 0.1 Installing the software
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   FiveWin automatically installs in your computer generating the following
   directories trees:

    C:\CLIPPER5            // You may select any other place when
    |                      // installing
    |
    +--- FWxxx             // Where xxx is the FiveWin version
         |
         |--- BITMAPS      // some sample bitmaps to use in your applications
         |--- CURSORS      // some sample cursors to use in your applications
         |--- DLL          // An empty DLL to be used as a resources container
         |--- ICONS        // some sample icons to use in your applications
         |--- IDE          // FiveWin IDE working sample with source code
         |                 // IDE = Integrated development environment
         |--- INCLUDE      // Header files CH and H
         |--- LIB          // FiveWin libraries
         |                 // FiveWin.lib = Place first in your link
         |                 // WinApi.lib  = No code here. Just API export into
         |                 // 501_520.lib = Only useful for LINK.EXE users
         |--- MANUAL       // FiveWin Norton Guide and Windows HLP file
         |--- SAMPLES      // Tutorials TutorXX.prg and many, many samples
         +--- SOURCE       // FiveWin source code
              |-- CLASSES  // Classes source code
              |-- FUNCTION // Functions source code
              |-- TOOLS    // Some utilities provided with FiveWin
              +-- WINAPI   // Clipper & Windows API C language connection

  It is best that every time you install FiveWin, you select a
  different directory, and that you try the new version for awhile
  before destroying your previous versions. Normally there are no
  compatibility problems with previous versions, but sometimes there may
  be some changes.

  * Very important: As soon as you install the software, read the file
    WHATSNEW.TXT in order to know what bug corrections, enhancements
    and modifications have been made.

  * Very important: If you are installing a password protected version of
    FiveWin, you will need to 'register' the software, requesting a personal
    password from your distributor. In this situation, when registering
    it is important that you check that there is no other FiveWin.lib in your
    link path computer, because the linker may use this old version (check
    your computer SETs and path distributions) and this may produce
    unsuccessful attempts to register the software. Make sure that the LIBs
    you are linking are the new ones you have just installed.

  * The latest process here is to modify the SAMPLES\Build.bat to SET
    appropriate your PATHS. Edit SAMPLES\Build.bat and modify PATHS.

  * If everything is installed properly, you may go to the SAMPLES
    directory, and try to build any sample:

                SAMPLES\Build Tutor01

    This generates a stand alone EXE file, Tutor01.EXE. This may be run from
    the File Run command in Windows 3.1 or from the command line prompt in
    Windows 95!
