   ----------
If the program files came in a ZIP file, extract the files to a
temporary folder using an unzip utility, then run setup.exe.  

WinZip will handle this for you automatically.  Click on the 'Open'
button and double click on BBAD100.ZIP filename.  WinZip will display
a list of the files in the archive.  Double click on SETUP.EXE.

It's best to keep the setup program's default settings by clicking the
Next button in each window, then selecting 'Finish' at the end.

After you click Finish, Binary Boy Attachment Finder should be
available from the Start Programs menu.

The first time you run Binary Boy, you should enter your news server
address and dialing information.  Click on the Settings toolbar button
and select the 'Server' tab.  Check your internet service provider's
documentation for the news server address you should use.

If you don't have access to a news server, you can find one by clicking
on 'Search Yahoo! for News Servers' under the Help menu.  When you find
a news server, go back to the Settings and type in its address. The
address will usually look similar to 'news.myisp.com'.  Don't include
any extra numbers or quotes.

To enable unattended dialing, go to the settings and click on the
'Dialer' tab.  Click on 'Use Phonebook Entry' and select the entry to
dial, then click OK.
