                        LinkWay Live README File 

Welcome
-------

Welcome to IBM LinkWay Live.  To install LinkWay Live, just put LinkWay Live 
Diskette One in drive A:, then type A: and press <enter>, then type INSTALL and
press <enter>.  Follow the simple on-screen instructions to install LinkWay. 

The remainder of the information in this README file is intended for the 
experienced user who may wish to know more of the technical details on how 
LinkWay Live is installed.  It would enable such a user to install LinkWay Live
in a non-standard manner, or in a situation in which the standard installation
program cannot be used. Most users may ignore the rest of this information 
and need not read further.


LinkWay Live Installation
-------------------------

The following sequence of DOS commands shows how to install LinkWay Live 
without the aid of the supplied INSTALL program.  Unless you plan to install in
an unusual configuration, you should use the provided INSTALL program, as 
documented in the User's Guide, to perform the installation.  The following 
commands are provided for the benefit of those who can not install via the 
standard method. These commands assume installation from a diskette in drive A:
to a hardfile, drive C:.  It also assumes that LinkWay Live is to be installed 
in the default directory, \LLHOME.  By modifying the sequence below, you can 
install in a different directory name, or a different disk drive, or could 
modify the installation by skipping some steps which load unwanted drivers.

LinkWay Live proper is installed in a directory, normally named \LLHOME, which 
has 8 subdirectories.  The name \LLHOME can be changed, provided the LLHOME 
environment symbol is set to indicate the new name.  However, the names of the 
subdirectories may not be changed.  The tutorial is installed in directory 
\LLTUTOR; it is optional and need not be installed if disk space is short. The 
directory \LLWORK is just a working directory in which you store LinkWay 
folders you create.  Any directory may be used, and the files installed into 
that directory are optional -- they are samples, pictures and movie files which
are not required for operation.

The files in PROG.ZIP and FONTS.ZIP must be installed.  The ones in FOLDERS.ZIP
are not really required, but without them there is no MAIN folder, no tool 
folders and no sample folders.  TEXT.ZIP contains the online help files 
(optional) and a lot of online DOC files which are not required, but are very 
valuable information. OBJECTS.ZIP contains the tool and paste-in objects 
(optional). BIN.ZIP contains movie players and other binary files (optional). 
AUDIODD.BIN contains the audio device drivers for ACPA, Sound Blaster, etc. 
(optional).   MMOTION.BIN is the driver for the IBM M-Motion Video Adapter 
(optional).  SUPP.ZIP contains some of the extra utilities provided with 
LinkWay (optional). LASLINK.ZIP contains videodisc player drivers (optional). 
MOVIES.ZIP contains sample animated movies (optional).  PICTURES.BIN contains 
sample picture files (optional). TUTOR.ZIP is the LinkWay tutorial (optional).
UGUIDE.ZIP contains files associated with the examples in the User's Guide 
(optional).  The DVIxxx.ZIP files contain the support for the Action Media II,
and should be left out on any system without that adapter.

The following DOS commands demonstrate how to install LinkWay Live without
the aid of the INSTALL program.
