		              the directories you've created)
		
	   documentation:
		README	     (this file)
		tab.doc      (operating instructions)		

		
	To install the program, first rename the de-arced
	files by executing execute.me:

		execute execute.me


	Copy the font files into your FONTS: directory
	by typing:

		execute execute.fnt

	Copy the tab tool into your C: directory:

		copy tab C:tab

	The tab tool always tries to read its instrument
	sound data from STRINGS:SoundData.

	Make a directory for the instrument data:

		makedir SYS:SoundData
		makedir SYS:SoundData/banjo
		makedir SYS:SoundData/aguitar

	Show the tab tool where to read the instrument
	data (you may want to add this to your startup):

		assign STRINGS: SYS:

	Copy the sound data files into their directories:

		execute execute.snd

	Copy these files into whatever directory you want
	to use as your project directory:
		 EmptyGuitar
		 EmptyGuitar.info
		 EmptyBanjo
		 EmptyBanjo.info
		 DeepRiver
		 DeepRiver.info
		 FMB
		 FMB.info 
	
	Finally, read tab.doc (operating instructions).
