         THE BEST ASTROLOGICAL PROGRAM EVER!
        ======================================

INSTALLATION NOTES

The minimum hardware requirement is a computer with a 386 processor
capable of running Windows 3.1x.  

4mg is the minimum recommended RAM - 8mg in the higher screen
modes of 1024 x 768 plus.

A minimum of 1.8Mb free hard disk space is required.

The program is designed to make the most effective use of Windows and
requires as much free memory as  possible.

As a rule of thumb:

4mg machines: - 640 x 480  or 800 x 600 mode depending on video memory 
                and swap file setting.

8mg machines: - Feel free and do as you will.

INSTALLING THE PROGRAM (BBS ON-LINE VERSION)

1. Create a temporary directory on your hard drive and copy the 
   "astro22w.zip" file to this directory.
   
   Example:
  
   From file manager click the drive C: icon at the top left
   of the window to locate the root directory of the drive.

   From the "File" drop-down menu bar select "Create Directory.."
   Type A22TEMP and click "OK" 

   Select the "astro22.zip" and drag it to the above directory.


2. To unzip the file use your favourite Windows unpacking program
   to extract the files to the A22TEMP directory.

   If your PKUNZIP is DOS based then open a DOS window to unpack
   the files.

3. Once unpacked you will need to run the "install.exe" program to
   install the program into windows:

   Select the RUN option from Program Manager's FILE menu.
   Type C:\A22TEMP\INSTALL 

   At the Astro22 install screen choose a hard drive for your program 
   files - this will normally be drive C: If you are new to computing 
   accept the default settings by clicking the OK button. The program
   will be installed into a directory named astro22w on your selected
   drive. 

   When the program files have been transferred to your permanent 
   directory the installation program will give you the option to 
   automatically install the Astro22 Icons into a Custom Windows 
   Group on your desktop - Recommended.

4. After a successful installation the A22TEMP directory is no longer
   required and can be deleted from your hard drive.

In the unlikely event of an installation problem:

   1. Exit Windows.

   2. Re-boot your computer.

   3. Return to Windows and try the install procedure once again.

   4. If this fails call technical support on the above telephone number.
