                           Installation Instructions
                          ---------------------------

** WARNING **
If you have Alarm, only version 2.22 or later is compatible with
the version of pmsutil.dll that is supplied with this product.
Please contact Perpetual Motion Software for an updated version.
** WARNING **

1. Copy firework.scr and firework.hlp to your windows directory.
   (For example, "c:\windows".)

2. The .dll file must be on the path when you start Microsoft Windows(TM)
   or in the same directory as the .scr.  (If you have more than one
   product from Perpetual Motion Software, please note that the DLLs must
   be in the same directory in order to ensure that all of the products
   use the same DLL(s).)
   Keeping all this in mind, copy pmsutil.dll either to your windows
   directory (e.g., "c:\windows") or to your directory with the DLLs from
   Perpetual Motion Software.  (See the above warning.)

3. Run Control Panel from Microsoft Windows(TM).  The Fireworks screen
   saver should be listed in the Screen Savers combobox control.

   You will find further information on using the application in the
   Microsoft Windows(TM) help file that is included in this release.
