Before you can begin using the Windows Front End Localization Kit, you
must install it and setup your working directories. This is a simple matter
of unzipping the compressed kit file(s) into the proper directories. Your
system must also meet certain requirements to run the tools needed to perform
the localization steps described below.

<A NAME="sysreqs"></A>System Requirements</H3>
There a few system requirements for the kit in the strictest sense; however,
your choice of tools will have their own set of requirements.&nbsp; The
most likely minimum configuration will be as follows:
<UL>
<LI>
100% IBM compatible PC</LI>
<LI>
Pentium<SUP><FONT SIZE=-1>&reg;</FONT></SUP> processor</LI>
<LI>
Microsoft<SUP><FONT SIZE=-1>&reg;</FONT></SUP> Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0 (localized
versions will help testing but aren't required)</LI>
<LI>
16 MB RAM</LI>
<LI>
30 MB available hard disk space</LI>
<LI>
A visual resource editor, such as those provided with Microsoft<SUP><FONT SIZE=-1>&reg;</FONT></SUP>
Visual C++, Borland<SUP><FONT SIZE=-1>&reg;</FONT></SUP> C++, etc.</LI>
<LI>
An active Internet connection and the ability to ftp (send and receive)
large files</LI>
<LI>

<A NAME="install"></A>Installing the Kit</H3>
It is recommended that you install the Windows Front End Localization Kit
in a brand new directory on your development machine. For example, you
can create a \Netscape_L10N_Kits directory on your hard drive. This becomes
your <B>kitRoot </B>directory.&nbsp; Place the L10n Kit's .ZIP file in
that directory and UNZIP it with the -d parameter:
<P>PKUNZIP -d <I>filename</I>
<UL><B>Example:&nbsp; <TT>PKUNZIP -d winfekit</TT></B></UL>

for set up and usage instructions.
