-
- The install program AND Grocery Manager REQUIRE that VBRUN200.DLL be in one of
- the directories in your path, your Windows directory, or your Windows System
- directory, or they won't run.
-
- VBRUN200.DLL isn't included in this archive because many people already have
- it, it's big (357K), and it is very annoying to have a 357K file included
- that you already have. It can be found separately on many BBS'es (see list
- at the end of this file), and it is available in library #6 of the WINSHARE
- forum, library #7 of the ZNT:PBS forum, or library 2 of the ZNT:WINSOU forum
- on Compuserve as VBRUN2.ZIP.
-
- Be sure a copy of VBRUN200.DLL is in your path, your Windows directory, or
- your Windows System directory, then follow the instructions below:
-
- ------------------------------------------------
- Requirements to run Grocery Manager for Windows:
- ------------------------------------------------
-
- 1) Windows 3.1 running Standard or Enhanced Mode
-
- 2) A mouse
-
- 3) Disk space needed: 1.5M
- Subtract 357K if you already have VBRUN200.DLL
- Sample files use 225K and can be deleted (del *.IS?)
-
- 4) Minimum free memory in Windows to run GMW: 500K
-
- ------------------------------------------------
- Upgrading from v.1.09 or older to GMW v.2.02:
- ------------------------------------------------
-
- If you're currently using version 1.09 or older of GMW, and you want
- to continue using the information you've saved in the previous version,
- DON'T use the install program. Instead, follow these steps:
-
- First, make a copy of EVERYTHING in your GMW directory
- (it's the safe & smart thing to do!).
-
- Copy these files from GMW202.ZIP to your GMW directory:
- CONVERT.EXE
- GMW.EXE
- GMW.INI
- GMW_DOCS.WRI
- GMW.HLP
- TOOLBUTN.VBX
-
- Run convert.exe to convert your existing data to v.2.02's
- format. Click on the "Help" menu selection in CONVERT.EXE
- to read specific details about the conversion program.
-
- You are now ready to use GMW v.2.02!
-
- ---------------------------------------------
- Installing Grocery Manager for Windows (GMW):
- ---------------------------------------------
-
- Automatic Installation:
- -----------------------
-
- Unzip GMW202.ZIP onto a floppy or into an empty directory on your
- hard drive. While in Windows, start INSTALL.EXE. You will be
- presented with a default directory for GMW to be installed into.
- This can be changed to anything you want, but please keep GMW in
- its own directory. Select "No" if you don't want a program group
- created for GMW (Install defaults to "Yes"), and then click on the
- start button. Click on the Exit button when the installation is
- complete, and then delete all files from the directory you unzipped
- GMW202.ZIP into.
-
- Files that aren't transferred to the GMW directory by the
- install program are:
-
- describe.txt
- diskstat.dll
- file_id.diz
- install.exe
- packing.txt
- readme.txt
- sysop.txt
- vendor.txt
-
- Manual Installation:
- --------------------
-
- Place the following files in your Windows System directory:
- VBRUN200.DLL
- VBISAMMX.DLL
-
- Create a directory for GMW, and place all remaining files
- except the files on the above two lists, into this directory.
-
- ----------------------------------------
- GMW Sample Files and a Quick Tour of GMW
- ----------------------------------------
-
- Included with GMW are some sample files so you can evaluate GMW
- without having to manually enter any data. These files are
- copied to your hard drive during the automatic installation. The
- sample files will enable you to see how Grocery Manager works.
-
- Immediately after installing GMW, go to the View menu, and
- browse through the various screens to view. The sample files are
- set up so that you can view or printout a sample menu and
- shopping list without going through the usual steps to make one.
- Select Shopping List from the View menu. This is an example of
- what you would take to the grocery store. Select Menu from the
- View menu. This is a sample of a menu that shows what meals are
- planned on each day.
-
- When you get to the point that you want to enter your own data,
- you may either modify the existing data, or delete it and start
- over. To completely delete the data and start over, be sure that
- GMW isn't running, and go to the directory that GMW was
- installed in and delete all the data files by typing the
- following command at a DOS prompt: "Del *.IS?".
