PAGEMASTER - THE COMPLETE PAGING SOLUTION
WINDOWS 95 VERSION 1.71
COPYRIGHT (C) 1993-1996 OMNITREND SOFTWARE, INC.
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
The setup program provided by PageMaster installs all the
necessary components. A program group will also be created from
which you can launch the application.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
For extensive help on any of the dialog boxes presented by the
Setup program during installation, press the F1 key or choose the
Help button in the dialog box.
To run Setup for installation of PageMaster:
1. If Windows 95 is not already running, follow the procedure for starting
Windows 95.
2. Choose Run from the Start button. In the Command Line box, type the
drive letter and path to the location of the PageMaster files, followed
by \SETUP. For example, "G:\DOWNLOADS\SETUP".
3. Choose the OK button or press ENTER.
THE INSTALLATION PROCESS
There are four steps to the installation process. The Setup
program does the following:
1. Asks you where to install PageMaster. Its default location is
the C:\PageMaster directory. If this directory doesn't exist,
Setup will create it for you.
2. Installs the PageMaster program files.
3. Creates a Start Menu item entitled "PageMaster".
4. Notifies you that setup is complete.
