This is the NEW INSTALLATION SETUP package for Portal© for Windows.

*************************************************************************
ALERT!
This setup program is only to be used on systems that do not already have
Portal© installed.  If you do have it already installed, please download
the Portal© Upgrade Installation file from http://www.gameaxle.com and
follow the README instructions for that install.
*************************************************************************

This file describes a basic quickstart for installing a fresh copy
of Portal© onto a system that doesn't already have any previous
version installed.

Before installing, you should shut down all other programs

Run the SETUP.EXE program from the new install package.  The files should
be in a fresh temporary directory that you unzipped the compressed install
package into.  The setup program will default to c:\Program files\Portal.
It is highly recommended that you select this default location.

If you run into installation errors or issues, please consult the
BDE Help.txt file in the installation directory.

Below describes a quickie way to login to your favorite MUD.

* Execute the Portal.exe file and wait for the intro graphics to finish
* Click on the Wizard button on the login screen (open book w/magic wand)
* Follow the onscreen instructions.  At the end, choose to create a new profile
* Press the Accept License and Login button
* Once connected, login to the mud as normal

Done!

You are now ready to become an internet statistic
