------------------------------
Recommended computer configuration
----------------------------------
386 or better computer with at least 2 Mb of memory
Windows version 3.1 or higher running in Enhanced mode.
Enough hard disk space to store your files
(1 Mb stores about 2000 entries not including any notes)
and up to 900Kb for the program.
The Font "Arial" installed in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM sub directory.
(this is normally installed automatically when you install Windows 3.1+)
If you have unzipped the file GENIUS14.ZIP, you will also need the file
VBRUN300.DLL installed in the sub directory \WINDOWS\SYSTEM.
This can be obtained from your local BBS, shareware supplier, Compuserve,
the Internet etc.
Before installation you should have the files:
file_id.diz
geninstl.ex_
genius.ex_
genius.hl_
readme.wr_
register.ex_
register.wr_
setup.exe
setup.lst
vendor.txt

ctl3d.dl_
mlist.vb_
ver.dl_
ddeml.dl_
genius_d.dl_
genius_s.dl_
whatsnew.wr_
vbrun300.dl_ (this file is included on the distribution disk only,
it is not included in the compressed version
GENIUS14.ZIP
Installation
------------
Place the Genius distribution disk in your floppy drive. In Windows Program
Manager select 'File' on the Menu bar at the top with your mouse then select
'Run' on the pop down menu and type:
A:SETUP
and press [Enter]
(You can use upper or lower case, it doesn't matter.)
or, if you put the disk in drive B: then type B:SETUP and press [Enter]
After a few moments of disk drive activity you will be asked where you wish to
install Genius on your hard disk.
It offers to install Genius on Drive C: in a directory called 'GENIUS'.
If you are happy with the suggested directory press 'Enter' or select the
'Continue' button, otherwise type in the name of the directory that you want
Genius to be installed to.
Genius will then be installed on the specified directory. An extra
sub directory will be made called 'FILES' under your GENIUS directory, this
is to store the family records that Genius will generate.
After a short time, the installation will be complete, and, if there are
no existing data files, you will be asked if you wish to install
the sample files. Respond either 'Yes' or 'No'. If you respond 'Yes' a set
of sample family files will be copied to the 'FILES' sub directory,
if you respond 'No' the installation is complete and you will be returned
to Windows Program Manager.
If the installation program finds an existing set if Genius Family files
it will check and update these files.
After installation you should have the following files in your Genius
directory: (or the sub directory you installed Genius to)
genius.exe
genius.hlp
readme.wri
register.exe
register.wri
whatsnew.wri
and, if you installed the sample family files you should have the following
files in the 'FILES' sub directory under the Genius directory:
(or under the directory you installed Genius to)
genius.cfg
genius.per
genius.mar
genius.mce
genius.not
NOTE: If you installed the sample files you will have to delete them before you
start your own family database.
To do this exit from Genius, run File Manager, find the sub directory 'FILES'
under the directory you installed Genius to (normally C:\GENIUS) and delete
all the files listed above from the sub directory 'FILES'.
After you have installed Genius for Windows click in the icon README.WRI in the
Genius for Windows group for more information about using the program.
I hope you enjoy using Genius for Windows.
