GOLDMINE GOAL SETTER ====================== Copyright (c) 1993 Goldmine Systems. CompuServe 100240,2010 PO Box 4547 Kingston ACT 2604 Australia NO WARRANTIES ARE EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. INTRODUCTION: ============= 1. Goldmine Goal Setter is a sophisticated, professionally developed Windows product for formulating and maintaining a set of Life Goals. 2. Having Life Goals can radically improve the degree of happiness, fulfilment and satisfaction you experience while on this planet. 3. In keeping with Goldmine Systems' belief that this product can be of immense value to you, the registration fee has been kept very modest: On average $30, plus a $5 shipping fee. (The actual fee varies according to your income level.) 4. You are strongly encouraged to take the concept of this product seriously: You can reap major personal rewards!! INSTALLATION: ============= 1. If you have the three diskettes in zipped or packed format, you need to unpack them, twice, to two sets of diskettes. If the diskettes are in ready-to-install condition, then simply take a backup copy of the three diskettes. One set of diskettes is to be used for installation, and the other set is for backup purposes, and / or for giving away to your friends. 2. The installation procedure modifies install disk one to contain the installer's name (and organisation if relevant). Subsequent installations from those disks will inform the new installer of the original installer's name. 3. If Windows is not running, start it up. 4. Make sure that you have at least 5MB of free disk space on your hard drive. Note: If you use an operating system which has disk compression, and compressed disk space, it is recommended that two of Goldmine Goal Setter's files be installed in UNCOMPRESSED disk space. This is due to the fact that the files are relational database structures, with sophisticated record-retrieval algorithms, which can be slowed down if the files are in compressed disk space. The two files are: - GOALMINE.MDB - GOALMIGS.MDB . 5. Put the diskette labelled Disk 1 in the A: drive. 6. Run, under Windows, A:\setup.exe . A standard Microsoft-style Windows installation then begins. 7. NOTE: It is recommended that Goldmine Goal Setter be installed in the default directory: C:\Goalmine. If you do not install it in this directory, you need to take special action, detailed later in this document. 8. Follow the on-screen installation instructions. 9. The installation procedure might request you to re-boot your system after installation. Do so, if required. 10. After installation, double-click on the Goal Setter icon to start Goldmine Goal Setter. 11. You will first see a screen saying 'Welcome to Goldmine'. If you installed the product in C:\Goalmine, Press OK. (If not, see the special instructions later in this document.) 12. You will then see a screen showing product registration details. Read the information, and fill in personal details such as name, and especially your date of birth. You are not at this time registering the product, although you are most welcome to! Your date of birth is used for generating goal target dates for age-specific goals. 13. After entering your date of birth, press the button labelled: Update Age-Specific Target Dates. 14. After that, a small window will appear showing you the age-specific target dates. Press the Close button.
