	Intel 486 compatable or higher based PC
	8 MB Ram (16MB Recommended)
	10 MB HardDrive Space
	VGA or higher video support
	Mouse or compatable pointing device recommended


    Installation:
    -------------

        To install the software, create a temporary directory, such as C:\TEMP, 
        on your harddrive and unzip the contents of the zip files (OP152d-1.ZIP  
        though OP152d-5.ZIP) into that  temporary directory.  Then run INSTALL.EXE
        to install Object Desktop  Professional.  You will be required to enter a
        License Code.  Use the License Code (aka Serial Number) that was 
        provided with your order of Object Desktop Professional.  You may 
        selectively install any component, or uninstall  components,  and you 
        can specify the target directory.


   Create/Install Diskettes:
   ---------------------------------     

         To create diskettes simply unzip each .ZIP file using the -$ parameter,
          to a freshly formatted diskette.

	Example:

	Change Drives:  a:
			unzip -$ c:\temp\op152-1.zip
                    
	   		Repeat this process for each zip file unzipping each
			file to a different diskette.

          After you have created the diskettes put disk 1 into the drive and run 
          INSTALL.EXE to being installation.


    Uninstallation:
    ---------------

        The install program contains an uninstall feature, which can be
        used to remove the software from your system.  Before running
        the uninstall process, ensure that the Control Center and Tab
        LaunchPad have been closed, and you have disabled the Task
        Manager and Keyboard LaunchPad features.  If you find the
        uninstall procedure fails with a SYS3175 error, or incompletely
        removes the software from your system, please reboot your
        computer and retry the uninstall process after your system
        restarts.

        In addition, a manual removal procedure is documented in the
        "Object Desktop Professional Read Me First! document" in your
        Object Desktop Professional folder.


    Special Instructions for OS/2 2.1 Users:
    ----------------------------------------

        Object Desktop Professional has been designed for OS/2 version
        2.1 or higher. However, there are several problems fixed by
        IBM's OS/2 2.11 Service Pak which are required for using Object
        Desktop Professional. Specifically, the Object Desktop
        Professional Tab LaunchPad object may hang a OS/2 2.1 system due
        to a defect in OS/2.  For this reason, we recommend using Object
        Desktop Professional with OS/2 2.11 or higher.

        Stardock Systems recommends installing the latest Service Pak
        offered by IBM for OS/2 2.11, called XR_B098, dated 9/95, if you
        are using OS/2 2.11 with Object Desktop Professional.

        To take full advantage of all the features in Object Desktop
        Professional, the use of the OS/2 Warp family of products is
        required.
