NOTICE: THE SLIPNET LAUNCHER IS STILL CONSIDERED 'BETA' SOFTWARE
	PLEASE REPORT ALL BUGS/QUIRKS TO SUPPORT@SLIP.NET


Installing from the SLIPNETL.EXE OR SLIP11x.EXE Downloaded File:
----------------------------------

The file  a self-extracting file of the Installation diskettes.
You will want to create a temporary directory, run SLIPNETL.EXE (or SLIP11x.EXE)
and install from there.

You will need approximately 15MB of free disk space: 5MB to hold the temporary
installation diskettes and 10MB to hold the installed programs. You'll be able
to erase the temporary installation directory as well as the SLIPNETL.EXE
once you've completed the installation.

Please note that the SLIPNETL.EXE is too big to fit onto a single diskette
If you would like to copy the Slip.Net Launcher and give it to your friends,
please download SLIPDSK1.EXE and SLIPDSK2.EXE and self-extract each of them
to separate diskettes from ftp.slip.net/pub/windows/launcher.

Here's a step-by-step cheat sheet on how to get the installation program going:

This assumes that you've downloaded SLIPNETL.EXE into "your_download_path"
somewhere on your hard drive.

Shell to DOS by clicking on the MS-DOS icon.

From MS-DOS:
	      c:>  		cd\
	      c:\> 		md tempslip
	      c:\> 		cd tempslip
	      c:\tempslip>      c:\your_download_path\slipnetl

This last command will self-extract the SLIPNETL.EXE into your c:\tempslip
directory.

Now type EXIT to return to windows. Choose File Run from the Windows Menu.
Type in C:\TEMPSLIP\SETUP and click on OK. From this point you'll be guided
through the installation process using our installation program.

When you've completely installed the program, you can delete the contents of
the c:\tempslip directory. If you don't plan on ever re-installing, you can
also delete the SLIPNETL.EXE file that you downloaded to save even more disk
space.

If you have problems or suggestions, please email support@slip.net or
call us at 415.281.3177.


Extracting the Installation Files to Diskettes:
----------------------------------------------
Download from ftp.slip.net the following files:

		SLIPDSK1.EXE
		SLIPDSK2.EXE

You will need to unzip each of the above self-extracting files onto a diskette
or into subdirectories labeled DISK1 and DISK2.

To extract to diskettes, put a blank diskette in drive A, change to drive A:
and type C:SLIPDSK1. This will unzip the setup and other needed files.
Now put a blank diskette in drive B and type C:SLIPDSK2. Now put diskette 1
back in drive A: and proceed from below.

Alternatively, you could create directories labeled DISK1 and DISK2 to immitate
diskettes.

Once you've unzipped everything into directories or diskettes, you can safely
safely erase the .EXE files SLIPDSK1.EXE AND SLIPDSK2.EXE to clear
room on your hard drive.

To run from the Floppy Diskettes you made from the .EXE Files:(good for sharing)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Put Disk #1 into your A or B diskette drive. Go into your
Program Manager and choose File/Run. Type A:\setup or B:\setup with the
diskette labeled DISK1 in the diskette drive. Now would be a good time to
actually use those colored diskette labels that came with your diskettes.

To run from your hard drive using the DISKn subdirectories: (fastest method)
----------------------------------------------------------
Go into your Program Manager under Windows 3.1 and choose File/Run
Using Browse, choose the SETUP.EXE that is located in the
DISK1 directory. When instructed by the setup program to insert the next disk,
just use the backspace key to change from DISK1 to DISK2.
