 INSTALLATION\r
 ------------\r
-Place the binary, any templates, and the fonts directory in a directory of your\r
-choice.  Windows users may need to download the runtime DLLs available from the\r
-fms Freesite and place in the fms directory if they are not already installed\r
-on the system.  On the first run, a database file will also be created in this\r
-directory.  Make sure the user that runs FMS has read/write access to this\r
