*** INSTALLING CLIPS ***
************************

---------------------------------------------
--- INSTALLING ON AN IBM PC OR COMPATIBLE ---
---------------------------------------------

   If you received CLIPS on MS-DOS floppy disks, you should have received 
   eleven 360K 5.25" disks, four 1.2M 5.25" disks or three 1.4MB 3.5" disks. 
   Disk 1 contains the installation program, this READ.ME file, a 
   Discrepancy Report Form (for reporting bugs and other anomalous 
   behavior), and a Change Request Form (for requesting new features), 
   and some of the compressed programs. The other disks contain the  
   remainder of the compressed programs.

   As mentioned above, for the IBM PC and compatible, we have added an
   installation program on the diskette labeled CLIPS 6.0 Disk 1. It lets you
   choose any category of files you want to copy and where you want them put 
   on the hard disk. In addition to that, the installation program will check 
   to determine if there is enough space on the hard disk for you to copy the
   files you chose. Because the files on the disks are compressed, you MUST 
   use the installation program to decompress and install the desired files. 
   You can start the installation program from either the floppy or from your 
   hard disk by typing [FLOPPY-DISK-DRIVE-LETTER]:INSTALL and selecting from 
   the installation menu.

   The following is a list of choices you have for installing CLIPS on your 
   Hard Disk along with APPROXIMATE corresponding, UNCOMPRESSED sizes:

                                                 Size
                                               -------
    1.  The DOS executables                       818K
    2.  Source Code                             5,965K
    3.  The Windows 3.1 executables             2,085K
    4.  CLIPS Documentation                     3,242K

   As mentioned earlier, the first step is to invoke the INSTALL.EXE. From 
   then on, simply make your selection and follow instructions. The only 
   other information the installation software needs from the user is the 
   name of the directory where you want the selection to be copied. If the 
   directory does not exist, the installation program creates it. WHEN YOU 
   ARE ASKED TO ENTER THE DIRECTORY NAME(s), YOUR INPUT SHOULD BE THE FULL 
   PATH NAME TO THE DIRECTORY. This directory is the base directory for all 
   of the CLIPS distribution files. The installation program will create 
   subdirectories underneath this base to hold different components of the 
   distribution.

   The files and directories included for each choice are listed following.
   
   CHOICE 1 - DOS Executables
   --------------------------
   READ.ME
   CLIPS386.EXE
   CR.TXT
   DR.TXT
   CLIPS.HLP
   EXAMPLE.DIR
     <CLIPS example programs>

   You are currently reading the READ.ME file. The file CLIPS386.EXE is 
   the 386 version of CLIPS for MS-DOS. It requires a 386 or 486 
   microprocessor and can utilize extended memory. The files DR.TXT and 
   CR.TXT are respectively a Discrepancy Report Form (for reporting bugs 
   and other anomalous behavior), and a Change Request Form (for requesting 
   new features). The file CLIPS.HLP is the CLIPS help file for use with
   the help command. The EXAMPLES directory contains a number of CLIPS 
   examples.
   
   CHOICE 2 - SOURCE AND MAKEFILES
   ----------------------------------
   SOURCE.DIR
     CLIPS.DIR
       <CLIPS 6.0 source>
     EDITOR.DIR
       <Windows 3.1 editor source>
     INTRFACE.DIR
       <Windows 3.1 interface source>
   MAKEFILE.DIR
     PC.DIR
       MAKEFILE.BCC
       MAKEFILE.ICB
       MAKEFILE.MSC
       MAKEFILE.ZTC
       MSC.LNK
       CLIPS.PRJ 
       CLIPSCMD.PRJ
       IDE_CLPS.PRJ
       CLIPSWIN.PRJ

       MAKEFILE.CC
       MAKEFILE.GCC
     VAX.DIR
       MAKECLPS.COM
       CLIPS.OPT     

   The SOURCE directory contains three subdirectories. The CLIPS subdirectory
   contains the source code for CLIPS. The EDITOR subdirectory contains the
   source code and project files for the Windows 3.1 CLIPS editor. The
   INTRFACE subdirectory contains the source code and project files for the
   Windows 3.1 CLIPS interface. 

   The MAKEFILE directory contains three subdirectories. The PC subdirectory
   contains makefiles for IBM PC compatible machines. The files include
   MAKEFILE.BCC (for Borland C++), MAKEFILE.ICB (for Intel CodeBuilder), 
   MAKEFILE.MSC and MSC.LNK (for Microsoft C), and MAKEFILE.ZTC (for Zortech
   C++). This directory also contains several project files for use with
   Borland C++. The Borland project file IDE_CLPS.PRJ contains the project 
   to build the CLIPS editor. The project CLIPSWIN.PRJ is used to build the 
   Windows Interface for CLIPS. The project CLIPSCMD.PRJ is used to
   build a command line version of CLIPS for Windows using Borland's EasyWin
   library. The project file CLIPS.PRJ is used to build the DOS command line
   version of CLIPS. The last project file, CLIPS6.HPJ, is used to build the
   CLIPS hypertext help system from the input document CLIPS6.RTF. NOTE: All
   Borland project files require that they remain within the 
   CLIPS\MAKEFILE\PC directory due to the path locations for the source. The
   Borland projects also assume that Borland C++ is installed in the 
   directory C:\BORLANDC.

   The UNIX subdirectory contains makefiles for systems running UNIX. The
   files include MAKEFILE.CC (for the standard UNIX C Compiler) and
   MAKEFILE.GCC (for the GNU C Compiler). The VAX subdirectory contains files
   for creating a CLIPS executable using VMS. The files include MAKECLPS.COM
   and CLIPS.OPT.

   Windows 3.1 version of CLIPS. It requires a 386 or 486 microprocessor. 
   CLIPSCMD.EXE is a command line version of CLIPS for Windows. The file
   IDE_CLIPS.EXE is the editor used with the CLIPSWIN executable. The files 
   DR.TXT and CR.TXT are respectively a Discrepancy Report Form (for 
   reporting bugs and other anomalous behavior), and a Change Request Form
   (for requesting new features). The file CLIPS.HLP is the CLIPS help file
   for use with the help command. The file CLIPS6.HLP is a Microsoft 
   Windows 3.1 help file. The EXAMPLES directory contains a number of CLIPS 
   examples. See Volume 3 of the CLIPS Interface Guide for more information
