                       Special Note Regarding CD-ROM Installation

          If you are installing from a CD-ROM ...
          The files on your CD-ROM are not compressed, so you can see the 
          look of a program right from the CD-ROM by typing the program's 
          .EXE name at the DOS prompt.  You will not be able to save any 
          files you create in this manner, however.  To do that, you must 
          install the program to a floppy or a hard disk.  It is recommended
          that you install this program to a floppy disk if you wish to test 
          it thoroughly.  That way, the files you create can be copied to 
          your hard disk should you decide to keep it later on.

          You can install this program from your CD-ROM to a floppy disk, 
          test it as thoroughly as you like, and then if you decide to keep 
          it,  you can install it to your hard disk by running the Install 
          found on your floppy disk, just as if the floppy disk were a 
          distribution disk that you purchased from a disk vendor.  Install 
          will copy over all of this program's files, and if you've created 
          any data files, it will notify you and ask if you want those copied
          over as well.

                         - Hardware and software requirements -

                    IBM or compatible PC with 640K RAM
                    Requires 310 Kb of disk space
                    Calling Cards can be run from a hard or a floppy disk.
                    DOS version 3.3 or later.

                    Calling Cards requires a dot-matrix printer

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

                                     Installation

          Put the distribution disk in the A: drive and type:

                                       a:install

          (If you put it in the B: drive, type "b:install".)
          
          Install will ask for one or two items:

                      1   the target drive, and
                      2   the target directory (if copying to a hard disk)

          If you install Calling Cards to a floppy disk, you will not be 
          asked for a target directory.

          After specifying the drive (and directory, in the event you're
          installing to a hard drive), Install will ask if you need to make 
          any changes.  If you need to change an entry, press <Y> or the up
          arrow.

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

          Install offers \MYREALM as the default directory.  You can change 
          it to your liking of course, but it is recommended that all of My 
          Little Realm's programs be put in the same directory.

          If you give Install the name of a directory that already exists, it
          will put Calling Cards into that existing directory.  

          Warning:  You should only put Calling Cards into a directory with 
          other My Little Realm programs.  They are made to interact 
          properly.  If Calling Cards is your first MLR program, you should
          put it into its own directory.

                              Printing the Documentation

          To print Calling Cards's documentation, go to the Calling Cards 
          directory (MYREALM is used as an example) and direct the printout 
          of CALLING.TXT to the printer using the "> PRN" option as shown 
          below.  Be sure your printer is on.

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

            ---------------------------------------------------------------
             1   | go to MYREALM directory | CD\MYREALM             <enter>
             2   | print documentation     | TYPE CALLING.TXT > PRN <enter>
            ---------------------------------------------------------------
          -------------------------------------------------------------------

                                Printing an Order Form

          To print an order form, go to the Calling Cards directory and 
          direct the printout of REGISTER.TXT to the printer using the 
          "> PRN" option as shown below.  Be sure your printer is on.

            ---------------------------------------------------------------
            Step | English directions      | DOS commands
            ---------------------------------------------------------------
             1   | go to MYREALM directory | CD\MYREALM              <enter>
             2   | print order form        | TYPE REGISTER.TXT > PRN <enter>
            ---------------------------------------------------------------
          
          You can also print an order form by pressing <$>, the dollar sign,
          in the Options Window of Calling Cards.
