COPYRIGHT (C) 1993-1996 OMNITREND SOFTWARE, INC.

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

The setup program provided by PageMaster installs all the 
necessary components.  A program group will also be created from 
which you can launch the application.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

For extensive help on any of the dialog boxes presented by the 
Setup program during installation, press the F1 key or choose the 
Help button in the dialog box.

To run Setup for installation of PageMaster:

1.  If Windows NT is not already running, follow the procedure for starting 
    Windows NT.  
2.  Choose Run from the File Menu in the Program Manager window.  In the 
    Command Line box, type the drive letter and path to the location of the 
    PageMaster files, followed by \SETUP.  For example, "G:\DOWNLOADS\SETUP".
3.  Choose the OK button or press ENTER.

THE INSTALLATION PROCESS

There are four steps to the installation process.  The Setup 
program does the following:

1. Asks you where to install PageMaster.  Its default location is
   the C:\PageMaster directory.  If this directory doesn't exist, 
   Setup will create it for you.
2. Installs the PageMaster program files.
3. Creates a Program Group entitled "PageMaster".
4. Notifies you that setup is complete.
