HOW TO INSTALL THE DARK SKIES APPLICATION
=========================================

I have not yet gotten around to creating an automatic installation script for Dark Skies (sorry).
In the meantime, you can easily install Dark Skies by following the three steps outlined below.

Step 1
------
Using Windows Explorer, create a new directory on your hard drive.
Call it anything you want but the name "Dark Skies" is a suggestion.
(NOTE: do not use any quotes when naming a subdirectory)

Step 2
------
Move the DS002.ZIP file to that directory and unzip it.

Step 3
------
Double click on the Dark Skies.exe icon to start the program.

Step 4. Creating a Shortcut on your desktop
-------------------------------------------
You can create a shortcut of the Dark Skies.exe file on your desktop using 
Windows Explorer.  First, right-clicking on the Dark Skies application icon
(Dark Skies.exe) and choose "Create a Shortcut".  

You now move this shortcut to the desktop.


Step 5. Creating an Shortcut in yor Start Menu
----------------------------------------------
You can make an icon for Dark Skies in your Start menu by clicking Start and then clicking
on Settings and then click on Taskbar.

Choose the "Start Menu Programs" tab at the top of the dialogue that appears and then click
on the "Advanced" button.

The windows that pops up looks and behaves a lot like Windows Explorer.  Select a place in
the Programs folder for the Dark Skies application.

When you have selected your place, you can make a new shortcut for Dark Skies by choosing 
File-New-Shortcut from the menu items at the top of the window.  Follow the directions in the
wizard
