DO IT YOURSELF GUIDE TO INSTALLING PMVIEW

If you don't have REXX installed, or if you don't want to run
INSTALL.CMD, please follow these steps to set up PMView "by hand."

These instructions assume you have an unzip utility, and that you know
how to use it. 

1) Make the directory where you want to put PMView, and unzip the ZIP
   file there. (If you're reading this file, you've probably already
   done this.)

2) Create a desktop icon the way you usually do. You may want to
   set the associations for the file types you use. For instance,
   to associate JPEG files with PMView, right-clock on the PMView
   icon, open the settings notebook, go to the _Association page, enter
   "*.JPG" (without quotes) in the New name field, then click the
   A_dd >> button. You'll have to do this once for each file type.

   If you associate BMP with PMView, it's probably a good idea to
   remove the BMP association from the Icon Editor (and ICONEDIT.EXE).

   It's probably also a good idea to set up PMView to start a new
   session each time you double-click on the icon. To do this, go to
   the Window page of the settings notebook, and select _Create new
   window at the bottom of the page.

3) To set up filters, create a directory for them and unzip FILTERS.ZIP
   there. For instance:

      md filters   
      cd filters
      unzip ..\filters

   Be sure to also set the PMVIEW_FILTER environment variable with the
   path where the filters are (see below).

4) Set the 3 environment variables for PMView. For instance,

      set PMVIEW_INI=e:\pmview\pmview.ini
      set PMVIEW_HELP=e:\pmview\
      set PMVIEW_FILTER=e:\pmview\filters\

   (Of course, you should replace "e:\pmview" with the path where you
   put PMView.)

   We STRONGLY recommend that you add these 3 lines to your CONFIG.SYS
   file.

5) If you want PMView to register itself with OS/2 as a TAP client, enter
   the following line at an OS/2 command prompt:

      PMVIEW /TAP=REG

   This will write PMView's location, etc., to your OS/2 system INI file.
   (This is the ONLY time PMView will ever write to your system files.) If
   you don't have a TAP server program (such as the LiveWire communications
   program) or don't want to view images while they're being downloaded, you
   can skip this step. You can also do this at a later time.

That's it! If you've changed your CONFIG.SYS, then shutdown, reboot,
and enjoy.
