CONGRATULATIONS!!!
You have on your floppy disk DELIVERY ROUTE LIGHT, an unregistered
shareware version of an excellent relational database designed for
anyone with a local delivery or service route.
DELIVERY ROUTE LIGHT is one of the easiest programs in the world to
install and use, and will give you a taste of how powerful Midwest
Software Company's DELIVERY ROUTE line of computer applications
really are.
The best way to get started is to copy the Getting Started booklet to
your printer. You do this by typing the following at the DOS prompt:
copy getstart.doc prn
then press the Enter key. The Getting Started booklet will take you
step-by-step through installing DELIVERY ROUTE LIGHT, and tell you
about the important things that are happening along the way. And
it's only two pages long.
If you are a beginner, you can stop reading this document right about
here. The rest of this is for people who like to know about all the
files on the disk and what they do. This is "nice to know stuff,"
but not essential to getting started with DELIVERY ROUTE LIGHT. Just
make sure you have all nine files listed below, and you'll be OK.
Your disk should contain the following nine files:
1. DRLT.BAT -This is the batch program that starts up DELIVERY
ROUTE LIGHT after you've installed it on your
hard drive.
2. DRLTONE.EXE -This is a compressed file that contains most of
the files you need to run DELIVERY ROUTE LIGHT.
3. INSTALL.EXE -This is the program that will put all the right
programs and files in all the right places on your
hard drive. This is simplicity itself: this
program suggests a directory to put DELIVERY ROUTE
LIGHT into, asks a few Yes-or-No questions, and
poof! It installs DELIVERY ROUTE LIGHT for you!
4. MSCBKUP.EXE -This is a compressed file that allows people who
use MS-DOS 6.0 and above do backups properly.
5. TESTDATA.EXE -This is the file that contains all the sample
data for the tutorial, and to use to help you
learn your way around DELIVERY ROUTE LIGHT.
6. GETSTART.DOC -This is the Getting Started Booklet. Print this
on your printer, and you will have step-by-step
instructions on how to install this database
application. It's really simple.
7. REGIST.DOC -This is the registration and order form.
8. OTHER.DOC -This is miscellaneous information that you need
to read.
9. README.1ST -This document that you're looking at.
If any of these files is missing, you might not be able to install or
run DELIVERY ROUTE LIGHT properly. If you need another copy of
DELIVERY ROUTE LIGHT, contact the source from which you obtained this
one, or call Midwest Software Company at (616) 365-2830. We'll be
