/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Installation
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

RideWay should be installed only on a PC that has direct access to the Internet
via a LAN or a dial-up connection. Do not install RideWay on PCs which will
access the Internet through RideWay.
  
RideWay is distributed as either 
 - rideway-setup.exe: a self-extract executable file or  
 - rideway-setup.zip: a ZIP file

If you download 'rideway-setup.exe', run this executable either at
a DOS prompt or from Windows 95/NT Explorer to start the installation.

If you download 'rideway-setup.zip', please unzip this file and extract
the 2 unzipped files ('Setup.exe' and 'Readme.txt') to a directory of your 
choice.  Run the executable ('Setup.exe') either at a DOS prompt or 
from Windows 95/NT Explorer to start the installation.

The installation process is straight-forward and is guided by InstallShield(TM).
You need only supply your name and company name during the installation process.
If you have an earlier version of RideWay installed on your system, you should
install the new version to a different directory. Otherwise the installation
will not complete correctly. When installation is finished, you can find RideWay
in the 'RideWay ...' group in the Windows 95/NT 'Start' menu. 

RideWay can be un-installed through 'Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs'. 
Select 'RideWay ...' and doubly-click the 'Add/Remove' button. You will 
then be asked for a confirmation before RideWay is removed.

When RideWay is run the first time after the installation it will check 
if there is an earlier version on your system. If so it will ask if you
want to copy the settings from the earlier version. So if you want to 
keep your old settings you should un-install the old version after you
have installed the new version and run the new version for at least one
time.

connection (e.g., dial-up modem, cable modem, ISDN, DSL modem, Frame Relay,

monitoring or maintaining Internet communications.
