- INSTALLING NEODRAW
- ------------------
-
- Before you can begin using NeoDraw you must run the NeoDraw Setup
- program from Windows. In most cases you cannot simply copy the
- software onto your hard drive. The files on the NeoSoft
- distribution disks are stored in a special compressed form to save
- space. The Setup program is the only way to insure that NeoDraw is
- properly unpacked and installed. To install NeoDraw, follow the
- steps below:
-
- NOTE: Depending on where you obtained your copy of this
- program, you may not need to run Setup - so don't panic if
- you can't find it. If you have the files NEODRAW.EXE,
- NEODRAW.DLL and OPTIMUM.FW you have enough to run the
- program. Just copy those file to your hard drive in a
- directory of your choice and launch it from the Windows
- Program Manager, File Manager, Windows 95 Explorer, etc.
-
- 1. Start Windows.
-
- 2. If you received NeoDraw on diskette, place it into the floppy
- drive now. If you downloaded NeoDraw in archived format, use
- PKUNZIP to uncompress the files to a working directory on your
- hard disk.
-
- 3. Activate the Windows Program Manager.
-
- 4. Select "Run..." from the Program Manager's "File" menu. If you
- are using Windows 95, the "Run" option can be selected from the
- "Start" menu.
-
- 5. In the "Command Line" field enter one of the following:
-
- - If you placed the NeoDraw diskette into drive A:, type:
- A:\SETUP
-
- - If you placed the NeoDraw diskette into drive B:, type:
- B:\SETUP
-
- - If you downloaded the NeoDraw, type: C:\DIRNAME\SETUP
- (Remember to replace DIRNAME with the name of the directory
- where you uncompressed NeoDraw's files.)
-
- 6. Follow the instructions on the screen.

- CUSTOMER SERVICES & TECHNICAL SUPPORT
- -------------------------------------
-
- NeoSoft provides its registered software customers with free
- technical support. We also provide limited technical support to
- persons evaluating our products during the 30 day evaluation
- period.
-
- We do, however, strongly encourage people to register. Software
- development and support is very expensive and we need your help if
- we are to continue to provide quality programs at affordable
- prices. If you haven't already, please take a few moments to
- register. This will assure you of eligibility for technical
- support, product update notification, special discounts, new
- product announcements, etc.

- However, if you are experiencing problems, please contact our
- technical support department so that we can solve your problem
- BEFORE you register. Registration may solve many problems but it
