===== Installation =====================================
INSTALLING ADASTRA
------------------
Windows automatic installation
------------------------------
Your Adastra package is installed simply by double clicking on
the file SETUP.EXE once you have unzipped the contents of
Adastra.zip to a folder of your choosing.
We recommend the excellent WinZip utility for unpacking
Adastra's main .zip archive. You can get the latest version
of Winzip from
http://www.winzip.com
If you have not already done so, we would additionally
recommend that, prior to running SETUP.EXE, you use Explorer
to create a new folder called Astronomy inside the Windows 95
Start Menu folder. Just navigate to Windows\Start Menu and
click with the right mouse button on some unoccupied space in
Explorer's right-hand window. You'll see a popup menu, one of
whose options will be |New|. Select |Folder| from the submenu,
and name it 'Astronomy' or some other appropriate title. After
setup, you will be able to manually move the shortcut named
Adastra 2000 into this new folder for a tidier and more compact
Start menu.
Tip: when in doubt about the Win95 Explorer's file-listing,
just press [F5] to refresh its display. Very often, an item you
thought wasn't there will magically appear!
THE SETUP UTILITY LEAVES ALL PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED FILES OF THE
SAME NAME INTACT, SO WITHOUT FIRST REMOVING THE LAST
INSTALLATION, A NEW COPY OF THE PACKAGE CANNOT BE INSTALLED.
Adastra may be uninstalled at any time simply by opening
Control Panel from the Settings entry in your Start Menu, and
double- clicking on the item Add/Remove Programs. You will be
shown a list of programs currently installed on your system,
from which you should select the item 'Adastra 2000' for
automatic removal.
The complete Adastra package contains a number of text
files, all designed to help you get started with the minimum
of fuss. Have a browse through any item with the .TXT or .RTF
extension if you've the time. Some of these will necessitate
the selection of |Word Wrap| in Notepad or whichever text
editor you elect to view them in.
If you encounter a serious installation problem, please do not
hesitate to get in touch.
