** Installing PROFILE1 ** 

1.  Verify system compatibility
    a. Operates with all IBM PC's and compatible.  System must have 512 KB
       or more RAM (with at least 320 KB available after installing memory
       resident software).

    b. Verify that your CONFIG.SYS file contains the following lines:

       FILES = 20
       BUFFERS = 8       [or more]
                
2.  Create a new directory on your hard disk, and make this the current
    directory:

       MKDIR \PROFILE                    <ENTER>
       CHDIR \PROFILE                    <ENTER>
  
3.  Uncompress the program, files, and documentation onto your hard disc:

       A:PROF1ZIP                        <ENTER>
    
    PROF1ZIP.EXE is a "self-extracting" archive containing PROFILE1.EXE and
    DOCUMENTSTION in compressed form.  

4.  Print out the complete documentation by typing:

       PRINT PROFILE1.DOC                <ENTER>

****************************************************************************

** Starting PROFILE1 **

1.  Make the new \PROFILE directory the current directory:

       CHDIR \PROFILE

2.  Start the program.

       PROFILE1                          <ENTER>

3.  You will be asked to specify some drives.  If your configuration
    includes a CD-ROM reader, you must specify a CD-ROM drive letter.  This
    is the letter you assigned when you first installed the reader; often,
    the reader is assigned the letter "L".  If you are useing a CD-ROM, you
    also will be asked to specify a "work drive."  This is any drive on your
    hard disc (e.g., C:, D:), which PROFILE1 uses to store a temporary file.
