0) The file comes as a self-extracting archive. 
   When you run the DIST16.EXE, it extracts all files 
   (including this one ) to whatever directory it's in.
   Simply run the SETUP.EXE program to install.
   The default is for it to delete temporary files during
   the install, so it won't clutter you up too much.

4) DEVELOPERS NOTES:
   
   The 16-bit install was based on the VB Setup kit, but obviously looks
   much better. It's large because it has a 36K bitmap in it, which I use
   one one main form, then just disable or enable controls on the form as
   needed.

   There are several large bitmaps in the Runcy 2001 executable, but I
   tried to avoid to many.
