Once copied to your hard disk, simply type the file name and the files contained in it will be extracted. For example BT0394 Runs the program BT0494.EXE. This will extract the files contained in the .EXE file to the current working directory where the .EXE resides. For an example of setting up the directories on your hard disk, see the instructions in Step 2B below . 2 : Create a directory for each file contained on this disk, you may name the directory anything you like. For example, you may want to consider a directory sturcture similar to the following: C:\ | |- \INFORM | |-------94FEB | | |-----FILE1DIR | | | | | |-----FILE2DIR | | | |-------94JAN | | | | | |-----FILE1DIR | | | | | |-----FILE2DIR etc... where 94JAN and 93FEB is the year and month of the Paradox Informant Companion Disk and FILE1DIR, FILE2DIR, and FILE3DIR is a directory name for each file contained on this diskette. 3 : Use the DOS COPY command to copy each file with a .ZIP extension to the directory you created for it in step 1 above. For example: COPY B:\FILE1.ZIP C:\INFORM\94FEB\FILE1DIR where FILE1.ZIP is the name of the .ZIP file to copy and C:\INFORM\94FEB\FILE1DIR is the path to where you want the file to be copied. 4 : Once the files have been copied to the respective directories (in Step 1 above) and have been unzipped (in Step 3 above), you are now ready to use the files with Paradox. Depending on whether you are using the DOS or Windows version of Paradox, the process of using the files will be different. For Paradox for DOS, use Tools | More | Directory to change your working directory to the directory where the files reside on your hard disk. For Paradox for Windows, use File | Working Directory to change your working directory to the directory where the files reside on your hard disk.
