-------------------------------------------


1) INSTALLATION:
==================
- After unzipping the application files into a
  temporary directory, run the setup.exe file.
  One method of running the setup program is:

  - Click the [start] button on the lower
    left corner of the windows desktop.

  - Select [Browse] and navigate to the
    directory where the application files
    were unzipped.

  - Highlight the "setup.exe" file and
    click the [Open] button.

  - Click the [Ok] button in the start dialog
    box and the software installation should
    begin.

  - Follow the directions on the screen.
    It is recommended that the software be
    installed in the default directory.

    Note: It may be the case that your computer
          is lacking some ".dll" files that are
          necessary for the installation process.
          In this case, the setup program will
          prompt you to allow the files to be
          installed. After the files are installed,
          you will be prompted to restart your computer
          and begin the installation process again.

   - Once the software is installed, it is
     recommended that the computer be restarted.


2) OPERATION:
=================
   - Click the [start] button on the lower
     left corner of the windows desktop.
   - Select 'Programs' & 'Stock Hawk' to start the
     application. 

   The software contains a help system which
   guides the user through the application's
   main functions. Click [Help] at the bottom
   of the main screen for assistance.
   Also, look for small (?) icons at key places
   throughout the application. They provide
   specific help relating to the item nearest
   the icon.

  - Registering and purchase of a software license
    will unlock any disabled features of the software.
    For registration instructions, visit the help section
    in the software or visit www.stock-hawk.com
