-
- Agile runs under Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.51 and above.
-
- DISK SPACE
-
- Agile will take up to 5MB of disk space when installed, depending
- on how many of the required system files are already present on your
- system.
-
- Approximately 7MB of space will be required during the installation.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- INSTALLING AGILE
- ----------------
-
- Agile installs into "C:\Program Files\Agile", or an alternative
- directory which you may specify. It may also install some additional
- files into your Windows directories if they are not already present.
-
- During installation, Agile records details of all files and other
- changes made to your system, such as registy entries, and provides
- an uninstall program so that the entire installation can be removed
- easily.
-
- Installing Agile is simple, but the precise details depend on the
- form in which you have obtained it. Agile can be obtained on disk,
- in partially compressed form, or downloaded in a compressed .ZIP
- archive file.
-
- ZIP ARCHIVE
-
- If you download the software you will receive it in a .ZIP archive
- file which must be extracted before you can install Agile. You must
- extract the software from the archive into a temporary directory,
- using a program such as PKUNZIP (for DOS) or WinZip (for Windows).
-
- It is beyond the scope of this document to explain how to use
- these (or other archive extraction programs), so please refer to
- the documentation for the particular archive extraction program
- you have available.
-
- Having extracted the files into a temporary directory, you can now
- run "setup.exe". Now see "AFTER INSTALLATION" below.
-
- AFTER INSTALLATION
-
- The installation program creates items on the Start Menu for starting
- Agile and accessing help and readme files.
-
- UNINSTALLING AGILE
-
- To remove an installation of Agile:
- 1) Open Control Panel from the Start Menu using the "Settings" sub menu.
- 2) Choose "Add/Remove Software" which will open a properties dialog.
- 3) Choose "Agile HTML Editor" within the dialog.
-
- IMPORTANT
-
- Before you forget, please make a backup copy of the Agile
- installation files. If you don't, you are bound to need it!

- COMPWARE
- --------
-
- We are a small business based in Cambridge UK, dedicated to producing
- software which works hard so that you don't have to.
-
- You will find that a lot of attention is paid to the user interface and
- the finer details of how you want to operate in our software. This is
- because every product has been produced for our own use, and so has had
- vocal feedback from users since its conception.
-
- We also want to hear what you think.
-
- Compware started in 1982, selling peripherals and software, and realised
- immediately that the only way to succeed in business is to identify what
- people will find useful and concentrate all your efforts on maintaining
- that position. From very early on, we started producing our own software,
- so that we were able to design the products for users needs rather than
- just pick the best from a not always so wonderful bunch.
-
- TELETEXT
-
- In addition to the on-line world of the Web, we also specialise in software
- which makes the most of the Teletext broadcasting system. If you use Teletext
- and don't think that it works as well as it could, you need look no further
- than our web pages (see CONTACT POINTS below). Take a look at the TvText
- Teletext Viewer for the best Windows Teletext sofware available.
