- CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION
-
- Here is how to get GIM up and running quickly for the first
- time. The automatic installation is recommended, but you can
- do the manual installation instead if you choose.
-
-
- AUTOMATIC INSTALLATION...

-
-
- MANUAL INSTALLATION...
-
- I Create a subdirectory for GIM.

- II Run the GIM_313.EXE self-extracting archive in that
- directory to produce the following files:

- GIM3.OVR -- Overlay file (associated with GIM3.EXE)
- GIM.ICO -- GIM icon for use with Microsoft Windows

-
- LINCOLN1.GD -- These are two sample GIM folders.

- LINCOLN1.GI -- These need not be in the directory you
- LINCOLN1.GN -- created in step one; they can be in any
- LINCOLN1.GP -- directory.
- LINCOLN2.GD

- -- in the directory you created in step one.

- -- available.

- -- any directory, but we recommend placing it
- -- in the directory you created in step one.
