Before you run the installation procedure, please read the following 
instructions CAREFULLY. 
 
Requirements: 
------------ 
(1) 4M RAM 
(2) 10M (Min) available SEPARATE Hard Disk Partition (other than your boot 
    partition) 
(3) An Internet Service Provider with PPP - SLIP acceptable but 
    untested. 
(3) Mono Graphics mode (ST High, Falcon, TT High) 
(4) ST UNZIP Program, TOS/GEM based text-editor (recommend: VI.TTP) 
 
Recommendations: 
--------------- 
(1) 14.4 Modem - Appropriate Modem RTS/CTS patch 
(2) A Boot manager (SuberBoot, XBoot, etc.) 
(3) Recent version of ADHI.  (Tested: 6.061)

Testing: 
------- 
This system has been tested on the following system. 
	1040 STe	- 4M RAM, SyQuest 44, ST High 
	TT030   	- 12M RAM, SCSI drive (external), TT High 
	Falcon		- 4M RAM, Internal IDE HD, ST High 
On all machines ADHI 6.061 was used and we connected to two different 
Internet Providers with a dynamic PPP connection (Internex Online and  
the University of Waterloo). 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have not MSA's the disks, since each disk has 1 or 2 files on it (720K).
The main reason I did this is so that you can put the proper files on the
proper disks yourself based on whether you have a 720K or 1.44M floppy.
There are 2 setup scripts provided (one for 720K, one for 1.44M)

720K Installation Disks
-----------------------
INSTALL.ZIP comes on the first disk in the TAF library (ie. disk #1) but
ends up needing to be copied to your boot partition.  Since this is a 
download version - you do not need a floppy for this file if you are
downloading directly to your hard disk.  If you plan to put this in a
disk library of some sort, please include INSTALL.ZIP and this file
(README.1ST) on a floppy labelled Disk 1. 

You will need 6 more floppies labelled Disks 2-7

The following files should be put on the floppies:

Disk 1 - INSTALL.ZIP ; INSTALL.TXT ; README.1ST 
Disk 2 - 2a.tgz ; 2b.tgz 
Disk 3 - 3.tgz
Disk 4 - 4a.tgz ; 4b.tgz
Disk 5 - 5.tgz
Disk 6 - 6.tgz
Disk 7 - 7a.tgz ; 7b.tgz


1.44M Installation
------------------
For the 1.44M setup you will need 3 floppies labelled Disks 1-3. If you
are making 1.44M distribution disks for a library please include this
file (README.1ST) on Disk 1. 

The disks must be set up as follows:

Disk 1 - README.1ST ; INSTALL.TXT ; 2a.tgz ; 2b.tgz ; 3.tgz
Disk 2 - 4a.tgz ; 4b.tgz ; 5.tgz
Disk 3 - 6.tgz ; 7a.tgz ; 7b.tgz ; INSTALL.ZIP


------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the disks have been set up correctly (this should already be the
case if you got them from a library) print the INSTALL.TXT file on
Disk 1 and read it very carefully before trying to start any installtion.
A complete set of intructions are included in that file.

If you can't find INSTALL.TXTon the disks, it is also included in the
INSTALL.ZIP file.
