BIBLIOTEK: Book Library Records(tm) for Windows(tm) 3.1+
----------------------------------------------------------
v2.5
a product of RCCO Research
----------------------------------------------------------------
To install this Windows(tm) program on your computer (see Important
Installation Note below *before* installing):
1. Start Windows.
2. Insert Disk 1 in either Drive A: or Drive B:.
3. Select File>>Run from the Program Manager main menu. Type A:SETUP
or B:SETUP, depending on which drive contains the installation
diskette, then select <OK>.
As an alternative, you may open the File Manager, select the drive
containing Disk 1 and launch the file SETUP.EXE by double-clicking
on the file name.
4. Follow the Setup instructions on the screen. Answer each question,
then click the <Continue> button.
Program requirements: 80386sx or greater, 2mb memory minimum (4mb or
more recommended), 3.3mb available hard disk space; DOS 3.1 or greater,
Windows(tm) v3.1 (or greater) running in Enhanced Mode. 640x480 VGA
recommended.
*IMPORTANT* INSTALLATION NOTE
------------------------------
The DOS program SHARE.EXE should be loaded before using this program, even on
single-user systems. SHARE is needed to prevent simultaneous access to the
primary database subsystem by an inadvertent launching of another instance
of this program. With the multitasking capabilities of Windows(tm) 3.1+
operating in Enhanced Mode, it is *possible* that a user could at some
point during a Windows session attempt to launch a second instance of this
program. The user's data residing in this program's database subsystem
would become irreparably corrupted. SHARE is designed to prevent such an
occurrence. This program's SETUP will check for the presence of SHARE.EXE
on the user's system; if not found, it will prompt the user for permission
to automatically add it to the autoexec.bat file. SETUP will also install
a Microsoft-authorized copy of a late version of SHARE.EXE if it is found
to be needed. (The user may wish to edit the autoexec.bat to specify that
SHARE be loaded high in order to save conventional memory.) The existence
of SHARE in memory should present no conflicts while using other DOS and
Windows programs and ordinarily may be present at all times; a DOS manual
may be consulted for details on the benefits of using SHARE.EXE.
Update:
As an alternative to running the DOS program SHARE.EXE at all times, Windows
3.1 users may also use the Windows VSHARE.386 device driver, a copy of which
may be found on Installation Disk 1. It must, however, be installed and
running *prior* to running this program's Setup or Setup will install a
copy of SHARE.EXE (which is not needed if VSHARE.386 is used when running
Windows 3.1 or greater).
Copy the file VSHARE.386 from Installation Disk 1 over to your Windows System
directory (for example, C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM) and add the following line to your
SYSTEM.INI file (located in the Windows directory, usually C:\WINDOWS),
under the section labeled [386Enh], preferably as the first line:
device=vshare.386
Save the change and *restart* Windows for the change to take effect. You may
then run this program's Setup as well as the program itself.
If the user is utilizing the Windows for Workgroups(tm) system or a version
of Windows greater than Windows 3.1, VSHARE.386 should already be running
on the system.
Additional notes:
-----------------
Please note that this program is not one that may be run from a File
Manager by double-clicking on an executable file name. The required
command-line parameters will not be available to the program in this
manner. To run the program, click on the program's icon in Program Manager
(or other shell). If you wish to know (or record for archival purposes)
the needed parameters, you may view the Properties option for the program
item in the Program Manager.
