- CashTrac 6.0 Installation Instructions
-
- Chapter 2 of the 100 page instruction manual provided on your new
- diskettes describes the CashTrac installation procedure in detail.
- Documentation may be printed to a printer or to disk and may be read
- using the DOS MORE command (see DOS manual). This instruction sheet
- explains how to print the manual and complete the installation.
-
- Printing Part 1 of the manual:
-
- Printing the first part (Chapters 1 and 2) of the instruction manual
- requires 28 pages of paper. Make sure your printer is set to the top of
- a page and is turned on. Boot your computer, set the default drive to
- A:, and put CashTrac SYSTEM DISK 1 in drive A:. Run the configuration
- program by typing CONFIG followed by the Enter key. Press any key to go
- to the main menu, then select option 2 (Printing Documentation). Select
- part 1 of the documentation. To print to disk, in the "Where to print"
- field, select a drive letter such as B or C and have a disk with 270K
- free space in that drive, otherwise leave "P" for printer. Use the Enter
- or cursor down key to go to the Start Page field and select "i" (without
- the quotes) to start printing with the title page. Leave the "Where is
- file" and End Page fields blank and press the End key to begin printing.
-
- Printing Part 2 of the manual:
-
- Printing the remainder of the manual requires 77 blank pages. When part
- 1 finishes, put SYSTEM DISK 2 in drive A: and select Option 2 on the main
- menu. This time select part 2 in the top field of the documentation
- print screen and repeat the remainder of the process for printing part 1.
- Pick a Start Page of 23, and press the End key to start printing.
-
- Printing selected pages of the manual:
-
- If you decide to print individual pages later, repeat the above process,
- but select only the pages required to be printed. Please note that the
- documentation files are squeezed slightly and may only be printed using
- the CashTrac configuration program. Printing to disk unsqueezes the
- files for reading on the screen or loading in an editor program. Files
- printed to disk are named CT6DOC.001 and CT6DOC.002.
-
- Completing the installation:
-
- When the manual is complete, press Esc to return to the main menu, then
- exit to DOS. Do not attempt to run the main CashTrac program at this
- point, otherwise errors (but no damage) will occur. To complete the
- installation, follow the detailed procedure in Chapter 2, which consists
- of:
-
- * Putting the command SET CT6=X in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file (otherwise an
- ERROR 7 "out of memory" error will result under some circumstances),
- * Making new system and data disks, or an appropriate hard disk
- subdirectory,
- * Copying files to the appropriate disks,
- * Running the configuration program to set colors and other default
- values,
- * Converting old CashTrac data to the new format.
-
- Again, to avoid problems, please read the manual. Good luck and happy
- CashTrac-ing!
