INSTALLING COELI - STELLA 2000
                    ------------------------------


         Windows automatic installation
         ------------------------------

         Your Stella package is installed simply by double clicking on
         the file SETUP.EXE once you have unzipped the contents of
         Stella.zip to a folder of your choosing.

         We recommend the excellent WinZip utility for unpacking
         Stella's main .zip archive. You can get the latest version
         of Winzip from

         http://www.winzip.com

         If you have not already done so, we would additionally
         recommend that, prior to running SETUP.EXE, you use Explorer
         to create a new folder called Astronomy inside the Windows 95
         Start Menu folder. Just navigate to Windows\Start Menu and
         click with the right mouse button on some unoccupied space in
         Explorer's right-hand window. You'll see a popup menu, one of
         whose options will be |New|. Select |Folder| from the submenu,
         and name it 'Astronomy' or some other appropriate title. After
         setup, you will be able to manually move the shortcut named
         Stella 2000 into this new folder for a tidier and more compact
         Start menu.

         Tip: when in doubt about the Win95 Explorer's file-listing,
         just press [F5] to refresh its display. Very often, an item you
         thought wasn't there will magically appear!

         NB: IF INSTALLING OVER A PRIOR VERSION OF STELLA (WHETHER
         TRIAL OR REGISTERED), FIRST COPY ANY OBSERVATION LOG FILES
         (.STL) TO A SAFE PLACE BEFORE PROCEDING WITH THE REMOVAL OF
         THE OLD VERSION VIA THE CONTROL PANEL.

         WHEN YOU HAVE REMOVED THE OLD INSTALLATION, YOU MAY THEN
         CONFIDENTLY PROCEED WITH THE SETUP OF THE NEW VERSION OF
         STELLA 2000, FINALLY COPYING BACK THE LOG FILES WHEN THIS HAS
         COMPLETED TO YOUR SATISFACTION.

         THE SETUP UTILITY LEAVES ALL PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED FILES OF THE
         SAME NAME INTACT, SO WITHOUT FIRST REMOVING THE LAST
         INSTALLATION, A NEW COPY OF THE PACKAGE CANNOT BE INSTALLED.

         Stella may be uninstalled at any time simply by opening
         Control Panel from the Settings entry in your Start Menu, and
         double- clicking on the item Add/Remove Programs. You will be
         shown a list of programs currently installed on your system,
         from which you should select the item 'Stella 2000' for
         automatic removal.

         The complete Stella 2000 package contains a number of text
         files, all designed to help you get started with the minimum
         of fuss. Have a browse through any item with the .TXT or .RTF
         extension if you've the time. Some of these will necessitate
         the selection of |Word Wrap| in Notepad or whichever text
         editor you elect to view them in.

         If you encounter a serious installation problem, please do not
         hesitate to get in touch.
