 ==========================================================================

 What is a compressed file? Compressed files are found on most installation
 disks and have a "_" as the last character in the extension. For example:
 if the file "MYFILE.EXE" was compressed the name would be "MYFILE.EX_".
 You would have to expand it before you could use it.

 ==========================================================================
	
 Installation:

 If you received "COMPRESS IT V1.0" from a BBS, you must UNZIP the file
 before you can use it. Create a new directory on your hard drive. Copy
 the file "cmpresit.zip" into the new directory and UNZIP it. Start the
 Windows's File Manager and log on to the directory where you UNZIPPED
 "cmpresit.zip". Double-click on the file "setup.exe" by clicking the
 left mouse button twice. This should start the setup process. Everything
 is automatic from here on, just follow the on-screen prompts.

 ========================================================================== 
 
 Manual Installation:

 Copy the following files into you "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM" directory:

 msmasked.vbx
 threed.vbx
 tips1.vbx
 vbmfile.vbx
 vbstr.dll
 vbrun300.dll (not included in "cmpresit.zip", but can be found
                  elsewhere in the software libraries)

 =======================================================================

 "COMPRESS IT V1.0" requires "COMPRESS.EXE" and "EXPAND.EXE" to be in the
 same directory with the program. Both programs were installed
 with Visual Basic V3.0 in the directory "C:\VB\SETUPKIT\KITFILES". If 
 you don't have Visual Basic V3.0 you can find "EXPAND.EXE" in your DOS
 directory. Locate these two files and copy them into the directory where
 the "COMPRESS IT V1.0" program is located.

 Microsoft is the trademark name of Microsoft Corp. Compress.exe and
 Expand.exe are both copyrighted by Microsoft.

 Registration for this program is only $10. Well worth it, if you are 
 tired of dropping to DOS to compress or expand your files.
