1. EXECUTING RUNTIME APPLICATIONS UNDER WINDOWS
-----------------------------------------------

Q. How do I execute GIDEON applications under Microsoft Windows?

A. To modify the GIDEON.PIF file that is installed in your GIDEON
   directory use the following instructions:

   1) Start Windows and launch the Windows PIF Editor from the Program
      Manager.

   2) Open the GIDEON.PIF by using the File|Open command.

   3) In the Program Filename type-in box, enter the full path of
      PDOXRUN.EXE. For example, if you are using the default directory, enter

      C:\GIDEON\PDOXRUN.EXE

   4) In the Start-up Directory type-in box, enter the full path of your
      GIDEON directory. For example, enter

      C:\GIDEON

   5) Save the .PIF file by choosing File|Save.


2. EXECUTING MULTIPLE GIDEON APPLICATIONS CONCURRENTLY UNDER WINDOWS
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Q. Do I have to increase my user count to execute more than one GIDEON
   application concurrently under Windows?

A. You can execute more than one GIDEON application concurrently under
   Windows without increasing your user count. Create a separate icon   
   and .PIF file in the Program Manager for each application. Use the
   Windows PIF Editor as described above and add the -share command line
   option before the name of the script you want to execute in the
   Optional Parameters type-in box. For example, enter 

   -extk 2048 -share GIDEON
