    What is CHIEF'S INSTALLER PRO LITE?
    -----------------------------------

    Chief's Installer Lite for Win16 and Win32 (hereinafter referred to as
    "ChiefPro Lite") is an AWARD WINNING program for the installation of Windows
    3.1x, Win9x, and Windows NT/2000 applications (i.e., an "off-the-shelf"
    installation suite). The program will install files from floppy disks
    (or from directories on local/remote disks) to destination directories.
    If the files are compressed with Microsoft's COMPRESS.EXE they will be
    decompressed automatically. In this respect Chief's Installer Lite uses
    the routines in LZEXPAND.DLL. If the files are not compressed, they will
    simply be copied. 

    INSTALLATION
    ------------
    You can either;
      [a] simply copy all the files into a directory,
          or
      [b] run SETUP.EXE from Program Manager, File Manager or
          the start menu ("Run")
          or
      [c] run INSTALL.EXE from Program Manager, File Manager or
          the start menu ("Run").
