                        Kryptic for Windows Install
                               Information


  PLEASE READ THIS COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING KRYPTIC FOR THE FIRST TIME !


    The Kryptic Demo is not a toy version of the full commercial version of
Kryptic for Windows.  It is potentially dangerous to your data if you don't
take the time to read how to install and use it properly.

    Installing for the first time:

       You must unzip the INSTDISK.ZIP file to a floppy disk (1.44MB format).
       Next start Windows 3.1 or Windows for WorkGroups 3.11 in the enhanced
       mode.  Use from the File Menu in Program Manager, select run and
       choose A:\INSTALL.EXE or B:\INSTALL.EXE.  You may also run the install
       program from a hard disk subdirectory if you choose.  YOU SHOULD 
       CHOOSE A FULL INSTALL FOR THE FIRST TIME.  You can selectively restore
       components later with a partial install.

       Note: No Version of OS/2 is currently supported.  You will have poor
       results with the demo and full version of this product under OS/2.  
       We are working on a native OS/2 version of the product.

       Just follow the prompts, and allow the install program to load the
       files on a hard disk of your choice into the X:\KRYPTIC (where X: is
       the drive letter you have chosen).  You can move the applications
       to a new location later if you like.

    FIRST STEPS:

       Read the Online Help and README files >> BEFORE << proceeding to use
       the demo program.  Remember that the demo, is a real version with only
       a few options disabled.  Encryption can only be performed with the
       provided demo password & seeds, and must be performed on one file at a
       time.  These restrictions are completely removed in the full version
       for those that wish to purchase the software.  Additionally, the
       network administrator's tracking program will not print any reports,
       but all other functions in the first release are functional.  We are
       constantly updating this application, and the main Kryptic environment,
       so there may be added functionality to the version of software that
       you receive if you order.  Upon registration, you will receive the 
       latest version of the software on floppy disk(s), and a bound/printed
       manual.  See the README.1ST file for pricing, and special early-bird
       incentives.  These offers are good for a limited time only.

                    We look forward to doing business with you.
