INSTALLING SYMPATHY
-------------------

By the time you read this, you should have unpacked the files above into
a directory on your hard disk. It is now possible to run SYMPATHY.EXE or
TSBUILD.EXE without any further set-up work.

If you wish to create program icons and file type associations to make it
easier to start Sympathy, the method you should use depends on which major
version of Windows you are running:

Windows 3
---------

Method 1 - Drag and Drop:

  Perhaps the easiest way to create program icons on Windows 3 is to open
  the File Manager and Program Manager simultaneously on the screen. Find
  the Sympathy directory in the File Manager, then simply drag the
  SYMPATHY.EXE and TSBUILD.EXE programs from the File Manager and drop
  them onto the desired group in the Program Manager.

  The same process can be used to create Program Manager icons for the
  *.WRI (Windows write) files and *.HLP (Windows help) files; also the
  *.SYM (Sympathy grid) files, but only after an assocation has been set
  up for them (see below).

Method 2 - Using Program Manager File/New...:

  An alternative way to create program icons is to use the Program Manager
  File/New... command:

      1. Select the Program Manager window and open a suitable program
         group in which to install Sympathy;

      2. Select File/New... from the Program Manager menu;

      3. Ensure Program Item is selected in the New Program Object dialog,
         then select OK;

      4. Click on Browse... and use the file browser to find and select
         the SYMPATHY.EXE program, then select OK;

      5. Select OK in the Program Item Properties dialog.

  Repeat this for the TSBUILD.EXE program.

Adding the .SYM association:

  Adding an association for .SYM in the File Manager will enable you to
  edit a Sympathy grid (.SYM) file simply by double clicking on the grid
  file in File Manager. You will also be able to drag grid files into
  Program Manager groups and start Sympathy by double clicking on them
  there.

  To create the association follow these steps:

    1. Select File/Associate... from the File Manager menu;

    2. Type SYM into the "Files with Extension:" text entry box;

    3. Click on Browse... and use the file browser to find and select
       the SYMPATHY.EXE program, then select OK;

    4. Select OK in the Associate dialog.

Windows 95
----------

There are many different ways of starting programs under Windows 95; two
suitable methods are suggested below:

Method 1 - Creating a desktop shortcut for Sympathy:

    1. Click on the Start button and then point to Programs;

    2. Click on Windows Explorer;

    3. Locate and double-click on the directory where Sympathy is installed;

    4. Drag the entry for the Sympathy program (or the Tsbuild program)
       onto the desktop.

Method 2 - Adding Sympathy to the Programs menu:

    1. Click on the Start button and then point to Settings;

    2. Click on Taskbar..., then click on the Start Menu Programs tab;

    3. Click on Add..., then click on Browse...;

    4. Locate the directory where Sympathy is installed and double-click
       on the Sympathy program (or the Tsbuild program);

    5. Click on Next and then double-click on the menu where you want
       Sympathy (or Tsbuild) to appear;

    6. Click on Finish.

Adding the .SYM file type:

    1. Click on the Start button and then point to Programs;

    2. Click on Windows Explorer;

    3. Select Options... from the View menu;

    4. Click on the File Types tab, then on New Type...;

    5. Enter SYM as the Associated Extension, then click on New...;

    6. Enter Open as the action, then click on Browse...;

    7. Locate the directory where Sympathy is installed and double-click
       on the Sympathy program;

    8. Click on OK, then click on Close.

RUNNING SYMPATHY
----------------

You can now start the Sympathy programs by double-clicking on the icons
created during the installation.

A tutorial for Sympathy can be viewed and printed from the Sympathy
Introduction Screen. Further reference documentation for Sympathy is
available in the Sympathy on-line help file.

Until you buy and install a license to use the program, Sympathy runs
in a special evaluation mode in which grid saving is impossible. If
you decide to use Sympathy, you must obtain a license: to do this,
complete and send off the order form (which can be viewed and printed
from the Introduction Screen).


RESTRICTIONS
------------

This release of Sympathy is being distributed freely to allow potential
users to evaluate its suitability for their needs. If you decide to use
Sympathy, you must purchase a license for each computer on which it will
be used.


LIMITED WARRANTY
----------------

Sympathy is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, either
expressed or implied, including but not limited to, the implied
warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
The entire risk as to the quality and performance of Sympathy, and
the accuracy of its associated documentation, is with you.
