Basic Installation Instructions
The FACLTJR.EXE file is self extracting as you already know. Simply
create a directory using the DOS MKDIR (MD) command, for example:
MD FACLT [Enter]
Then copy the FACLTJR.EXE to the directory, and execute it. The file will
extract the 11 files listed above. After extraction the FACLTJR.EXE file
should be deleted. Keep a copy of this file in a safe place (backup copy).
For network installations, remember to give your users access rights to
the directory. We recommend that the file attributes (FLAG) be set to
SRW (shareable-read-write) for the RBF files (SRWIT - SRW plus Index and
Transactional for SFT NetWare). Flag all other files SRO (read-only).
We suggest that you produce a copy of all of the FACILITATE documentation
included in this package. The easiest way to do this is to copy all of the
DOC files to your printer. For example, if your printer is attached to
port 1 (LPT1) of your PC, type:
COPY *.DOC LPT1
and press the [Enter] or [Return] key.
To start FACILITATE, Jr. from the DOS prompt:
FACLTM [Enter]
The software requires that a user name and password be entered. We suggest
that you create your own using Option 08.01 after you login the first time.
Initially, the only user name and password installed in the system is:
Username: SYSTEM
Password: STARTUP
The FACILITATE package is a very complex product and is designed to provide
functionality to support Maintenance Management with a variety of tools.
We are constantly striving improve the product and need (and want) your
suggestions. FACILITATE was developed by Maintenance Management
Professionals for Maintenance Management Professionals. The product was an
outgrowth of our frustration with other commercially available products,
which we found to be: expensive, slow, inflexible (database cannot be
tailored by user) and poorly targeted (best features do not address day-to
day management needs. Please read about our R:Base interface in the manual
and our Bulletin Board.
