Manual Installation
-------------------
If you are running Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4
and Autoplay is disabled, you need to launch the installation
program manually.

The installation program is called SETUP.EXE, and it is in the
root directory of the CD-ROM. Simply double-click SETUP.EXE to
launch. This program will create a Program Group. This group
contains links to setup programs on the CD-ROM for the source
code and third-party utilities that we've included for your
evaluation. To install any of these components, select the
name of the component you want to install from the Program
Group and follow the on-screen instructions.

CD-ROM Contents
---------------
If you choose not to install using the Program Group, you may
launch each setup program individually from Windows Explorer.
The following diagram should help you find the files you need:

\---SOURCE            Source code and examples from the book

Go to the directory of the software you want to install and
double-click on the setup program.

Visual Basic Knowledgebase
--------------------------
We've provided a knowledgebase for your perusal in HTML format.
This knowledgebase can be viewed by launching a browser and opening
the file INDEX.HTM in the appropriate directory. If you don't have a
frames-enabled browser already set up on your computer, you can install
Microsoft's Internet Explorer from the CD-ROM.

Source Code Installation
------------------------
The source code install program will copy all of the source code from
the CD-ROM to your hard drive. If you are just interested in the code
from a particular chapter or two, go to the SOURCE directory on the
CD-ROM and copy what you need to your hard drive. If you copy the source
code to your hard drive, copy it to a directory named \TYSDBVB6\SOURCE,
otherwise you will need to modify the code to work in the new location.
Don't forget to turn off the read-only attribute on the file(s) you copy.
