SUMMARY
=======

Perform the following steps to manually install Microsoft Bookshelf for Windows,
1991 edition. For instructions on how to copy or create directories, see your
Windows documentation or online Help. These directions assume that your hard
disk is drive C and your CD-ROM drive is drive X.

1. Create a directory (folder) called Viewer on the hard disk (drive C).

2. Copy all files from the X:\Viewer directory on the CD-ROM to the C:\Viewer
  directory on the hard disk.

3. Copy *.ico from the X:\Books directory on the CD-ROM to C:\Viewer.

4. Add C:\Viewer to the path statement in the Autoexec.bat file.

  Bookshelf manually. You can do this by doing the following:

     Install New Font.
