Contacting Facts On File and Logos Research System ====================================================== I. System Requirements ======================================================= * Any Microsoft Windows (3.1 or later) compatible system * Minimum of 33Mhz * 486 or better * 8Mb of RAM memory required, 12MB or more recommended. * Any Microsoft Windows 3.1, or later, compatible VGA graphics card and monitor * Hard disk with at least 20MB free * Double-speed or better CD-ROM drive ======================================================== II. Installation Instructions for First Time Installations ======================================================= 1. Insert AMA in your CD-ROM drive. If you are running Windows 3.1, select FILE, then RUN from the Program Manager. If you are running Windows 95, select START, then RUN from the Taskbar. If you are running Windows 95 with Autoplay turned on, a dialog will appear. Select the INSTALL button and skip to instruction #3. 2. In the Run dialog's edit control, type D:\SETUP (where D:\ is your CD-ROM drive) then press ENTER. 3. When prompted, click OK to select the default directories C:\LOGOS20 and C:\LRSYSTEM, (or replace them with the desired drive and directory settings and click OK). We strongly recommend using the defaults. 4. The setup program will prompt you for confirmation that you entered the correct information. If the information displayed is correct, click CONTINUE. If the information displayed is NOT correct, click CHANGE and repeat step #4. 5. You will then be prompted to specify the Program Group name where you want application icons to be installed. You may wish to click the down arrow and choose a group other than the default, or type a new name for your own custom group. Click OK. 6. You will be prompted to accept the location of your CD-ROM drive or change the drive letter to the actual location of your CD-ROM drive. If the drive letter displayed is correct, click OK. 7. If the drive letter displayed is NOT correct, type in the correct drive letter, then click OK. ======================================================= III. Instructions for Network Installations. ======================================================= 1. If the network server has a CD-ROM drive or tower, put the AMA CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive. In Networks without a CD-ROM drive copy the AMA CD-ROM to the hard disk. 2. From the workstation, map a network drive to the network CD-ROM drive or from where the AMA CD-ROM was copied to the file server's hard drive. 3. At the workstation click on START, then RUN. 4. Enter the command line {dr}:\Setup where {dr} is the drive letter you mapped to the server. 5. When Setup asks for the location of your CD-ROM drive, put in the drive letter that you mapped for the AMA CD-ROM. 6. When Setup asks for the location of the books enter the network path where the books can be found (usually {dr}:\books). This will then complete the installation of AMA on the workstation. ======================================================= IV. Installation Instructions for Users Who Have Previously Installed an Earlier Version of the Logos Library System (v2.0 or Later) ======================================================= If you have previously purchased and installed a copy of the Logos Library System v2.0, or v2.0a-v2.0e, please follow the instructions below to install the Logos Library System v2.1d. NOTE: If you have previously purchased and installed a copy of the Logos Library System v1.6, please disregard these instructions and install your new version of the Logos Library System according to the instructions in the previous section. 1. Open your existing version of Logos and select TOOLS, then Backup System Files. 2. In the Backup System Files dialog, navigate to a directory other than your \LOGOS20 or \LRSYSTEM directory and click OK. This is a backup of your unlocking to be used if the installation process fails. Please place the backup file in a temporary file on your hard drive or put it on a floppy disk. 3. Exit Logos. 4. Insert your Logos Library System CD in your CD-ROM drive. If you are running Windows 3.1, select FILE, then RUN from the Program Manager. If you are running Windows 95, select START, then RUN from the Taskbar. If you are running Windows 95 with Autoplay turned on, a dialog will appear. Select the INSTALL or UPDATE button (whichever is appropriate) and skip to instruction #7. 5. In the RUN dialog's edit control, type E:\SETUP (where E:\is your CD-ROM drive) then press ENTER. If you are UPDATING your version of the Logos Library System only, Type D:\UPDATE (where D:\ is your CD-ROM drive) then press ENTER. 6. When prompted, click OK to select the default directory C:\LOGOS20. If you have previously installed the Logos Library System v2.0, or v2.0a-v2.0e the text C:\LRSYSTEM will be grayed out and not editable. If you have previously installed the Logos Library System v2.1 or later, the path for the program files will also be grayed out. (These settings are maintained in the [LRSystems] section of the WIN.INI file.) We recommend using the defaults. 7. You may then be prompted to enter a Product Code (if any). If so, enter the Product Code found on the back of the jewel case. 8. You will then be prompted to specify the Program Group name where you want the application icons to be installed. If you wish to keep the icons in the same group as the previous installation, click the down arrow button and select the group name from the list, or you can type in a new name for your own custom group. Click OK. 9. You may be prompted to accept the location of your CD-ROM drive or change the drive letter to the actual location of your CD-ROM drive. If the drive letter displayed is correct, click OK. If the drive letter displayed is NOT correct, type in the correct drive letter, then click OK. When you see the "Installation Complete!" dialog, you will then be ready to run your Logos Library System product. ======================================================= V. Setting Up Multiple Versions of AMA Volume 1-4 ======================================================= If you have installed multiple volumes of the AMA (1-4), the main menu of the most recently installed volume will be the default starting view. When you go back to a previous volume, the program will start without a main menu screen. To access the correct main menu for any prior volume, you must manually reset the starting view (called a "workspace"). To reset the workspace, choose "File," then "Load Workspace" from the menu. Select the appropriate workspace from the list (e.g. "AMA Volume 1"). Click "OK." The correct workspace for the current volume will now appear. ======================================================= VI. Upgrading to Complete Collection from Volume 1-4 ======================================================= If you have previously installed any of the AMA Volumes 1-4 and are upgrading to the Complete Collection, follow these steps. First, install the AMA Complete Collection from the CD. Start the program with the Complete Collection CD in the drive. The program will start without a main menu screen. Select "Edit" then "Preferences" from the menu and select the "Startup" tab. Select the "Load Workspace" radio button and select "AMA Workspace" from the drop-down list. Click OK. Close and restart the AMA Complete Collection. The Complete Collection main menu screen will now appear each time you start the program. ======================================================= VII. Known Problems and Ways to Work Around Them ======================================================= TOPIC BROWSER NOT AVAILABLE GLOBALLY If the Topic Browser cannot be opened globally or is not available when no books are open, the Global Word List is out of date and needs to be rebuilt. To rebuild the Global Word List, open Logos 2.1d, select the Tools menu and choose Rebuild Global Word List. USE ALL WILDCARD MATCHES The search option Use All Wildcard Matches will only work if a Global Word List is available to Logos. If the Global Word List is available but not up to date, the Use All Wildcard Matches option will work, but the options presented will be limited to the words available in the available Global Word List. INSTALLING LOGOS If you are installing Logos 2.1d onto a Windows 3.1 operating system, the installer will attempt to restart Windows after the icon is created. Manually reboot the computer at this point to reset the system. After restarting the machine, launch Windows 3.1 and continue working. STARTING LOGOS If you have previously installed an earlier version of the Logos Library System the Splash screen for that previous version might be replaced by a different splash screen. PRINTING If you are printing an article that contains graphics (i.e. the Logos User Guide), the graphics print at a reduced size rather than their full size as viewed on screen. The reduction is directly related to the resolution of your printer. For instance, a 600 dpi printer will print the graphics 200% smaller than a 300 dpi printer. JUMPS TO INTERNET SITES AND WINDOWS 3.1X Hypertext links to World Wide Web pages are available from several places in Logos 2.1d. (e.g. The Help menu option "Go To http://www.factsonfile.com") For these to work when running Logos 2.1d on Windows 3.1x, the Internet browsing application must already be running in the background. BOOT LOG If you are experiencing problems starting Logos 2.1d, please start Logos by running "LOGOS /B" from File Run: 1. From Program Manager, select the File menu. 2. From the File menu, select RUN. 3. In the Run dialog's Command Line, type 'C:\LOGOS20\LOGOS.EXE /B' and click OK. After the error occurs, print C:\LOGOS20\BOOTLOG.LOG from Windows Write or other word processor (not Notepad). Please have this information available when you call Facts On File Tech Support. If you are experiencing problems starting Logos 2.1d while running Windows 95, start Logos from a Run command as follows: 1. Click on START, then on RUN. 2. On the Open line, type in 'C:\LOGOS20\LOGOS.EXE /B' and then click OK. After the error, find the file BOOTLOG.LOG in the LOGOS20 directory and double-click on it. Take it to Wordpad, and print it out. Please have this information available when you call Facts On File Tech Support. ======================================================= VIII.
