You may also have additional supplementary files.

These files may be supplied in archived form, ie. they may be
compressed into one file, for example:  SLD.ZIP

INSTALLATION:
-------------
If the files are supplied in an archived form then:

  a) if you are installing on a floppy disk:
    1) make a backup copy of the floppy containing the SLD program.
    2) with the new floppy in the drive run the unarchive program
       to unarchive the files (eg. PKUNZIP SLD).

  b) if you are installing on a hard disk:
    1) Make a working directory on your hard disk where the
       program files are to be stored, eg. C:\SLD
    2) Change to this directory and place the disk containing the
       SLD program in the floppy drive.
    3) run the unarchive program, specifying the floppy drive
       followed by the archive file name,  eg. PKUNZIP A:\SLD

If the files are supplied in Un-archived form then:

  a) if you are installing on floppy disk:
    1) make a backup copy of the floppy disk containing the
       files and run the program from this disk.

  b) if you are installing on a hard disk:
    1) Make a working directory on the hard disk where the
       program files are to be stored, eg. C:\SLD.
    2) Change to this directory and place the disk containing
       the SLD program in the floppy drive.
    3) use the DOS copy program to copy the files from floppy
       disk into this directory, eg. COPY A:\*.*



To start SLD, change to the directory containing the SLD prorgam
and simply type "SLD" at the DOS prompt.
If you have a monochrome monitor you may prefer to start SLD
by typing "SLD /M". This will temporarily override the default
color settings.


The user manual:
Use an editor or wordprocessor to look at the user manual.

Printing the manual:
The SLD.DOC file has been saved as ASCII text. The page size has
been set for printing on Standard 11" x 8.5" paper with 1"
left,right,top and bottom margins, using an Epson compatible
printer. If you wish to change these, for example if you want
to use A4 paper, then you will need to import SLD.DOC into a
wordprocessor or editor.

Versions of SLD not uploaded onto a BBS may include SLD.WP5
which is a version of the manual in Wordperfect 5 format.

Online help: SLD has full online help facilities.
