Installing FSASM.FSO

which contains the library of scenery objects.  You must copy FSASM.FSO
to your Flight Simulator directory and include it in FS5.INI.

* To install FSASM.FSO

  1.  Copy FSASM.FSO your Flight Simulator directory.  For example:
        
        copy fsasm.fso c:\fltsim5
        
  2.  Add the line "INCLUDE=FSASM.FSO" to the end of the FS5.INI file
      in your Flight Simulator directory.  For example:
      
        edit c:\fltsim5\fs5.ini
        <page down to the end of the file and type...>
        INCLUDE=FSASM.FSO
        <save and exit>
