~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 How to Install

  1. Read carefully the License Agreement (license.txt). If you do not
     agree to the terms of this agreement, please do not install Scytale
     on your computer. 

  2. Scytale 1.3a requires PGP for DOS correctly installed on your hard
     drive. You can install Scytale 1.3a without PGP on your hard drive
     but you won't be able to run Scytale without PGP correctly installed.
     Scytale needs PGPPATH and TZ correctly set in your autoexec.bat and 
     "pgp.exe" located in the directory you've selected in the PGPPATH
     environment string.

  3. Scan your system for viruses. Norton AntiVirus for Windows 95 is one
     of the best AntiVirus out there. If you prefer, you can use McAfee
     AntiVirus. You can download it at ftp.mcafee.com or at a local mirror.

  4. Run a diagnostic program such as CHKDSK or SCANDISK to make sure your
     hard drive is in good working order.  

  5. Now, to install Scytale, run the install.exe program. This program will 
     install Scytale in a directory of your choice (default of c:\scytale), 
     and create a Program Manager group and icons. (If you upgrade from 
     Scytale 1.2 or 1.3, install will replace old files and icons with new
     ones, so if you want to keep your previous copy of Scytale, install
     Scytale 1.3a in a different directory and rename the Program Manager
     group or the folder in the Start button to "Scytale 1.2" or something
     like that).
    
  *IMPORTANT NOTE TO WINDOWS 95 USERS*
  To allow Scytale to wipe your files correctly, don't activate the write-back
  mode of the disk caching system. This option is located in the File System
  Properties sheet in "Properties for system". (System icon in the control 
  panel.)
