INSTALLATION:
        You may or may not remember the good old DOS days.  Back then,
installing (and it was called installing, not setting up) something meant
unzipping it.  With MicroHof Diary, this holds true today.  You may
wish to create a folder to store the program and your saved emails in,
however.  Here are the suggested installation instructions (unless otherwise
noted, type these commands at a system (DOS, Windows) prompt:

        CD\<the folder where you downloaded MHDIARY.ZIP> <ENTER>
        MD C:\MHDIARY <ENTER>
        PKUNZIP MHDIARY.ZIP C:\MHDIARY <ENTER>

To run the program, you can type:

        CD\MHDIARY <ENTER>
        MHDIARY <ENTER>

You can also create a Windows shortcut for it using the included icon.  To
uninstall the program, type:

        DELTREE MHDIARY <ENTER>

If you are confused about how to get to a system prompt or how to create a
shortcut, consult your Windows/DOS program documentation.
