- WILDCAT! 11/01/89 TEST DRIVE RELEASE
-
- This README file contains brief information regarding the enclosed WILDCAT!
- TEST-DRIVE release.
-
- 1. The dates on all files you receive should be 11-1-89, and all programs
- should reference the TEST-DRIVE release of that date. This TEST-DRIVE
- program is distributed as a two- diskette set (if on disk) or as two
- self-extracting .EXE files. If you have any doubts about the integrity
- of the files you have received you may order the TEST-DRIVE program
- directly from Mustang Software, Inc. for $10 Call us at 805-395-0223 if
- you want a complete version shipped via UPS.
-
- 2. MAKE SURE you have a minimum of 2 MB of Hard Disk Storage available
- BEFORE installing WILDCAT!
-
- 3. If you received this version directly from Mustang Software, Inc or
- perhaps your User Group or Shareware Vendor, then you should have
- received two diskettes. To get started, create a directory on your hard
- drive called WILDCAT (ie MD \WILDCAT), then change to that directory
- (ie CD \WILDCAT). While in your WILDCAT directory, place Disk #1
- (PROGRAM.DISK) in Drive A and type:
-
- A:WCPGMS
-
- This is a self extracting file, which means several files will come out
- of WCPGMS and will be placed in your WILDCAT directory. Then, when
- WCPGMS is finished, type:
-
- A:WCDOCS
-
- This self extracting file contains the complete 180+ page documentation,
- as well as a file called REGISTER.FRM which is a Registration Form for
- receiving the latest commercial version.
-
- Next, replace DISK #1 (PROGRAM DISK) with DISK #2 (SUPPORT DISK) and
- type:
-
- A:DISPLAY
-
- This self extracting file contains all of WILDCAT! display files (Menus,
- Bulletins, Help Files, Etc...) when DISPLAY is finished extracting type:
-
- A:WCUTILS
-
- This self extracting file contains all the utility programs, such as the
- installation program called MAKEWILD and file utility ADDFILES, plus
- many more.
-
- Once WCUTILS is completed, then you should print out the WILDCAT!.DOC
- file and follow the instructions within the docs.
-
- 4. If you received WILDCAT! electronically, then you should have downloaded
- WILDCAT1.EXE and WILDCAT2.EXE (As originally distributed by Mustang
- Software, Inc.). These are self extracting files. WILDCAT1.EXE is the
- WILDCAT! PROGRAM DISK and WILDCAT2.EXE is the WILDCAT! SUPPORT DISK.
-
- To get started, create a directory called WILDCAT and self extract
- WILDCAT1 and WILDCAT2 in that directory. Then follow the instructions
- outlined above in paragraph #2 with the exception you can delete
- WCPGMS.EXE, WCDOCS.EXE, DISPLAY.COM, & WCUTILS.EXE from your hard drive
- after you've extracted all of your files.
-
- 5. WILDCAT! TEST-DRIVE will NOT operate on a floppy disk system, it
- requires a hard disk for operation.
-
- 6. The documentation WILDCAT!.DOC is very complete, and will printout over
- 180 pages of text. It includes 25 pages of documentation on advanced
- features not included in the TEST-DRIVE version. These 25 pages are
- included to provide details of these advanced features (Doors &
- Multi-Line operation) and to answer user questions.
-
- 7. The documentation makes use of the IBM Extended character set including
- line drawing characters. If your printer is not capable of printing
- these characters, you will instead see other symbols in place of the
- lines and boxes.
-
- 8. Print the documentation by simply copying the documentation file to your
- printer with the command line
-
- COPY WILDCAT!.DOC PRN
-
- Again, it is over 180 pages in length.
-
- 9. Voice Tech Support is provided for your initial setup only, feel free to
- call if you have questions regarding the installation. We ask that you
- have a copy of the documentation printed out (yes all 180+ pages) in
- front of you when you call. It is also helpful if you're in front of your
- computer which is going to run WILDCAT! when you call.
-
- SORRY, we can NOT provide voice support if you have NOT taken the time
- to print out our documentation! NO EXCEPTIONS!
-
- Thank you for your interest in WILDCAT! If we can do anything to assist
- you, please don't hesitate to call.
