==============================================================================
3.Installing FWE
==============================================================================

    Use the Setup program (FweInst.EXE) to install FWE.  The Setup
 program updates OS2.INI and Config.SYS files.  Make sure those
 files are writable.

    You can keep the current environment after the installation.  If the
 same files exist during installation, you will see a message to ask you
 if you want to overwrite them. Select No, or make a backup copy of
 the environment setting files such as FWE.ENV before installation.
 Then overwrite some files with the backup copy once the installation is
 completed.  Refer to Files List for the files included in the FWE
 archive.

    Follow the instructions below when installing FWE.

      1. Make sure the earlier version of FWE is not active.  Close it if
         it is active.  The resident option has to be turned off to finish
         the program.  Open the minimized folder to make sure any
         FWE programs are not active.

      2. Uninstall the earlier version of FWE if you are installing the
         new version in another directory. (See Uninstalling FWE)
         Please make sure to follow the instructions to uninstall FWE
         because with a manual uninstallation some environment
         information stays in Config.Sys and OS2.INI.  If you are
         installing the new version in the same directory, you don't have
         to worry about this.

      3. Activate FweInst.EXE from within a directory where FWE is not
         to be installed.

      4. When the Setup program is activated, it specifies a directory
         and starts installing FWE.

         *Please do not use space(s)-character in the installing directories.

      5. Edit Config.Sys to add the FWE environment variables if
         needed.

      6. Reset the system to restart when the installation is finished.


       When you use FWE for the first time after the installation, make
    some changes in the settings, refferred to in Starting FWE.


==============================================================================
4.Uninstalling FWE
==============================================================================

    Use the Uninstall program (FweInst.EXE) to uninstall FWE. The
 Uninstall program updates OS2.INI and Config.SYS files.  Make sure
 those files are writable.

 Follow the instructions below when uninstalling FWE.

    1. Activate FweInst.EXE from within a directory where FWE was not
       installed.

    2. When the Setup program is activated, select the Uninstall button
       to start  the uninstallation.

    3. If you activate FweInst.EXE from within the directory with FWE
       installed,  some files will stay undeleted.  In this case, delete the
       files manually.

    4. Delete the FWE environment variables if they were added in
       Config.Sys.
