Installation for users of AD 2.0:
---------------------------------
Installation is very easy!  Just copy all the files to the /afterdrk
directory.  Then close After Dark (exit out of it) and re-start it. 

Note: If you can not see the module names listed in After Dark's control
panel, hold down the <CTRL> key and double-click on the After Dark icon. 
This will update the list and reset all the modules' settings.


Installation for users of AD 3.0 (or greater):
----------------------------------------------
Under the main After Dark directory (usually c:\afterdrk), create a
subdirectory called \stildark and copy all enclosed files into this
new subdirectory.  Then, in the After Dark control panel, click on the
Setup button, click on Advanced Options, and then click on Update
Module List.

You will now be able to see "StillInTheDark" in the folder drop-down
list. Click on it to access the "Still in the Dark" collection.


Module-specific notes:
----------------------
"Sinkhole" and "Window Blinds"
Since these modules are dependent on a copy of your current Windows
desktop, running them in Randomizer may not yield a good display. For
example, if the module that is run before these modules finishes with a
blank/semi-blank screen, then there won't be a desktop to copy - only a
black screen.  In this situation, when either of these modules run, there
won't be much to see.

"Rainy Day"
If Hurricane is chosen with the "Strength:" option, then the "Wind:"
option will have no effect.  The raindrops will be blown in all directions.

"Steam Rollin'"
Due to the complexity of this module, several seconds may elapse before
any animation begins.
