A.  SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

WISDOM OF THE AGES for Windows will work with any IBM or compatible PC
running Windows 3.1 or Win 95 with a VGA graphics card and hard disk drive
with about 6.6 megabytes of free disk space.  (An extra 1.5 megabytes is
temporarily needed for installation.)


B.  INSTALLATION OVERVIEW FOR A BBS DOWNLOAD

Before you can use WISDOM OF THE AGES for Windows you have to run the SETUP
program from Window's Program Manager so it will work properly on your
computer.  YOU CANNOT JUST COPY THE UNZIPPED FILES TO A DIRECTORY ON YOUR
HARD DISK.  WIS_PAK.EXE is a self extracting archive.  The SETUP program
will expand it; put files in their correct places; and optionally create a
Windows Program Group.


C.  INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Although the program can be installed to any Target Directory on any Hard
Disk Drive, the instructions below assume that you are using the default
values of:

	Hard Disk Drive:	C:
	Source Directory:	\DOWNLOAD  (Where the UnZipped Files are Located.)
	Target Directory	\WISDOM25

If you use different values modify the instructions accordingly.

We suggest that you Move WISWIN25.ZIP to a floppy disk and save it as your
backup copy before proceeding.

1. The installation process is started by running SETUP.  Since SETUP is a
   Windows application, you must start Windows (if you haven't already done
   so), then select Files|Run from Program Manager's menu.  In the provided
   text box type C:\DOWNLOAD\SETUP and click <OK>.*  (* Where "DOWNLOAD"
   is the name of the directory containing the UnZipped files from
   WISWIN25.ZIP.)

2. SETUP assumes you will install to C:\WISDOM25.  You will be given the
   opportunity to change this assumption.  SETUP will also ask your
   permission to create a WISDOM Program Group and populate it with group
   files.  Unless you'd prefer to do this yourself, we'd suggest you answer
   "Yes." **

3. The entire SETUP procedure takes about four minutes.  Much of that time
   will be spent unpacking compressed files.  When SETUP is done, there
   will be about a six second delay when nothing seems to be happening, and
   then WISDOM OF THE AGES will start to run.

4. After the program has run, you can delete all the WISWIN files NOT in
   the target directory, such as WISWIN25.ZIP and WIS_PAK.EXE.


       **  Please wait three seconds before answering "Yes."  This dialog
        will briefly flash on the screen before the files have been
        unpacked.  Some 386 owners, with quick reflexes, have managed to
        answer "Yes" before the files have been unpacked.  If you wait
        three seconds, you're sure to answer "Yes" at the right time.
