Installation procedures:
	1. Create a new directory and name it C:\VOICEMCH (or something
	   else appropriate).  This can be done either at the DOS prompt
	   or through the Windows File Manager (see the appropriate 
	   user's manual for specific instructions of the commands).
	2. Copy the files to that directory. This can be done either at 
	   the DOS prompt or through the Windows File Manager. You could 
	   copy DLL's (*.VBX files) to the Windows system directory 
	   instead (see step 7).
	3. From the Program Manager of Windows, select the FILE, NEW menu
	   option.
	4. Select Program Group and click the OK button.
	5. For Description, enter Voice Match and click the OK button.

	   created in step 1 followed by \VOICEMCH.EXE and click the OK
	   button (e.g. c:\VOICEMCH\VOICEMCH.EXE)
	7. Ensure that you have a copy of VBRUN300.DLL in your Windows
