1. INSTALLING VISUAL dBASE PROFESSIONAL
---------------------------------------
These instructions assume that your CD-ROM drive is recognized by your 
computer as its d: drive. If your CD-ROM drive has another letter assigned to
it, then substitute that letter for the letter "d" in the instructions you 
type into the Command Line Box.

Insert the Visual dBASE Professional CD into your CD-ROM drive. If you are
using Windows 3.x select Run... from the File menu of the Program Manager and
type "d:\install.exe" in the Command Line box. Click on the OK button.

If you are using Windows95, select Run from the Start menu and type
"d:\install.exe" in the Open box. Click on the OK button.

Press the "Visual dBASE" button on the "Visual dBASE Professional SETUP 
Launcher" dialog box to install Visual dBASE. After installing Visual dBASE, 
install the Compiler by pressing the "Visual dBASE Compiler" button on 
"Visual dBASE Professional SETUP Launcher" dialog. 

IMPORTANT - The Compiler must be installed AFTER Visual dBASE has been 
installed.

The Compiler is installed in the same directory as the Visual dBASE 
executable files (usually \VISUALDB\BIN).

Once the compiler is installed, Visual dBASE changes as follows:

  * Additional command options for the COMPILE command are enabled.
  * The BUILD command is enabled.
  * Additional options appear on the Compile dBASE Source Files 
    dialog box.
  * The Build Executable and Deploy Application commands are 
    added to the Program menu.

After installing the Compiler, install Visual dBASE Intranet Tools
by pressing the "Intranet Tools" button on the launcher dialog.

Visual dBASE Intranet Tools are installed in a separate directory 
(default C:\WEBTOOLS). 

IMPORTANT - After completing all installations, please consult 
            the README.TXT file in your \WEBTOOLS directory for 
            instructions on configuring Visual dBASE Intranet Tools.

Follow the installation of Visual dBASE Intranet Tools with the 
installation of the Resource Workshop and Adobe Acrobat Reader 2.1.

To learn how to build and distribute Windows executables with the
Visual dBASE Compiler, see the Programmer's Guide and the online Help.
