1). The installation program installs Presentation King.

2). There are two types of tutorials. One is a multimedia tutorial, 
    for basic lessons only. The other is a Help System, for basic and 
    advanced lessons.

3). Do not simply copy PK files. Use menu command "File | SaveAs" or 
    "Distribute" to 'copy' your presentation. 

    If you want to copy MGC onto your hard disk, you should copy the
    whole MGC directory.

4). The easiest way to browse through Presentations (.PK or .sk files) 
    is to open File Manager (Windows 3.1) or Explorer (Window 95) and
    double click the .PK file name.

5). How to install:
  1. Insert the floppy disk into your drive (for example A:).
  2. Start File Management of Windows 3.1 or Explorer of Windows 95.
  3. Click the drive icon denoting your drive (for example A:).
  4. In the directory window, double-click file 'install.exe'.
  The installation will automatically start.

6). Shareware package un-zip warnings:

If you use pkunzip.exe to un-zip shareware package and did not give
option -d, you will get warnings, saying install.txt and readme.txt
exist. You can ignore those warnings.  If you give -d option, you
will get a clean file structure, otherwise, all files are under one
directory. The program should work either way.
