'
'
' XBasic installation is discussed at the bottom of this file.
' XBasic will not work properly or at all if you install it improperly.
'
' After you start this software for the first time, select HelpNotes
' from the menu bar in the main window and read the release notes for
' this and some previous versions. The release notes describe known
' bugs, problems, and incompatibilities in this software.
'
' Also select HelpNew to see what features have been added recently.
'
' In fact, review all the Help menu entries to find lots of helpful info.
'
' XBasic is subject to GPL and GPLL licenses, copies of which are
' included with this distribution in files gpl.txt and gpll.txt for
' your reference. Which license applies to a particular file is
' specified in the file. a*.x sample programs are public domain.

' ##### install XBasic #####
' ############################
'
' This following is the installation process for Windows XBasic only.
'
' All XBasic files are packaged in a single self-extracting file,
' probably named "xbpro.exe" or "xbpro.zip". Both files are the same,
' but some versions and/or configurations of Netscape browsers trash
' the file during downloading by adding a 0x0D byte before every 0x0A
' byte in the file. If you downloaded the ".zip" file, you can simply
' rename the extent from ".zip" to ".exe". In a DOS window, enter:
'
' ren xbpro.zip xbpro.exe
'
' To install Windows XBasic, find xbpro.exe with Windows Explorer
' and double click on it, or start a DOS window and enter "xbpro".
' You must extract into the root directory of one of your hard drives,
' for example "c:\" or "d:\". Make SURE "recreate directories" is
' checked in the window the self-extraction program displays.
'
' This will create an \xb directory and put ALL XBasic files in
' the \xb directory and subdirectories of the \xb directory.
'
' The installation process does not alter the Windows system registry.
'
' IMPORTANT : Windows95 has a bug that makes it necessary to create
' a duplicate copy of \xb\xb.dll called \xb\xb.dup - do not forget.
