ACUCOBOL-85 for Windows, version 2.3.1
======================================

Installation
============

Note that the files contained on the diskette are compressed.  
You must use the setup utility contained on the diskette to use 
these files.  To run setup, go to the Program Manager, select 
"File", "Run" from the menu and type "a:\setup" (or "b:\setup").


Installed Files
===============

For a complete list of the files installed, see the ACUCOBOL-85 
manual.  In the main directory, you will find the executables for 
the compiler, runtime and utility programs.  The subdirectory 
"library" contains all the files needed to relink the runtime 
system, but is otherwise not needed.  The "sample" subdirectory 
contains all of the sample COBOL programs and COPY libraries.  


Sample Program Manager Group
============================

The setup program creates (at your option) a sample Program Manager
group.  This contains icons that will compile and run one of the
sample programs.  To compile the program, double-click on the
"Compile Sample" and "Compile Message" icons.  To run, double-click
on the "Run Sample" icon.  To run the sample under the debugger,
double-click on the "Debug Sample" icon.

If you would like to arrange for similar icons for your programs, 
you can examine how these icons are arranged by selecting them
in the Program Manager and then selecting the "File", "Properties"
menu item.  


TOOLHELP.DLL and Windows 3.0
============================

If you plan to run under Windows 3.0, you must install the file
TOOLHELP.DLL into the Windows system directory.  The ACUCOBOL-85
setup program does this automatically when needed.  However, if you
plan to redistribute your application to machines running 
Windows 3.0, you must be sure to include this file and install it 
properly on the target machine.  If the runtime cannot find this 
file, it pops up a message box indicating that it is missing.

This file is not needed for Windows 3.1.  Its functions are built
into the operating system.
