FILESTAR DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM
Thank you for evaluating FileStar/2! We truly believe it's the
best choice for all your file management needs and hope you will
agree after a thoughtful evaluation!
This program is full-featured with all features enabled. It is
being made available for all users to freely evaluate so they
can decide if the program meets their needs and expectations. It
will expire and refuse to run 30 days after installation. It is
free of nags and notices except for a reminder upon startup when
the number of days remaining for evaluation is less that 5 days.
If you decide to purchase the program you may do so by visiting
www.filestar.com.
This program can not be re-installed unless you hack the
prevention mechanism - which is a violation of the license to use
it and is punishible by law. Furthermore, hacking the program
re-install prevention and continuing to use the program violates
the spirit in which this program is made available and in the
long term can only be hurtful to all parties.
This file describes the procedures for installing the FileStar/2
Demonstration application.
If you have any problems with the installation or other use of
FileStar/2, please use the web site, www.filestar.com, for
resolution and support.

executable zip file which contains a compressed file, the
installation program files and this text file.
FS21DEMO.EXE contains:
F2199306.001 - Compressed distribution file
SHSINST.EXE - SHS InstallStar installation program
SHSINST.HLP - Installation program help file
SHSINST.INF - Installation program information file
INSTALL.TXT - This file. -
F21 is major/minor version, 99306 is last 5 digits of level.

BASE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. If you are installing from an Internet download, run the
self-extracting zip file FS21DEMO.EXE. When completed you should
have the files listed above in the current directory.
2. Open an OS/2 window. If you are installing from a CD or
floppy disk change to the root directory of that drive.
3. You may start the install program with or without the
compressed file as a parameter. The F2199306.001 file is the
compressed file that contains all other files and installation
definitions.
(a) If you start the installation program with a command of
'SHSINST F2199306.001' you will bypass the Source Directory
dialog.
(b) If you start with 'SHSINST' the Source Directory dialog
will appear. Press the browse button and double click the
F2199306.001 file. This will complete the source path in the
dialog.
3. Press the 'License' button (required to enable the Install
button) and read the License. When finished with reading the
licence, you may read the README.1ST file by pressing the
'Readme' button.
4. Press the 'Install' button to start the installation. A
Target Directory dialog will appear. The Target Directory dialog
entry field should be displaying a directory FILESTAR on the boot
drive. You may change the drive/directory manually or use the
Browse button to select the target directory. It will be created
during install if it does not exist. Press Ok to accept the
target directory as entered and the extraction of files will
begin.
5. Normal installation creates a Desktop folder named 'FS Demo'.
The folder contains the executables for FileStar/2 and
InstallStar.
6. InstallStar online help is available by pressing the F1 key
or the 'Help' pushbutton.
_________________________________________________________________
UNINSTALL
To uninstall the demostration program, simply delete the
directory in which it installed. The program does not write to
the OS2.INI or config.sys files and is completely contained in
its own directory.

INFOZIP UTILITIES
InfoZIP has graciously allowed the inclusion of ZIP.EXE and
UNZIP.EXE with the FileStar/2 product. These programs are
provided at no cost to the user as a service. It is very likely
that you already have these fine native OS/2 archiving utilities.
InfoZIP products are widely available on the internet. For a list
of InfoZIP sources, read the WHERE file. You will also find a
link to the latest versions on www.filestar.com. The ZIP.DOC and
UNZIP.DOC files are included to provide documentation for the
InfoZIP products.
FileStar/2 makes extensive use of the Zip and Unzip programs. It
is recommended that you add the path to these programs to the
config.sys path statement so that one copy of the files are
available to all programs that use them.
Enjoy!
