This text file contains instructions on how to install "Metric Calculator" from your hard disk. If you are reading this then you've already decompressed the program source files (including this file) into a temporary directory (Ex. C:\TEMPDIR). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT To execute "Metric Calculator" and the installation program for "Metric Calculator", the file "VBRUN300.DLL" is required in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. This file is available on Compuserve, and is named "VBRUN3.ZIP". Note that if you've already successfully downloaded and executed Visual Basic 3.0 shareware, then you already have the file "VBRUN300.DLL" and do not need to download it again. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To install "Metric Calculator", follow the procedure described below. 1) Close all running Windows Applications (IMPORTANT). 2) From "Program Manager" open the File Menu and execute the Run command. 3) Enter the setup program name (SETUP1.EXE), including the drive/directory. For example, if the source files are located in the directory "C:\TEMPDIR", then you would enter "C:\TEMPDIR\SETUP1.EXE". 4) Follow the instructions provided by the "SETUP1.EXE" setup program. The setup program requests the location of the pre-installed program files, and the final destination of the installed "Metric Calculator" program files. Example: If the pre-installed program files are located in "C:\TEMPDIR", and you want to install "Icon Editor" in the "C:\ICONEDIT" directory, then "C:\TEMPDIR" and "C:\METRIC" become the source and destination directories. 5) Execute the "Metric Calculator" program by double clicking the newly created "Metric Calculator" program icon, located in the newly created "Metric Calculator" program group. 6) Delete the pre-installed program files and directory. Following our example, you would delete the "C:\TEMPDIR" directory and its contents.
