Installation:

The included software should be copied to your hard drive before use.
Create a subdirectory on your hard drive called MELOADER or another name of
your choosing by typing:

	c:
	cd \
	md meloader
	cd meloader

at the DOS prompt.  Copy all of the files from the included diskette into
the newly created subdirectory by typing:

	copy a:*.*

Alternatively, INSTALL.BAT can be run to perform similar steps.  If the
MELOADER directory already exists, you will get an error message and the
installation will continue.



Target Software:

Several target (.HEX) files are included with the default configuration
(TX = PORTC.6, RX = PORTC.7, true mode, 4MHz for 28- and 40-pin devices and
TX = PORTB.2, RX = PORTB.1, true mode, 4MHz for 18-pin devices).  Target
files for other devices or configurations may be created on the Build Your
Own Loader page on the melabs web site.
