Welcome to EARTHWATCH 3.5!

EWATCH35.ZIP contains two self-extracting files, one for a VGA version
and one for CGA.  You can install either or both in separate directories
or the same directory on your hard drive.  After installation, the VGA
program has twenty-eight files associated with it, while the CGA has
nine.  Of these, three are shared (BRUN45.EXE, GAZ35.DAT, and
README.DOC).

The installation process requires that you designate target directory(s)
on your hard drive.  If you already have an older version of Earthwatch
in a directory on your hard drive and wish to designate that same
directory, that's fine, but I recommend that you first delete all of the
old files to get rid of unnecessary clutter.

If you have EWATCH35.ZIP on a diskette, insert it in your floppy drive
(usually A or B).  How you now enter the installation command depends
on whether you are operating from DOS, Windows, or Windows 95/97.
From DOS, first enter A: or B: designating the floppy drive that
holds the diskette.  From Windows, click on FILE - RUN, and designate
the drive (A: or B:).  From Windows 95/97 click on START -  RUN and
designate the drive (A: or B:).  Now you are ready to enter the
installation command described below.

If you have EWATCH35.ZIP in a directory on your hard drive, the procedure
is similar, again depending on whether you operate from DOS, Windows,
or Windows 95/97.  From DOS, go to the directory containing EWATCH35.ZIP.
From Windows, click on FILE - RUN and designate the directory containing
EWATCH35.ZIP.  From Windows 95/97 click on START - RUN and designate the
directory containing EWATCH35.ZIP.

Now for the installation command.  For the VGA version, enter
INSTALLV C:\DIRNAME, where DIRNAME is the directory you wish to
designate to contain the VGA version program files.  It is not necessary
to create this directory in advance: If it does not exist, the install
program will create it.

To install the CGA version, enter INSTALLC C:\DIRNAME.  Again, DIRNAME
may be the same or different from the one chosen for the VGA
installation.

Once installed, you can run the VGA or CGA program from DOS by entering
EWV or EWC respectively from its directory.  From Windows or Windows 95/,
97, run by double clicking on EWV.BAT or EWC.BAT from the File Manager
(Windows) or the Explorer (Windows 95/97).  Better yet - from Windows
or Windows 95/97, create an icon from which to launch EarthWatch.
