TEEcher Download Instructions

The file should be downloaded into a TEMP directory, which will create a file called TEECHER.ZIP. You will then need to decompress the program using a program called PKUNZIP. (This program is available here). From the DOS prompt, type PKUNZIP -d -o TEECHER.ZIP, which will disassemble the file into its component installation disks. PKUNZIP will create subdirectories DISK1, DISK2, ..., DISK9 within your TEMP directory.

Go to the DISK1 subdirectory (cd DISK1) and run SETUP.EXE, which will install the TEECHER software. Once installed, TEECHER is best viewed in 640 x 480 resolution with 256 colors.
