your Windows and/or
                         Windows/NT directory.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


INSTALLING THE WINDOWS 3 VERSION
--------------------------------

Copy the files
                 common\pfe.hlp
                 win3\pfe.exe
                 win3\$pfedos.exe
                 win3\$pfedos.pif

into a directory on your hard disk. If you want PFE to run DOS commands
by default in a window rather than full-screen, use the PIF editor to change
$pfedos.pif appropriately

The Windows 3 version will create its initialisation file, and will look for
its default key mapping file, in your Windows 3 directory


INSTALLING THE WINDOWS/NT VERSION
---------------------------------

Copy the files
                 common\pfe.hlp
                 winnt\pfe32.exe
                 winnt\$pfeds32.exe

into a directory on your hard disk. This can be the same directory that
contains the Windows 3 version if you want to run both.

The Windows/NT version will create its initialisation file, and will look for
its default key mapping file, in your Windows/NT directory
