Microsoft Win32s version 1.2 is the latest version of the software
that allows you to run Win32-based applications on Windows(TM) 
version 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1 and later.

The "Microsoft Win32s Upgrade" Application Note disk contains the file
W32S120.EXE; the file LICENSE.TXT, which has legal information
regarding redistribution of Win32s files [please consult the Win32s
"Programmer's Reference," which is part of the Microsoft Win32
Software Development Kit (SDK), for further information]; and a
README.TXT file, which is the text of this Application Note.

The "Microsoft Win32s Upgrade" does not include OLE support. For OLE
support for Win32-based applications under Win32s, you need the Microsoft
Win32(R) SDK.

The Win32s upgrade is intended as an end-user upgrade and is not
intended for further redistribution.

The following are instructions for installing Win32s.

Decompressing the Setup Program Files
-------------------------------------

The Win32s files are provided in a compressed state in the W32S120.EXE
file. This executable file decompresses the setup files for Win32s:

1. Create a directory on your hard drive for the decompressed files.
   For example, you could create the directory "INSTALL" by entering
   the following at the command prompt:

      mkdir install

2. Copy W32S120.EXE to the new INSTALL directory, change directories to
   the INSTALL directory, and type the following at the command prompt:

      w32s120

This decompresses the Win32s files into an installation layout (setup
program) in the INSTALL directory.

Installing Win32s on Your System
--------------------------------

1. To install Win32s, run Windows and start the File Manager.

2. Open the INSTALL directory (the directory created in step 1 of the
   setup instructions above).

3. Double-click SETUP.EXE. The setup program installs Win32s and
   reboots the system to update system files.

   Win32s is now installed or upgraded on your system, and any
   obsolete Win32s files have been removed.

4. Delete the INSTALL directory and its contents.
