-
- INSTALLATION
-
- "Unpacking" the Distributed Program
-
- If you received the program from a shareware distributor in "packed" form,
- you must first "unpack" it according to their instructions (the fact that
- you are reading this means either that you must have already done so, or
- you did not receive it in packed format).
-
- Using the WINDOWS SETUP Program
- (Not included on 5 1/4" diskettes)
-
- Place the original diskette (or diskette containing unpacked files) in drive
- A:, B:, or any valid path on your computer. For Windows 3.x, from the
- "Program Manager", 1) click on File, 2) click on Run, 3) type "A:SETUP.EXE"
- or "<path>SETUP.EXE" (without quotation marks), and 4) then press the
- enter key or click on the OK button. 5) answer any questions. For
- Windows 95, do the same thing but use the Run command on the Start Menu.
- When the SETUP program is complete, to run the program just click on the
- Share-TAX/1040 icon.
-
- Unlocking the program under WINDOWS
-
- When you receive the code to unlock all features of the program, just click
- on the Key icon and enter the data requested. However, you may install and
- try out the program before receiving the code.
-
- Using the DOS INSTALL Program
-
- Place the original diskette (or diskette containing unpacked files) in drive
- "A:", "B:" or any valid path on your computer. Then at the DOS prompt, type
- "A:INSTALL", "B:INSTALL" or "<path>INSTALL", respectively, and answer the
- questions.
-
- Unlocking the program under DOS
-
- When you receive the code to unlock all features of the program, 1) make
- the directory where you installed the program the current directory (e.g.
- At the DOS prompt type CD \STAX96), 2) Then at the DOS prompt run the
- INSTALL program again (type "INSTALL"), 3) Answer YES that you want
- to unlock the program, and 4) Then enter the data requested.
-
- If you have a Monochrome Screen (DOS Users)
-
- If you have a monochrome screen and you have difficulty reading it, start
- the program in monochrome mode by running with the /B option (run it by
- typing "STAX96 /B" at the DOS prompt). This may not be necessary with all
- monochrome screens, but is likely to be quite necessary with some laptops.
- You should then select "monochrome" on the COLOR screen, and next time you
- run the program it will remember your preferences without typing the "/B".
-
- Older Computers Without a Mouse (DOS Users)
-
- If your DOS is 3.0 or later, then the program checks to see if you have a
- mouse. If you want the program to assume that you do not have a mouse, and
- to not even check for one, run it with the /N option (Example, at the DOS
- prompt type: "STAX96 /N").
-
- For DOS earlier than 3.0, the program assumes that you do not have a mouse
- and will not even check for one. The reason is that some older computers
- will hang with a blank screen when the program checks for a mouse. If in
- this case you do have a mouse, run the program with tne /M option (Example,
- at the DOS prompt type: "STAX96 /M").
-
- Documentation
-
- Complete documentation is in file STAX96.MAN, which is best viewed or
- printed while running the program. Select the "About/View Manual" or
- "Print/Print Manual" pull-down menu functions.
