                               Records of the Realm

                         Installing the Evaluation Version

          --------------------------------------------------------------------

                         - Hardware and software requirements -

                    IBM or compatible PC with 512K RAM
                    Requires 260 Kb of disk space
                    Records of the Realm can be run from a hard 
                         or a floppy disk
                    DOS version 3.3 or later

          --------------------------------------------------------------------
                             
                                      Installation

          Put the distribution disk in the A: drive and type:

                                         a:install

          (If you put it in the B: drive, type "b:install".)
          
          Install will ask for one or two items:
                         
                      1   the target drive, and
                      2   the target directory (if copying to a hard disk)

          If you install Records of the Realm to a floppy disk, you will not 
          be asked for a target directory.

          After specifying the drive (and directory, in the event you're
          installing to a hard drive), Install will ask if you need to make 
          any changes.  If you need to change an entry, press <Y> or the up
          arrow.

                                ---------------------------

          Install offers \MYREALM as the default directory.  You can change 
          it to your liking of course, but it is recommended that all of My 
          Little Realm's programs be put in the same directory.

          If you give Install the name of a directory that already exists, it
          will put Records of the Realm into that existing directory.  

          Warning:  You should only put Records of the Realm into a directory
          with other My Little Realm programs.  They are made to interact 
          properly.  If Records of the Realm is your first MLR program, you 
          should put it into its own directory.

                              Printing the Documentation

          To print Records of the Realm's documentation, go to the Records of
          the Realm directory (MYREALM is used as an example) and direct the 
          printout of RECORDS.TXT to the printer using the "> PRN" option as 
          shown below.  Be sure your printer is on.

          -------------------------------------------------------------------

                                Printing an Order Form

          To print an order form, go to the Records of the Realm directory 
          and direct the printout of REGISTER.TXT to the printer using the 
          "> PRN" option as shown below.  Be sure your printer is on.

            ---------------------------------------------------------------
            Step | English directions      | DOS commands

             1   | go to MYREALM directory | CD\MYREALM              <enter>
             2   | print order form        | TYPE REGISTER.TXT > PRN <enter>
            ---------------------------------------------------------------

          You can also print an order form by pressing <$>, the dollar sign,
          in the Options Window of Records of the Realm.
