In GEOS.INI you will find a line reading 'continueSetup = true'. Change
it to read 'continueSetup = false'. Then Geoworks will run. Go into
Preferences and complete any setting up (usually the choice of printer).
This fast CPU bug affects installation on AMD 586 133MHz, 686's and
Pentiums. It is in the installation program not Geoworks. If running
Win95 add 'fs = ms4.geo' to force Ensemble to recognise the version of
DOS. This goes in the section headed [system].
