carefully read the text during all phases of the installation. 
	If you do not wish to save the installation program, select

program <msoracle.exe> will open after it is downloaded. Close

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF INSTALLATION 
	The file <msoracle.exe> is a "self-extracting zip" 
installation program. It first unzips its component files into a 
temporary folder, then opens the actual setup program. If you 
cancel the setup at this point, no changes are made to your 
system. In all cases, the temporary directory and its files are 
deleted. 
	The MetaScient Technology setup program covers your screen 
with a neutral background and begins the main installation. The 
setup program is self-explanatory. 
	A completed installation uses approximately 4Mb on your hard 
drive, assuming you already have the necessary Windows system 
files. The msoracle files are located in c:\program 
files\metascient oracle. 
	Refer to the Oracle User's Manual in the MetaScient 
Technology program group for any technical information you may 
need. 
 
UNINSTALLING THE PROGRAM 
	If you wish to remove the program after it is installed, 
open the MetaScient Oracle, right-click "Help", click 
"Registration" in the Utility window, then click "Uninstall" in 
the Registration window.
