Thank you for evaluating THE ACHIEVEMENT PLANNER 3.0. Installing the program and getting started is very simple. This file explains how.
1. Create a sub directory on a drive with at least 1 MB of free space. Copy APIM3.ZIP into that directory and "unzip" it.
2. Run the SETUP.EXE that is extracted from the ZIP. You can do this by:
a) Use File Manager to display the directory you've created and then double click on SETUP.EXE. Or...
b) Click on FILE in Program Manager then on RUN. In the dialog box type the directory and then SETUP. (For example: C\PIM\SETUP)
(You must have VBRUN300.DLL in your WINDOWS or WINDOWS\SYSTEM Directory to run the program. The SETUP.EXE file will install that for you automatically. If there is a problem you can use EXPAND.EXE to expand VBRUN300.DL_ and copy it to the WINDOWS|SYSTEM directory.}
3. You will be prompted for a directory into which to put the expanded files. You can accept the default or type in your own. (You can use the SETUP's directory if you like.)
4. The SETUP utility creates a program group with the ACHIEVE program icon. We suggest that you move the icon (Drag & Drop it) into your Startup Group so that The Achievement Planner comes up automatically when you power up.
The following explains the files that are expanded through this process.
P R O G R A M F I L E S
APIM3S.EXE - This is the program itself. To run correctly it needs to be kept in the same directory as the following data files( *.DAT). These are blank at start up and will contain data after you use each program module.
apcal.dat, appointment calendar
buscont.dat, business contact file
percon.dat, personal contact file
miscon.dat, misc. contact file
history.dat, Contact histories
project.dat, project planner files
rem.dat, Quick notes file
todo.dat, day planner file
wkplan.dat, file for the weekly planner
launch.dat, application and extension data for file launcher
APMAN.WRI - The on-line manual containing detailed instructions on program operation. This file can be viewed and printed from WINDOWS WRITE.
DPDIARY.TXT - This file contains your diary. It is updated automatically, if you choose that option, when you exit the Achievement Planner. This file can be viewed and printed from WINDOWS WRITE.

The following files are expanded and copied by SETUP into your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory and must be kept there for the program to function correctly. If you decide not to keep the Achievement Planner you may want to remove them to avoid clutter. Just be sure that they are not being used by other programs.
THREED.VBX, MSCOMM.VBX, GRID.VBX
SHELL.DLL, APIGUIDE.DLL
The remaining files in the ZIP are used by the SETUP program only and can be deleted after installation (It's a good idea to keep the ZIP as a back up of all these files)
