               INSTALLING COELI - ADASTRA
               ---------------------------

 Before you do anything else, place your mouse-pointer over the
 time readout in your System Tray and make sure your PC's clock
 is showing today's date. If not, you will need to double click
 and set it before attempting to install this Coeli product.


Windows automatic installation
------------------------------

Your Adastra package is installed simply by double clicking on
the file SETUP.EXE once you have unzipped the contents of
Adastra.zip to a folder of your choosing.

We recommend the excellent WinZip utility for unpacking
Adastra's main .zip archive. You can get the latest version
of Winzip from

http://www.winzip.com


THE SETUP UTILITY LEAVES ALL PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED FILES OF THE
SAME NAME INTACT, SO WITHOUT FIRST REMOVING THE LAST
INSTALLATION, A NEW COPY OF THE PACKAGE CANNOT BE INSTALLED.


UNINSTALLING / RE-INSTALLING ADASTRA
------------------------------------
Adastra may be uninstalled at any time simply by opening
Control Panel from the Settings entry in your Start Menu, and
double- clicking on the item Add/Remove Programs. You will be
shown a list of programs currently installed on your system,
from which you should select the item 'Adastra 2000' for
automatic removal.

The complete Adastra package contains a number of text
files, all designed to help you get started with the minimum
of fuss. Have a browse through any item with the .TXT or .RTF
extension if you've the time. Some of these will necessitate
the selection of |Word Wrap| in Notepad or whichever text
editor you elect to view them in.

POSSIBLE RE-INSTALLATION PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTION
----------------------------------------------------
Should you receive the runtime error message 'Star Catalog not found. Aborting' after re-installation over an older version of Adastra, please try the following measures before getting in touch with our support department:

1) Delete all SHORTCUTS to Adastra which were not created by the install routine. In other words, remove those which you created yourself on the Desktop etc.

2) If runtime problems persist, go to your Windows folder and move/delete the file Adastra(.ini)

3) Finally, if you still encounter serious problems, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
