    Installation:
    If you are reading this, you presumably also have the rest of the files
    you need to set up hooked.
    They are either on a disk that you have inserted into drive A:
    (or perhaps B:) or they are in a directory on your hard drive.
    There should be about 50 files, give or take a couple. :)

    Step 1 Run a program called SETUP.EXE. If your are familiar with
    "Please run SETUP.EXE" then just do it!
    If not, here's one way: Use the Program Manager.
    Click on the File menu item. When the list of commands appears,
    click on Run. An input box will now pop up.
    If our files are in your A drive, type A:SETUP.
    If they are in your B drive, type B:SETUP.
    If they are in a directory called C:\HKTEMP, then type C:\HKTEMP\SETUP.)
    Now press Enter or click on OK..

    Step 2 The program you have just started will groan, click, beep,
    and whistle, and finally display a box asking you where
    (i.e, in which directory) you want to install hooked software.
    We suggest C:\hooked.  However, you may use any valid MSDOS directory
    name.

    Step 3 Now, unless some errors are detected, the software will return
    (in a while) and tell you that the installation is complete.
    At this point, you will see that we have added a group to your desktop
    Program Manager.  This is the hooked group.
    Installation is complete.


    First Time?
    You will find a HOOKeD icon in the hooked group, on your Desktop.
    Double click on the icon to get started.

    HOOKeD will ask you whether you want a demo, or whether you have
    been assigned  a valid username and password (assigned by our
    staff at hooked.net).

    Once you answer, hooked will setup a new userid for you, using either
    your userid or the Demo userid.

    Now, all you need to do is setup the phone (Phone Setup) and Dial.
    Phone Setup is easier than you think.
    From the hooked Main window, click on Options.
    From the proffered list, click on Dialing and modem setup.

    Click on the appropriate buttons for Modem Speed and Comm Port.
    If you do not know what values to use, click on Don't Know.
    Select an area code, if you are dialing from outside the 415 area code
    in the USA.





    HOOKeD, cont.
    Dialing hooked is even easier. From the main hooked window, click on
    Dial. If you have been assigned a userid you can create it now, by
    clicking on the New button. Otherwise, you can select your userid
    (or select Demo). Click on Dial.

    After more clicks, hums and whirrs, you will find yourself connected to
    hooked.net.

    More Help can be obtained once you have started the software.
    Just click on any of hooked forms, and press the F1 key
    (or click on Help).

    Oh-Oh
    If you are having trouble getting started,  call us! hooked.net can be
    reached at 415-281-6550.  If you like, you can send email to
    staff@hooked.net, instead.

    Some troubleshooting tips:
    1. Message "Out-of-date copy of xxx" when attempting to start hooked.
    This probably means that another application has created a copy of xxx
    in the c:\windows directory.  The safest thing to do is call us.
    If you prefer, you can rename the offending file  (to get it out of
    the way) and try again.

    2. Modem won't dial. Play with the following settings:
    Modem Speed, Modem Port. Use the Windows Control Panel - this is usually
    in the Program Manager's Main group to check the modem port.
    The setting is under Ports. Ensure that the speed of your modem port
    matches the speed of your modem. Try changing Flow Control to None.
    Try the Init string that you normally use with your modem. Call us.

    You may want to drag other communications programs into this group
    and use them interactively while surfing.
    Call HOOKeD at 415-281-6550 for account and user/pwrd or more
    information.
    Important: You can use a local connection to call our server when an
    account is established and use RLOGIN and ACTIVATE. But more on that
    later. Give us a call!
