===== Installation =====================================
Because Crossdown is a Windows application, the installation procedure
is quite simple. The package includes the file, "SETUP.EXE", which
automates the entire process. You will need about 2MB of available disk
space on the hard drive on which you plan to install Crossdown.
The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
Crossdown.
INSTALLING FROM DISKETTE
To install from diskette, you need to perform the following steps.
o Place Crossdown distribution diskette in the appropriate
diskette drive.
o From the Windows Main Menu, select FILE, then select RUN.
In the Command Line box, type the drive letter containing
the distribution disk followed by "SETUP.EXE." For example,
if the distribution disk is in drive A, type "A:SETUP.EXE."
o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
If you downloaded Crossdown from a BBS (or received it in the form of
archive files from some other source), you will need to perform the
following steps.
o Extract the contents of the archive file(s) in a temporary
directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this
varies, depending on the form in which you received the package.
In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means
that you already have the necessary tools and knowledge to
perform this step. If not, you should be able to obtain
directions for this from the same source from which you received
the package.
o From the Windows Main Menu, select FILE, then select RUN.
In the Command Line box, type the pathname of the temporary
directory containing the Crossdown files followed by
"SETUP.EXE." For example, if the temporary directory is
C:\TEMPDIR, type "C:\TEMPDIR\SETUP.EXE."
o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed Crossdown
(C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
YOU'RE READY TO GO
Once you've completed the installation, you can launch Crossdown from
the Windows desktop by double-clicking on its icon.
