    - State Tax Edge Default Installation Directory
    - Memory and Disk Space Requirements for Starting STE

Please take a moment to quickly review this information so 
you will be familiar with the contents.


State Tax Edge Default Installation Directory
---------------------------------------------
The directory which will receive State Tax Edge differs from
the directory indicated in the User's Guide.  Unless you
specify a different location, the installation program will
install State Tax Edge to C:\STE92-XX.  The "XX" will be 
replaced with the postal abbreviation for your state.  For 
example, IA is the postal abbreviation for Iowa. To change 
directory to the Iowa Tax Edge program directory, you would 
type:

CD C:\STE92-IA    

To then start Iowa Tax Edge, you would enter

STE-IA

Remember to substitute your state's postal abbreviation for 
states other than Iowa.


Memory and Disk Space Requirements for Starting STE
---------------------------------------------------
In order to ensure smooth operation of State Tax Edge, the
program will automatically determine if there is enough
memory and hard disk space available to start the program. 
If your system has too little memory or free disk space 
available, the program will not start.  A message explaining 
which resource is in short supply will appear on your screen.


Using MS-DOS or PC-DOS Version 2.11  
-----------------------------------
If you are using MS-DOS or PC-DOS version 2.11 and you wish
to use the Laser Printed Forms Option, you will have to 
complete the following steps from the DOS prompt to install
this feature:

1) Create a subdirectory under the State Tax Edge program 
directory called LASER.  For example, if State Tax Edge
is installed to C:\STE92-IA, you would type

      MD C:\STE92-IA\LASER 

2) Change directory to the new directory. Using the example
above, you would type

      CD C:\STE92-IA\LASER

3) Insert the State Tax Edge Installation Disk 1 in drive
A: or drive B: and type

      A:LASER (or B:LASER if using drive B:)

The laser form software files will be uncompressed and 
copied to the LASER subdirectory.  The Laser Printed Forms
installation is complete.
