The installation procedure for WhatPill for Windows is quite simple. The
package includes a program, "SETUP.EXE", which automates the entire
process.

If Hard Disk Space is tight: (if you have 12.5MB free hard disk space or
more, ignore the following paragraph)

A full installation of WhatPill uses a little under 10MB of hard disk
space. If you downloaded WhatPill from a BBS or online service, then you
will temporarily need 2.5MB in addition (to hold the unzipped files of
the archive). But since a little over half of WhatPill is taken up by
the Write tutorials, you can get away with having only 5.3MB of free
room (after unarchiving and deleting the downloaded archive file/s) by
first installing JUST the tutorials, printing out all the tutorials,
then uninstalling, then finally reinstalling, this time installing just
WhatPill (WhatPill without the tutorials requires about 4.5MB).

The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
WhatPill for Windows.

INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE  (download from online service)

If you downloaded WhatPill for Windows from an online service or BBS you
will need to perform the following steps.

   o  Extract the contents of the archive file(s) into a temporary
      directory on your hard drive.  The procedure for doing this
      varies, depending on the form in which you received the package.
      In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means
      you've already done this! If not, you should be able to obtain
      directions for unarchiving your downloaded files from the same
      source from which you received the package. After you've performed
      this step, if space is tight on your hard disk (you need 10MB free
      before doing the next step if you want to install both WhatPill
      and the tutorials), you may want to delete the downloaded archive
      file(s) now (this gains about 2.5MB). If space is not tight, you
      should hang on to the downloaded archive files until installation
      proves out.

   o  Execute the "SETUP.EXE" program which you have extracted.  For
      example, if the temporary directory into which you have extracted
      the WhatPill for Windows package is C:\XXX, you would type
      from Windows Program manager: File... Run... c:\xxx\setup

   o  Follow the instructions presented by the installation program. The
      program will ask you for a destination directory, and will extract
      the WhatPill for Windows files to that directory. You can install
      over an existing version of WhatPill with no data loss, but it's
      recommended you delete the existing WhatPill program group from
      Window's Program Manager first, so it is freshly created. The
      only change to your system this installation routine makes is to
      put WhatPill on your hard disk and creat the program group. No
      system files are disturbed (autoexec.bat, config.sys, win.ini, etc).

   o  When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you
      should delete the temporary directory from which you installed
      WhatPill for Windows (C:\XXX, in the above discussion), including
      all its contents. You may want to delete the original downloaded
      WhatPill archive files too.

INSTALLING FROM INSTALLATION DISKETTES (as provided upon registration)

To install from the regular installation diskette(s), you need to
perform the following steps.

   o  Place the first WhatPill for Windows distribution diskette in the
      appropriate diskette drive.

   o  Execute the "SETUP.EXE" program on the distribution diskette. For
      example, from Windows Program Manager, select File, Run... a:setup

   o  Follow the instructions presented by the installation program. The
      program will ask you for a destination directory, and will extract
      the WhatPill for Windows files to that directory. You can install
      over an existing version of WhatPill with no data loss, but it's
      recommended you delete the existing WhatPill program group from
      Window's Program Manager first, so it is freshly created. The
      only change to your system this installation routine makes is to
      put WhatPill on your hard disk and creat the program group. No
      system files are disturbed (autoexec.bat, config.sys, win.ini, etc).
