                        Introduction to GINSTALL
 
    To use this program, simply type "GINSTALL" under the Dos prompt.  
    It will ask you to move your mouse for at least 3 seconds in order 
    to see if your mouse is functional.  Once it detects your mouse, it 
    will show the COM port or PS/2 port that the data is coming from. 
    Then it will automatically install the mouse driver for you.

    This installation program is capable of installing the mouse 
    driver automatically into your config.sys file by detecting which 
    COM port or PS/2 port your mouse is connected to.  It will also 
    insert or replace your mouse device command line (device=gmouse.sys) 
    into your config.sys file.
 
    This program will detect any existing mouse command line in your 
    autoexec.bat and delete it in order to prevent two mouse drivers 
    coexisting after system bootup.
 
    After the installation, you can reboot your system or go ahead and 
    run the GTEST program to test cursor movement  (By hitting any key 
    the program will launch GTEST automatically for you).

    Example :
                            < Before Ginstall >
    
        Config.sys =>    Buffers=30
                         Files=25
                         Device=c:\dos\ansi.sys
                         Device=c:\tree\menu.sys

      Autoexec.bat =>    prompt $p$g
                         path=c:\;c:\mouse;c:\tree;c:\dos;
                         lmouse
                         treemenu
    ======================================================================
 
                            < After Ginstall >
    
        Config.sys =>    Buffers=30
                         Files=25
                         Device=c:\dos\ansi.sys
                         Device=c:\tree\menu.sys
                         Device=gmouse.sys

      Autoexec.bat =>    prompt $p$g
                         path=c:\;c:\mouse;c:\tree;c:\dos;
                         treemenu                       

   # The ginstall program will create two backup files for you. if you 
     already have config.sys & autoexec.bat on your system before running 
     ginstall. The two backup files will be named autoexec.old & config.old #
