To install POLYMATH on your computer from a CD-ROM:
====================================

  Find the directory where the POLYMATH program software files are
  stored on the CD-ROM.  Set your current disk drive to the drive letter
  for the CD-ROM.  Type "INSTALL"and then press Enter.

  The INSTALL procedure will ask several questions.  Most of them
  have default answers, which are given in brackets.  Choosing the
  default is done by pressing <Enter> without typing anything in.

  The questions INSTALL asks are as follows:

  1.
    Enter drive and directory for POLYMATH [C:\POLYMAT3]

    ===>


    Enter the full path (disk and directory) where you wish the POLYMATH
    files to reside.  The default, C:\POLYMAT3, is good enough for most
    users.

    If the directory already exists, you will be warned that existing
    POLYMATH files in this directory (or files with the same name as
    POLYMATH files) will be deleted, and given an option to choose
    another directory.

    If the directory does not exist, the installation procedure will
    create it.


  2.
    Is this a network installation [N] ?

    If you are installing POLYMATH on a stand-alone computer, take the
    default (no).  If you are installing on any kind of network server,
    answer Y.

  3.
    What will network clients call <POLYMATH-directory> ?

    This question will only appear if you answered 'Y' to question 2.

    "<POLYMATH-directory>" is what you answered question 1.

    On some networks, the clients "see" server directories under
    a different name, or as a different disk, than the way the server
    sees them.

    The reason this question is asked is this:  in order to print,
    POLYMATH needs to know where its printer-driver files are located.
    They are placed in subdirectory BGI of the POLYMATH directory by
    the installation procedure.  During runtime, they must be accessed
    by the client machines, so POLYMATH must know what the clients'
    name for this directory is.

  4.
    Enter a drive and directory for temporary print files [C:\TMP]

    This question will only appear if you answered 'Y' to question 2.

    Depending on the amount of extended memory available, and the type
    of printer in use, POLYMATH might need disk workspace in order to
    print.  Since client machines are not normally permitted to write
    on the server disk, you are requested to enter a directory where
    they may write.

    The temporary print files are automatically deleted when a print is
    done or cancelled.

  After these questions are answered, the INSTALL procedure copies the
  files into the directory you specified.  This can take a few minutes.

  Once the files are copied, you will be asked to select a printer or
  plotter.

  You may at a later date change your printer selection using the
  PRINTSET utility in the POLYMATH directory.

  5.
    Please select the type of output device you prefer [1]:
	1. Printer
	2. Plotter


    ===>


  Depending on whether you picked (1) or (2), you will be asked for the
  type of printer or plotter you wish to use.  Please select the number of
  your printer or plotter.

  6.
    Please select the mode you want output in [1]:
	
  The recommended mode is selection 1. for Half Page, Low Resolution.

  7.
    Please select the port your printer is connected to {1}:

  Indicate the port for your printer or plotter.


  THIS COMPLETES THE POLYMATH INSTALLATION PROCESS...  TO RUN POLYMATH, 
  PLEASE GO TO THE POLYMATH SUBDIRECTORY WHERE POLYMATH WAS JUST INSTALLED
  AND TYPE "polymath" and press the Enter key.

  8.
    Problems with POLYMATH Execution.

  Please disable RAM-Resident utilities that consume personal computer memory.  POLYMATH
  POLYMATH requires about 550 Kb of memory to work properly.
 
	




















  7.

















  If the printer you have is not on the list, pick the one which it
  most closely resembles (for example, if you have a LaserJet IV, pick
  LaserJet III) or can emulate (check your printer's documentation).

  Once you have selected a printer or plotter, you will be asked for
  the mode you want output in.  Most printers have several printing
  qualities available (Low, Medium and High resolution,  or Draft and
  Letter Quality), can print in Landscape or Portrait, or can print
  in 2 or more colors.  (Note that POLYMATH only prints in black and
  white, regardless of the printer setting you choose).

  The mode selection question will look something like this:

  8.












  (this is different for different printers).

  Generally, the fastest printing is achieved at the lowest resolution,
  on a half-page.  This is usually option (1), which is also the default.

  You may experiment with several modes (using PRINTSET to change them),
  to find which suits your needs.

  9.
    Please select the port your printer is connected to [1] :
	1. LPT1
	2. LPT2
	3. COM1
	4. COM2
	5. LPT3

    ===>


  The default, LPT1, is the first parallel port on the PC, which is
  where printers are usually connected.

  For network installations, these are usually "logical" printer names,
  but they work just as well.

  If your network uses other printer logical names, please read the
  section "POLYMATH printing for advanced users" to find out how to
  set it up.


  Your POLYMATH installation is now complete.


POLYMATH printing for advanced users
====================================

  POLYMATH printing is done using GRAF/DRIVE PLUS from Fleming Software.

  The printer setup is ruled by three environment variables, which are set
in the POLYMATH.BAT file.  This file is created by the INSTALL procedure, and
modified by the PRINTSET utility.

  NOTE:  If you change POLYMATH.BAT using an editor, PRINTSET's behavior
	 is unpredictable.  At best, it will undo your changes.  At worst,
	 it will not work at all.

  The three variables are:

  BGIPATH - This is the directory in which the printer driver "BGI" files
	    reside.  It is usually the BGI subdirectory of the POLYMATH
	    directory.  You should not have to change this variable.

  PM_WORKPATH - This is the directory in which temporary print files may
		be written.

  PM_PRINTER - This variable is in the following format:

		<printer_type>,<page_format>,<printer_port>

    <printer_type> and <page_format> values are as follows:





    NOTE: The file-format printer types (such as TIFF) cannot be
	  set by PRINTSET.

    <printer_port> may be any of the following:
	LPT1, LPT2, COM1, COM2 - physical or logical device names.
	FILE:<filename> - output is to a file, not a port.
		(But note that if <filename> is a logical device name,
		 such as LPT3, output will be printed).
	     <filename> may be a template, including '+' signs where
	     a sequence number is to be written.  For example, to
	     create output files named PMOUT001.TIF, PMOUT002.TIF, etc.,
	     in directory C:\GRAPHS, set <filename> to
	     C:\GRAPHS\PMOUT+++.TIF.
