take the sierra.ini file and copy it to your windows directory
ex:  c:\windows
     c:\win95  
                . . . .
edit the sierra.ini that is in the windows directory with a text editor.

change the line under section [TIMWIN]
                               InstallPath=x:\sierra\timwin
                      so that 
                               InstallPath=where your game is located on your disk.
                  for example
                               InstallPath=c:\sierra\timwin

if you dont change this setting, the game will still play, but you won't be able to save.
the game does run without the ini file though. you wouldn't know the difference,
	but if you are really one for ini files then go ahead and use it.

(note:the guest position in the game never saves when you exit)

then copy the game into a directory that matches the ini or if you have none, 
                                                               just dump it somewhere.

or- just dont bother with the ini, then you can put the game in any directory 
you want. easier that way, more portable too.  :)

i have found that it doesnt like to be put in a directory with spaces in the name.
