  · a hard disk is strongly advised
  · NVDI or other modern VDI is advised

 Installation:

  > If you already use Crésus then replace only the PRG and RSC files. Add
    the BUB and HYP files in the same path.
    In Crésus, set the path and filename for the ST-Guide and save
    the options (there was a bad variable name in the old config file).

  Otherwise:

  > Unpack the archive to the location of your choice.

  > Copy the CRES_ICN.RSC in the GOODIES folder to your desktop to use
    as the program icon and then delete the GOODIES folder and its contents.

  > Please set or verify that the environment variable $HOME is present
    in your system. For example, in MAGX.INF:

    #_ENV HOME=C:\GEMSYS\HOME

  > Launch Crésus, go to Options and set the paths, fonts, display,
    miscellaneous settings ... and save them.

    You can see one of the example accounts, with the password "atari".

    You can remove the example accounts by deleting the entries in the
    different tables in this order: accounts, types, holders and banks.
    It is advised to keep the currencies table.

    To make Crésus run faster first quit Crésus, and then delete all the
    files in the ACCOUNTS folder. Then delete all the files, except for the
    CURRENCY.CDB, from the SHARED folder.

  > Relaunch Crésus, and customize it to your needs.

    Create in this order: currency (if deleted), bank(s), holder(s),
    account(s), and types. You can then add transactions after this.

  > To use help bubbles and/or documentation under Crésus, you may have
    to install ST-Guide and/or BubbleGEM. These programs need environment
    variables, such as in MAGX.INF:

    #_ENV BUBBLEGEM=C:\GEMSYS\BUBBLE\BUBBLE.APP
    #_ENV STGUIDE=C:\ST-GUIDE.ACX

  > To archive, the program needs a GEM library called DEFLATE.LDG,
    and the LDGM cookie to find it.

    Download DEFLATE.ZIP and put the files in:

    C:\AUTO\LDG.PRG (or your AUTO folder)
    C:\GEMSYS\LDG\DEFLATE.LDG (or your LDG folder)
