README  .TXT    - This file
INSTALL .EXE    - Installation program for the PROTEUS Software.
DMOEXE  .DAT    - Data file containing compressed system files (for systems
                  with extended memory)
DMOEXE_R.DAT    - Data file containing compressed system files (for systems
                  with real DOS memory only i.e. 640KB - no extended memory)
PROLIB  .DAT      the compressed PROTEUS System Software files.

HOW TO LOAD THE SOFTWARE:
------------------------
1. Insert the PROTEUS distribution diskette in drive A:
2. To install the program on a system with Extended Memory:
      A:install<CR>
          (software will be loaded in C:\PROTEUS)
      A:install [path]<CR>
          (software will be loaded in specified path, e.g.
           A:install d:\prog<CR>)


WHAT THE INSTALL PROGRAM DOES:
-----------------------------
1. A directory PROTEUS (or as specified in the "path") is created on the
   default drive C: or the specified hard disk.
2. All files from the distribution diskette are copied to this directory.
3. The program files are extracted from the DMOEXE.DAT.
   The library files are extracted from the file PROLIB.DAT.
4. A message is displayed indicating whether the installation was successful
   and the program returns to DOS.

HOW TO RUN THE TUTORIAL:
------------------------
1. Go to the PROTEUS directory if you are not already there.
2. Type:
         TUTOR<CR>

       - If you cannot run PROTEUS even  though you have extended memory
         and the Microsoft EMM386 memory manager installed in your CONFIG.SYS
         file, delete the option \NOEMS on the line in CONFIG.SYS where the
         memory manager EMM386 is declared.
