-
- INSTALLING WIN32S FROM PW1118.EXE

-
- The following are instructions for installing Win32s if you have a
- modem and have downloaded the Pw1118.exe file.
-
- The Win32s files are provided in a compressed state in the Pw1118.exe
- file, which is a self-extracting file.
-
- 1. Create a directory on your hard disk for the decompressed files.
- For example, you could create the directory "Install" by entering
- the following at the command prompt:
-
- mkdir install
-
- 2. Copy Pw1118.exe to the new Install directory, change directories to
- the Install directory, and type the following at the command
- prompt:
-
- pw1118
-
- This decompresses the Win32s files into an installation layout (setup
- program) in the Install directory.
-
- To Install Win32s on Your System
- --------------------------------
-
- 1. Run Windows and start the File Manager.
-
- 2. Open the Install directory (the directory created in step 1 of the
- setup instructions above).
-
- 3. Double-click Setup.exe. The setup program installs Win32s and
- restarts the system to update the system files.
-
- Win32s is now installed or upgraded on your system, and any
- obsolete Win32s files have been removed.
