1.  Installation

Make a directory (I recommend as close to the root directory as possible as
DOS imposes limitations on command lengths, and some of the archiving and
dearchiving commands PCBCheck issues can get pretty long, particularly with
long path names) and put all the PCBCheck files in it.

  PCBCHECK.EXE
  SETUP.EXE
  *.PCC         (archive definition modules)
  *.SCR         (PCBCheck ANSI backdrops/color definitions)
  
Note, PCBCheck should have its own directory with NO other subdirectories!

2.  SETUP program

The only thing necessary is to run the SETUP program.  It is fairly self-
explanatory, though a few items need further explanation.  That explanation
can either be obtained by reading the documentation, or by hitting F1 from
any field (for specific help on that field).  An example is the
Maximum Age of Uploads field.  You would not know, unless you looked at
the help screen or read the full documentation, that it wants the age in 
months, and that 0 disables age checking, etc...  The on-line help should
get you through a quick setup.
Note- certain functions, such as keyword checking, may require you to edit
a keyword list file, etc...  These are optional features, though, nothing
else is required for minimum operation.
Also, if you want different configurations for each conference or have 
non-standard communications ports, you must read the full documentation.

3.  Batch File

SETUP now modifies PCBTEST.BAT if it can find it (and if it hasn't already
been modified to run PCBCHECK).  It creates a PCBTEST.BAT which reads:

@ECHO OFF
D:\PCBCHECK\PCBCHECK.EXE %1 %2 %3 [port]

Should you, for some reason, need to create it yourself, those two lines
are all that is necessary.  The optional parameter port, only for special 
cases with non-standard comm equipment, is explained in the documentation.

4.  System setup

If not running OS/2 I recommend loading SHARE if possible, and also add the
PCBCheck directory to your path.  

That's it (in just one page)!
