Distribution
CATraxx is distributed as shareware. This means you are
welcome to give copies of CATraxx to your friends and
colleagues. For a list of files that need to be distributed,
please see VENDINFO.DIZ. Do not, under any circumstances,
distribute CATRAXX.MEM. This file contains the serial number,
and with this information we can trace the copy back to you.
When CATRAXX.MEM is not present, CATraxx runs as an
unregistered shareware version.
=============================================================
Installation
NOTE!
If you downloaded this package from the Internet, please
read this paragraph very carefully: A file called
VBRUN300.DLL needs to be installed on your computer before
SETUP is run. To save space, this file was not included
in this package. Please check your SYSTEM directory
(usually C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM) to see if you already have this
file (this is very likely). If not then download, unzip and
copy the file to the SYSTEM directory. It is very important
that you do this before SETUP is run!
VBRUN300.DLL is available from most file servers,
including:
ftp.cdrom.com/.1/simtelnet/win3/dll/vbrun300.zip
ftp.ftp.hkstar.com/.2/simtelnet/win3/dll/vbrun300.zip
ftp.demon.co.uk/.d5/simtelnet/win3/dll/vbrun300.zip
ftp.uni-paderborn.de/ftp/disk1/SimTel/win3/dll/vbrun300.zip
ftp.bitcon.no/pub/simtelnet/win3/dll/vbrun300.zip
ftp.chem.eng.usyd.edu.au/dropbox/pgrad/utils/win31/vbrun300.zip
ftp.edu.tw/Chinese/ifcss/software/ms-win/misc/vbrun300.zip
To install CATraxx, follow these steps:
From Diskette
1. Insert diskette number 1 into your diskette drive.
2. If you are running Microsoft Windows 3.1, from the Program
Manager File menu choose Run.
If you are running Microsoft Windows 95, from the Start
menu choose Run.
3. In the text box, type the path to the installation program,
for example A:\SETUP, and choose OK.
4. When requested, specify the directory where you want to
install CATraxx. Unless you specify a different directory
the application will be installed in C:\CATRAXX.
5. Choose OK to start the installation process.
From Hard Disk
1. Ensure that all CATraxx installation files are in the
same directory, for example C:\CATTEMP.
2. If you are running Microsoft Windows 3.1, from the Program
Manager File menu choose Run.
If you are running Microsoft Windows 95, from the Start
menu choose Run.
3. In the text box, type the name of the drive and directory
where the installation files are located, then type \SETUP
(for example C:\CATTEMP\SETUP) and choose OK.
4. When requested, specify the directory where you want to
install CATraxx. Unless you specify a different directory
the application will be installed in C:\CATRAXX.
5. Choose OK to start the installation process.
If you have any problems with the installation, you may
install files manually by following this procedure:
1. Start a "DOS-window" (In Program Manager double-click
on the MS-DOS icon).
2. What you type at the DOS prompt depends on the file
you want to install. For example, if you want to install
THREED.VBX, follow these steps:
- Insert the correct diskette (in this case diskette
no. 1) into you diskette drive.
- Type this command (you may need to substitute A for
the letter of your diskette drive, for example B)
EXPAND A:\THREED.VB_ C:\CATRAXX\THREED.VBX <Enter>
THREED.VBX is unpacked and copied to the program
directory.
Normally, files with the extension VBX or DLL should be
installed in the SYSTEM directory (usually
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM). Do not copy files to this directory
yourself. If, however, you do, please make a copy of the
original file first. You might overwrite a newer version,
and as a result some other application might not work.
