ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Introduction: ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This is the Installation procedure for products of Keystone Software Corp. It
is made to be run from a temporary folder (directory), where you expanded
compressed files, or from a diskette. Clicking on "Set Up" prepares for the
installation process. You will be asked to specify folders, and possibly other
information.
If you are up-dating an existing version of the program, you must Close the
running copy of the program before beginning the install process.
If you are running from a temporary folder, don't install the software to the
temporary folder! Use the default folder or make up a name of your liking.
When the install is complete you can delete the files from the temporary
folder, you may wish to save the compressed files. Clicking on "Install" will
start the actual Installation.
A folder, will be created to contain the product's files. If you are
installing over an existing version, you should specify the folder of the
existing version as the folder to load the new version. In this way you will
retain your current settings and registration information. If you want to be
extra safe, you can make a backup of the existing folder, and keep it until you
are sure the installation went well.
Keystone Software Corp. products use VRObj.DLL Version 2.1D, a Watcom - VXRexx
product. Other KSC products use VRObj.DLL, and other DLLs, so to save disk
space, they are kept in a separate folder from the product, probably "VXRexx".
This procedure tries to insure that you have the latest version of DLLs, and
will rename old copies before replacing them. You can delete the old copies
when you are sure the new ones work with everything that uses them.
For this product to run, your Config.Sys file must have a LibPath statement
that points to the DLLs, Install will add or modify the statement for you. You
will be given an opportunity to have Install replace your Config.Sys file or
save the updated file as Config.KSC and you can change your Config.Sys file
later. You will then need to re-boot. Install checks to see if your current
LibPath statement needs updating to point to the DLLs and will not change your
Config.Sys file if it doesn't need to. In this case you will not have to
re-boot.
Install will also create a program object (Icon), on your Desktop to run this
product.
You can view the help information for most KSC products by pressing "F1" when
the main window of the product that has the focus. The help information for
KSC products is also supplied in book form, ".INF" files that can be read with
the OS.2 View program.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Watcom's VRObj.DLL: ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This Keystone Software Corp. program requires Watcom's VXRexx VRObj.DLL runtime
library, version 2.1 patch level "D". It can be found as VRObj21D.Zip on
BBS's, in the IBM OS/2 User Forum on CompuServe and on the KSC WEB page. See:
Contacting the Author. If you already have this or a later version of
VRObj.DLL you don't need to get it again.
You may have other programs that use VRObj.DLL, if so, you may have more than
one copy VRObj.DLL. You only need the latest version and having older versions
can cause problems. This Keystone Software Corp. program or one of your other
programs may complain about the version of VRObj.DLL when it starts. If so,
you probably have an old version around somewhere.
DLLs are shared in memory by programs written to use them. If an old programs
run and causes an old version of a DLL to be loaded it will run fine.
Subsequent programs that require the newer version will not cause the newer
version of the DLL to replace the older version in memory. The older version
of the DLL will not be able to properly support the newer program.
You can use the OS/2 "Find" tool on the LaunchPad or "Seek and Scan Files" from
the Productivity folder to locate all the copies of VRObj.DLL. Be careful and
only delete the older versions.
This Keystone Software Corp. program puts VRObj.DLL in the C:\VXRexx folder or
where ever you chose at installation time. This folder or a folder where you
keep DLLs is a good place to keep it. The folder name should be in the
"LibPath" statement in your "ConFig.SYS" file.
