*** This is the installation for the 32-bit OS/2 version of DeScribe ***

To install the OS/2 version run the SETUP program:

  From a full screen or windowed command prompt:
    Type "A:SETUP" to run the installation program.

  From the desktop:
    Double-click on the icon for the floppy disk drive (e.g. A:). Then,
    double-click on the SETUP.EXE program.

Use the mouse to select an installation option from the menu. If you
don't have a mouse, press and release the ALT key to switch to the action bar.
Then type "O" to bring down the Options menu. Then type a mnemonic letter
to select the installation option.

    Select "Install DeScribe" to install some or all of the DeScribe files.

    Select "Delete DeScribe" to delete some or all of the DeScribe files.

    Select "Exit Installation" to stop the installation program.

When you select Install, the program displays a dialog with check boxes
for features to install. To enable or disable a feature, click on the name
with the mouse. If you don't have a mouse, use the up/down arrow keys to
highlight the feature and press the space bar.

If you choose to install the text import/export libraries, the program
displays a dialog which lists all the available formats. Select one or more
formats from the list and click OK, or click All to install all of them.

The program also prompts you for the destination directory (typically
C:\DeScribe). You can change the directory if you wish.

The program checks to see that you have sufficient space on the
destination disk before proceeding with the installation. If there is
not enough space, the program displays a dialog which tells you how much
space you need and asks you if you want to proceed anyway.

The program places the DeScribe.exe file in the destination directory.
It also creates several subdirectories.

    Data            Directory for your documents
    DLL             Assorted dynamic link libraries
    Icons           Directory for custom icon files
    Inset           Files needed for graphics conversion library
    Help            Directory for custom help files
    Layouts         Directory for layout files
    LLS             Files needed for spell check, thesaurus, etc.
    Macros          Directory for macros
    Temp            Directory for temporary files
    Tutorial        Tutorial files
    UsrDicts        Directory for user dictionaries
    W4W             Files needed for text conversion library

DeScribe creates temporary disk files when it is running. By default, these
files are placed in the Temp directory.

The DeScribe.exe file, as well as the files in the DLL, LLS, Inset and W4W
directories are read-only. They are not modified by DeScribe. The files
in the Layouts, Data, Macros, Temp and UsrDicts directories may be modified
by DeScribe as a result of user actions.

DeScribe expects to find the DLL, Inset and W4W subdirectories
in the same directory as the DeScribe.exe file.

The program also creates a file DWP40.dat and places in in the same
directory as the other system .INI files. On OS/2 systems this is usually
the C:\OS2 directory. The file contains preference and configuration
information used by DeScribe. This file may be modified at any time.

DeScribe creates a file DWP40.bmp in the same directory as the DWP40.dat
file. This bitmap file contains an image of the startup logo and is
automatically created the first time you run DeScribe. Having the logo in
a bitmap reduces the startup time the next time you run DeScribe.
