Installing PCBForum v.94c
-------------------------

Comments: Well this installation process, which was originally planned to be
done by a INSTALL.EXE, is now unfortunately a manual installation.  With the
toss up of finding a group to release this version under, a INSTALL.EXE didn't
happen.  But anyways, I've tried to make the installation process as simple as
possible.  Maybe next version someone will willingly volenteer to do a simple
INSTALL.EXE.  Please follow the following directions carefully.

Installing
----------

1)      Make yourself a directory where you would like to store PCBForum.  For
	example: 
		D:\PCB\PPL\PCBFORUM
	NOTE: If you are running a BETA of PCBForum or a previous version
	delete it and then re-install PCBFORUM.

2)      Copy PROGRAM.ZIP into this directory.  Unzip PROGRAM.ZIP using the -d
	command.  For example:
		PKUNZIP -D PROGRAM.ZIP 

3)      Delete PROGRAM.ZIP!

4)      Copy GEN.ZIP into your PCBoard display directory, or in other words 
	your \GEN directory.  First!!! Backup your menu files, BRD*.* to some
	place safe, just incase you don't like PCBForum.  Second - Unzip 
	GEN.ZIP.  Third - Delete GEN.ZIP.  
	
5)      You may also want to delete Record # 412 & Record 328 from your PCBTEXT.
	which should be in your \GEN directory.  Deleting these two files is
	highly optional.  If you can't figure out why I would even suggest
	deleting them after you have been running PCBForum for a while, don't
	even bother.  Please don't get confused!

That should be it! - Now to set up PCBForum - Read PCBFORUM.DOC which is 
located in your PCBFORUM directory.
