Installing
1) Unzip and run 'setuprty.exe'
2) Enter this info during install :
name : Radium     company : Radium    serial : 556310
3) Install makes a temporary dir (called 'tempdir') in the same location as
setuprel.exe - you can delete this tempdir once setup is finished.

We hope Radium releases are used to learn software and become better informed.
If you use it for more than this then please buy it.

Q : This setup size is quite small. Is this a full installer of Reality?
A : Yes. The reason it is so small is because it doesnt include any bankset
sounds.. just the program. The 'main' Reality bankset is released as an
addon.

Q : If I have Reality v1.5 installed already do i need the bankset addon?
A : No. You will only need the bankset addon release if you are installing
reality on a clean system.

Q : Do i need to uninstall previous versions of Reality first?
A : No. This installer will also update previous versions.
