1. Extract the contents of the zip file to a directory on your hard 
disk, e.g. c:\program files\panorama tools. Make sure that the 
directory structure inside the zip file remains intact. If you 
use Winzip, this is accomplished by enabling the 'Use folder names' 
checkbox.

2. Copy the pano12.dll to c:\windows\system32 (or c:\winnt\system32 
on Windows NT/2000). In Winzip you can do this for example by 
dragging the file from the Panorama Tools zip archive to a 
windows explorer window which you opened in that directory.

3. Copy all .8bf files from the zip file to your Photoshop 
plugins directory 
(often c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop x.xx\Plug-Ins)

4. If you have PTGui, start it, go to the options dialog in 
the Tools menu. Click on the Browse button next to the 
PTStitcher box, and find the PTStitcher.exe which you 
installed in step 1. PTGui has a Getting Started guide, 
press F1.
