To install MultiMaint, place the diskette in any drive and double click on the
Install.EXE file and the following will happen:

1. A set of instructions will appear. Please read these and click on OK.

2. The Defaults Dialog will appear. Please insure that all of the Path 
information is correct. The From and To Directories can be the same, however 
that is very unlikely in this situation, since you will be installing from a 
diskette. The Tools Folder Location can either be an ObjectID, as is the 
Default, or the actual name of a Folder in which you wan the Tools Folder 
installed. On my Desktop, I have them in the IniMaint Folder, so I change 
this entry to C:\DESKTOP\INIMAINT, which is the actual name of the IniMaint 
Folder Directory. If you do not want the ICO and other unnecessary files 
automatically erased at the end of the Install, then uncheck the Erase 
Unneeded Files Checkbox. You should leave the Unzip Install Files Checked, 
since the files on the diskette are zipped.

3. The Initialization is now finished and you should select either an entry 
from the Install Menu, if you are installing for the first time or are 
upgrading, or from the Setup Menu if you simply want the Tools Folder to be 
created.

4. You should not be able to open the Tools Folder and use all of the 
appropriate tools.

5. If you need to register your version before the Tools will work. Click on 
the Icon for IniMaint, SysMaint or MultiMaint, depending on which product you 
installed and use the Action Menu to register your version.

There are a number of documentation files included with MultiMaint. The
only one that is needed to run MultiMaint is the MultiMaint.TXT file.
This file describes MultiMaint. The other files are supplemental
information as follows:

1. INICHNGE.TXT is a list of all changes since the first Beta release.

2. INIGROUP.TXT discusses the IniMaint concept of Groups and how to use
   them.

3. INIFILE.TXT discusses INI Files, in general and the User and System INI
   files specifically.

4. INIREPAR.TXT discusses the various Repair functions that are
   available as part of the Recover Menu.

5. WHATISEA.TXT discusses OS/2 File Extended Attributes.

6. INIHELP.TXT is the full help file as a text file with the special
   characters and hypertext cross references removed.

7. DESKTOP.TXT discusses how Desktops get corrupted and what the user can do 
   to protect themselves.
