                                  Public Library

                         Installing the Evaluation Version

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

                         - Hardware and software requirements -

                    IBM or compatible PC with 512K RAM
                    Requires 267 Kb of disk space
                    Public Library 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 Public Library 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 Public Library into that existing directory.  

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

                              Printing the Documentation

          To print Public Library's documentation, go to the Public Library 
          directory (MYREALM is used as an example) and direct the printout 
          of PUBLIC.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 documentation     | TYPE PUBLIC.TXT > PRN  <enter>
            ---------------------------------------------------------------
          -------------------------------------------------------------------

                                Printing an Order Form

          To print an order form, go to the Public Library 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 Public Library.
