IMPORTANT!! IMPORTANT!! ESSENTIAL!! READ THIS!! DO NOT SKIP!!

TO INSTALL:

1) If you have just downloaded the shareware version of 
TALL SHIPS, unzip the archive to a directory of choice. 
Then Fstart Windows, if you have not done so already, and open File 
Manager. Choose Run ... and type in the correct path statement 
for install.exe. Click on OK and the short installation process 
will begin. You may also open the directory and file display for 
the directory of choice and double click on install.exe to start 
the installation.

2) If you have the registered version on 3 1/2" floppies, put 
disk 1 into the 3 1/2" floppy drive which is either drive A
or B depending upon your configuration. Open File Manager and
select Run. Type A:\install or B:\install and click OK. The
installation dialogs are self explanatory and involve only a
few very simple decisions. You may also open the directory and
file display for your floppy drive and double click upon
install.exe to begin the installation procedure.  

3) THIS SCREEN SAVER INSTALLS ITSELF INTO THE DESKTOP ITEM OF 
THE WINDOWS CONTROL PANEL. It does not make a program group upon
installation. MAKE CERTAIN YOUR MONITOR IS SET TO 256 COLOR PALETTE!
Open the Control Panel and double click upon Desktop. Activate the 
screen saver and set its timing through the Screen Saver dialog within 
the Desktop item. You may preview it with Test and set an optional 
password protection with Setup.


3) YOU MUST READ README.TXT which is automatically displayed within 
the Windows Notepad upon the completion of a successful installation. 
DO NOT SKIP! READ THIS TEXT FILE!! And print it out for further 
reference: it contains a wealth of information. Readme.txt contains 
essential information about configuring the screen saver through Desktop 
in the Windows Control Panel, registration form, license agreement,
and a file list. All of this information except the files list may
also be found as separate text files on disk 3 but these files do not 
install onto your hard drive.                                          


IMPORTANT!! IF YOU ARE A REGISTERED USER, READ THIS!!

4) If you edit the default destination during the installation
of TALL SHIPS, DO NOT INSTALL A REGISTERED VERSION INTO THE SAME 
DIRECTORY AS YOUR SHAREWARE VERSION. If you accidentally did so, 
you have found out that the slide show is immobilized and you do 
not have a functioning screen saver. Follow this procedure to 
re-install TALL SHIPS.

        a) Delete all files and the TALL1SW directory.
        b) Delete the INI AND SCRIPT FILES IN YOUR WINDOWS
        DIRECTORY. There will be two such files: tall####.scr 
        and tall####.ini. This operation will also delete
        TALL1SW from the list of screen savers in the Desktop 
        Item of the Windows Control Panel. 
        c) Restart Windows.
        d) Reinstall TALL SHIPS registered version.
