You should make sure that you have downloaded both parts of the program:
MKTR23A.ZIP and MKTR23B.ZIP before going any further. Once you have
run PKUNZIP on these files, and while still in the same directory, you
can start the MARKETEER installation process by typing INSTALL.EXE. From the
installation menu you will be able to change the MARKETEER directory
if you wish - just choose option 4. If you want to install into the current
directory select option 3.
CONFIG.SYS
==========
Like most relational databases MARKETEER needs to have open a higher than
usual number of files. This upper limit should be at least 55 and the
program will ask you if you want it to insert the following lines in your
CONFIG.SYS file:
FILES=55
BUFFERS=20
If you answer NO you will need to make the changes yourself or you will get
an error message saying "Too many files open". Changes to CONFIG.SYS do not
come into effect until you reboot the computer.
DISK SPACE
==========
If you are VERY short of disk space (the installation process needs 2.5
megabytes) and you have some experience of MS-DOS you can install the program
without using the installation program. Create a directory and copy the two
files 1.EXE and 2.EXE over to them. Type 1.EXE and 2.EXE to uncompress them,
make the above change to CONFIG.SYS and create a batch file called MARKET.BAT
on your root (C:\) drive:
C:
CD\MKTR
MARKETER.EXE %1
This assumes you have created a directory called MKTR on drive C:
MONO DISPLAYS
=============
If you have an LCD (Liquid Crystal) or Plasma type display you might find that
the colors in MARKETEER (and other programs) do not show up well. Try including
the following line in the start up batch file MARKET.BAT
MODE BW80
This will cause the operating system to treat your display as Black & White.
MANUAL
======
To print out the manual type:
COPY MANUAL.DOC PRN
To run MARKETEER you MUST type MARKET.BAT or just MARKET at the DOS prompt >
Please Note: this version is single user and must not be run on more than
one machine because the method of allocating unique record numbers will
not be able to keep track. If a database was created on one machine and then
transferred to another Marketeer directory on another machine, some of
the record numbers could be out of sync. So keep all your databases on one
computer in one Marketeer directory, at all times.
For details of site licences, multiple copy purchases and customised versions
please call.
If you have any problems with installation or using the program you can
call me on 708-397-1221.
