Starting the program: .. (Each README describes)

   The vendor version of COM-AND includes an INSTALL program, and self-ex-
   tracting archives.  If you add a GO.BAT, or similar, please chain to our
   INSTALL.EXE.  INSTALL checks memory and disk space, and the presence of
   comm ports.	INSTALL detects a previously installed COM-AND.  INSTALL
   allows selective extraction (by archive).  On completion, INSTALL loads
   COM-AND for the first time.	The COM-AND program automatically invokes an
   INSTALL script the first time COM-AND is executed.

   for the diskette it needs as it executes.  INSTALL will also accept the
   four COM-AND distribution EXEs on a single HD diskette with INSTALL.
