                  PolyMake Configuration Procedure

For those user who wish to semi-permanently modify the default
characteristics of PolyMake the following procedure will suffice.
Note that the addresses given apply ONLY to PolyMake V2.1, other
versions will probably not have their configuration information at
the same addresses.

IMPORTANT!  Do not attempt to modify the configuration data in your
            distribution copy of PolyMake.  Always modify a
            copy of your distribution disk.  That way, if something
            goes wrong you will have the original to go back to.

CAUTION!    Polytron Corp. is providing the following information as
            a service to the advanced user.  The information herein
            is correct and, when followed EXACTLY, will not impair

            responsibility for the operation of any copy of

            the information herein.  Any user that undertakes the
            configuration of PolyMake assumes all risk for the
            consequences thereof.
