in file "NIMSproSQLv1_3_8.txt"

4. Create a directory for NIMSpro™ on the web server, 
suggested directory is "nimspro"

5. Copy all files to the NIMSpro™ directory (PHP and SWF 
system files to the NIMSpro™ root; [sims], [skin], and 
[messages] directories to respective subdirectories in the 
NIMSpro™ root):

**Example Directory Structure**
	nimspro
	   |--messages
	   |--sims
	   |--skin

IMPORTANT NOTE: the root level name (e.g. "nimspro") can be 
any valid Unix name, however the subdirectories must be
