---- README file for COMt v2.0 ----

	Thank you for using "COMt: the Telnet Modem".  
Please take a few minutes to read the following information.

                    ---- THANK YOU ----

COMt, the Telnet Modem for Windows!  COMt is the perfect solution to 
underpowered Windows Telnet client programs.  COMt allows you to
use your favorite Windows communications program (i.e., Procomm Plus for
Windows, Crosstalk for Windows, etc.) to communicate over TCP/IP.

             ---- AUTOMATED INSTALLATION ----

	COMt comes with an automated installation utility.
To use this, simply copy the distribution files to a floppy
or temporary directory, then double-click on the INSTALL.EXE
file from the Windows File Manager.

	Once INSTALL starts, you will be given the oppor-
tunity to read the README.TXT file (this file).  Then you
will be asked to choose a directory to install the COMt 
files.  Enter a directory name or just press <OK> to keep
the default of "c:\comt".

	INSTALL will then copy the distribution files to 
the directory of your choosing, with the exception of the
"bwcc.dll" file, which is always copied to the 
\windows\system directory.

	Once all the files have been copied, you will be 
given the opportunity to allow INSTALL to create Program
Manager icons.  This is recommended.

	Once the icons are created, you will be presented
with a dialog allowing you to install the "boot time
driver" for COMt.  For details on what that is and whether
you should install it, hit the <help> button on the dialog.
You can opt to install or uninstall the driver later using 
the COMt program.

	This completes the installation.  To begin using
COMt, simply run COMT.EXE.  Please refer to the 
MANUAL.WRI file for complete details on how to use COMt.

             ---- UNINSTALL Instructions ----

	To remove COMt from your system, follow these 
steps:

1) First "unhook" COMt from your system.ini file.  This is
   only necessary if you opted to use the "boot-time 
   driver" for COMt.  You can unhook this driver by running
   the COMT.EXE program and selecting the "File|Unload COMMT.DRV"
   menu option.  Once COMt is unhooked you will need to 
   restart Windows.
2) Once COMt is unhooked, simply delete the contents of the
   c:\comt directory.
