A.) WINDOWS'98

	1.) Get the archive idicon.zip

	2.) Unzip the idicon.zip in a proper directory (e.g. C:\). 
            It will create the following subdirectories:
    	      C:\
      	       |--idicon
	           |--bin
	  	   |--include
	  	   |--lib
	  	   |--share

	3.) Append the following two directories to the PATH 
            environment variable:
    	       idicon\bin
    	       idicon\lib
    	    e.g. 
              set PATH=%PATH%;C:\idicon\bin;C:\idicon\lib

	4.) Set the IDICON_DEF_PATH to the idicon\share
    	    e.g 
              set IDICON_DEF_PATH=C:\idicon\share

	5.) Edit the base.uid file in the idicon\share directory. 
	    Change the DICOM UID prefix into your base uid.

    	      /usr/local
      	           |--idicon
	               |--bin

	    e.g.
