    Steps for Windows or Windows for Workgroups, Versions 3.x
    ---------------------------------------------------------

    If you are running Microsoft Windows 3.x, follow these steps. When

    Allow MS-DOS to overwrite any files it finds already on your hard
    drive.

       For example, type the following at the MS-DOS command prompt and
       press ENTER at the end of the line:

          md c:\artgall

    2. Copy the following files from the D:\Artgall folder to the C:\Artgall
       folder:

       changes to the Artgall.ini file, which is located in the Windows
       folder. If the Artgall.ini file does not already exist, create one
       in the Windows folder with these entries:

          [Art Gallery]
          CD=D:
          Timeout=0
          DataDir=M2GDATA
