  Installation Instructions

      Note: You may use Windows 3.0 if you have installed VER.DLL,
            COMMDLG.DLL and WINHELP.EXE (V3.1) in your Windows
            directories. These can be supplied if needed.

      1. Backup your BioGraf distribution diskette/ZIP file before you
         install BioGraf.

         You can do this by using the MS-DOS DISKCOPY command if you
         received BioGraf on a diskette, or by using the MS-DOS COPY
         command if you received BioGraf in some other way - such as from
         a bulletin board etc. For more information on using either of
         these commands, please refer to your MS-DOS User's Guide.

      2. Place the backup copy of your BioGraf diskette into your
         computer's floppy drive and choose RUN from the Program Manager
         FILE menu (or its equivalent if you are using a different shell).

      3. Type A:\INSTALL (or B:\INSTALL) and click on OK in the FILE/RUN
         dialog box.

      4. Follow the installation instructions on the the screen.

      Note: Please keep BIOGRAF.EXE, BIOGRAF.DAT and BIOGRAF.HLP in the
            same directory, and do not rename any of these files.

  Running BioGraf

      Start BioGraf by double-clicking on the BioGraf icon in Program
      Manager (or its equivalent) to run the program. Once BioGraf has
      started up, you should be able to use the People command to set up a
      personal biorhythm display.

  A Note on the Iconized Display

      One of BioGraf's many features is its dynamic iconized display,
      which shows the current state of your biorhythms. This iconized
      display is NOT the same as the icon that sits in Program Manager
      (or its equivalent) before the program is running.
                        	   [2]

      To get the iconized display, start BioGraf as usual, then click
      on the minimize button in the top right hand corner of the window.

      If you exit from BioGraf while the display is minimized, then the
      program will start up in an iconized state again next time you use
      it. If you don't want it to start up in a minimized state, simply
      make sure you exit from it while it's not minimized.

  On-line Help and the User's Guide

      BioGraf uses the Windows Help system to provide on-line information
      as and when you need it. This information, although concise, is
      ideal for jogging your memory on specific commands. When you
      register BioGraf, you will receive a full 38-page printed and bound
      User's Guide, with a special section discussing the nature and
      meaning of biorhythms.

      You can get help in BioGraf by clicking on the Help button, or by
      typing <H>.

      There is also a quicker way to get help: press the <F1> key, or
      click the right mouse button. This will normally take you straight
      to the main index, but if you are in a dialog box or status window,
      it will give you help related to what you are doing.
