- We recommend that you archive all the files on disk 1 (see below) in a
- file called EVP200A.*, and all the files on disk 2 (see below) in a file
- called EVP200B.*, where the "*" stands for (ZIP, ARC, LZH, EXE, etc.).

- BBS EVP200A and EVP200B files are not the same as the vendor EVP200A.EXE

- NOTE TO CD-ROM VENDORS
- ----------------------
-
- If you wish to put EnVision Publisher on a CD-ROM in uncompressed format so

- writeable hard drive (usually drive C:). Please see file EVP2.INI for
- information on how to do this. Make sure that you test the program by
- opening an existing document and adding new pages to ensure that your
- specified path works properly.
