A Project/Event Planner (INSTALL.TXT - May 28, 1994)
=======================================================================
As a precautionary measure, make a backup of any previously installed
versions and associated files before proceeding with this installation.
Also, review the RELEASE.TXT file for any last minute notes that may
affect the installation procedure.
The directions included in this document are for Windows 3.1 and
are categorized into the following sections:
Section 1. Standard Installation with INSTALL Utility
Section 2. Manual Installation - Full Install
Section 3. Manual Installation - Program Only
Section 4. Manual Installation - Samples Only
=======================================================================
Section 1. Standard Installation with INSTALL Utility
=======================================================================
1. Place the distribution diskette into the appropriate drive. If you
do not have a distribution diskette and have down-loaded a
compressed file, uncompress the file and place all of the
distributed files into one disk directory.
2. From the Windows Program Manager or File Manager, select the Run
option in the File menu. In response to the "Command Line:"
prompt, enter the location of the INSTALL utility. For
example if the distribution is located in drive A:, enter the
following:
A:\INSTALL
3. Follow the directions given by the INSTALL utility. Once the
installation starts, it should complete in less than a minute.
=======================================================================
Section 2. Manual Installation - Full Install
=======================================================================
1. Create a directory where you want APLANR to reside in. You may use
the Windows File Manager or DOS.
2. Copy all the program files from the diskette to the new directory.
You may use the Windows File Manager or DOS.
For example if your files reside in A: and you want to install
them into C:\APLANR. In DOS type:
MD C:\APLANR
COPY A:\*.* C:\APLANR
3. You may now execute the program named "APLANR.EXE" directly with
the Windows File Manager.
If you want to set up an icon in a program group to execute
APLANR.EXE, refer to the "Working with Program Items" section
in the Program Manager chapter of the Windows User's Guide.
Using the same example as above, you enter the following in the
"Program Item Properties" dialog box:
Description: APLANR
Command Line: C:\APLANR\APLANR.EXE
Working Directory: C:\APLANR
=======================================================================
Section 3. Manual Installation - Program Only
=======================================================================
You do not have to copy all of the files to your disk, but the required
files are "APLANR.EXE" and "APLANR.HLP". These are the program
executable and help files respectively.
Use the DOS copy command or the Windows File Manager to replace the old
APLANR.EXE (program executable) and APLANR.HLP (program help file) with
the new versions from the distribution diskette. The new versions use
the same filenames. For example if your old files reside in
"c:\aplanr", sample commands to copy the files are:
COPY A:\APLANR.EXE C:\APLANR
COPY A:\APLANR.HLP C:\APLANR
=======================================================================
Section 4. Manual Installation - Samples Only
=======================================================================
To install the sample data, you just need to copy the sample files.
The sample files all start with the letters "PV".
For example if "C:\APLANR" holds the executable programs, you could
create a directory "C:\APLANR\SAMPLES". A sample command to copy all
the sample data from a diskette in drive A is given below:
COPY A:\PV*.* C:\APLANR\SAMPLES
When you run the program, use the "Directories" option of the "Options"
menu to tell the program to use this directory to access the sample
data.
***DO NOT*** copy the sample plans of the new version into the
same directory as your current plan files, because the sample
plan files will over-write yours.
