Hardware requirement
--------------------
Unfortunately, Lux-Log for Windows, compared to Lux-Log for DOS, does no longer
run on simple equipped hardware. This means, Lux-Log for DOS could easily be
run on any 80x86 based hardware whereas Lux-Log for Windows requires not less
than a 80386 processor.
To work comfortably, you should use a 80486+ processor having access to at
least 8MB of RAM. A fast hard-disk drive would help to improve performance.
LLW has been designed running MS-Windows v3.1, MS-Windows v3.11,
and MS-Windows 95 (v4.00.437, v4.00.950, v4.00.950a).
In order to run, a total of 11MB of files has to be installed.
There does only exist one big file which holds all the necessary data named
LUX_LOG.DB. Loosing this file results in loosing all your data.
Here's how to set-up the program:
Step 1: Create two seperate directories, like C:\LL_201I and C:\LL_BASE
Step 2: Copy all LL_201I1-2.EXE files into C:\LL_201I
Step 3: Copy all LL_BASE1-3.EXE files into C:\LL_BASE
Step 4: Start the executables to un-archive (LL_201I1, LL_201I2, LL_BASE1 etc.)
Step 5: Start the SETUP program in C:\LL_BASE
Step 6: Start the SETUP program in C:\LL_201I
Step 7: You may now delete the directories LL_201I and LL_BASE. They are no
longer required as the default installation goes into C:\LUXLOG.
Of course, you may change this path
Step 8: Don't forget to have a look into ODBC.INI in your Windows directory
and check all path settings.
Step 9: Start Lux-Log
It may happen that the setup program asks you if it should overwrite some
files that are located in the Windows SYSTEM directory. If you are sure
that your files are more up-to-date, do not overwrite yours.
If you are already a user of Lux-Log for Windows, you don't need to install
the LL_BASE? files again. Just install the LL_<version>? files and answer all
overwrite prompts with yes. In this case, be sure to uncheck the database
installation.

* If it will be required to install a new set of basic (library) files, *
* you will be notified in this file. *

Please have a look at the file README.TXT for further set-up instructions.
