                        INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
                         Shareware Version 2.0 



    KrisCards REQUIREMENTS
    ----------------------
              a)  an IBM PC/AT compatible computer
              b)  EGA, VGA, or SVGA 16 color display
              c)  128 K available memory
              d)  2-4 MB free hard disk space

    Use of a mouse is supported but is not required.

    KrisCards may be run from Windows or the DOS prompt.  We recommend
    printing this document if you plan to install the Windows option.


    KrisCards INSTALLATION 
    -----------------------
    KrisCards should be installed in its own directory to prevent possible
    confusion with other files having the same extension.  A separate
    directory will also simplify de-installation after seasonal use.
    Any directory name may be used but the Windows .PIF file should be
    updated to reflect the change.  "C:\KC" is used in the PIF file.
    
    Card sets are shipped in the compressed ZIP 1.10 format.  You will
    need a separate program to "unzip" the files.  The preview file
    names are enclosed with curly brackets "{ }".
    

    INSTALLATION UNDER WINDOWS
    --------------------------
    KrisCards should be run in the FULL SCREEN mode.  The KrisCards
    colors are not available when using the Windows 16 color driver.
    A partial screen will cause strange color combinations.  We have
    included a conversion routine for images that you want to export
    to Windows.  Use of the Clipboard requires the 386 Enhanced mode.
    
    This procedure has been tested with Windows 3.1.  Other versions
    may require different steps.  We will assume that the KrisCards
    program is installed in the C:\KC directory.  Our "ShortCut Key"
    is ALT+K.  Use the PIF Editor to make any changes to KRISCARD.PIF.

    1.  Click on the Program Group where you want the icon to be.

    2.  Click on FILE on the top bar.

    3.  Click on NEW and select Program ITEM.  Click on OK.

    4.  Type in "KrisCards" for the Description. (Ignore parentheses)

    5.  Type "C:\KC\Kriscard" as the Command Line.

    6.  Type "C:\KC" for the Working Directory.

    7.  Click on CHANGE ICON.

    8.  Type "C:\KC\" in the file name window and click on BROWSE.

    9.  Click on any file with the .ICO extension for a preview.
        Click OK when you have made your selection.
        Click OK again from the CHANGE ICON menu.
        Click OK from the PROPERTIES menu.

    10. KrisCards has been installed.  Click on the icon to run the
        program.  A three second delay follows any error messages.
        Press [Pause] to hold the screen and [Enter] to resume.

    NOTE:  Contrary to popular belief, the icon file (.ICO) does not
    have to be on your hard drive.  You may select any icon from a
    floppy disk since Windows makes a copy of the image and uses it
    for normal activities until you change screen drivers.  You can
    substitute "A:\" or "B:\" for "C:\KC\" in step 8 if you choose.
