- !!! IMPORTANT !!!
-
- The install program AND Grocery Manager REQUIRE that VBRUN200.DLL be in one of
- the directories in your path, your Windows directory, or your Windows System
- directory, or they won't run.
-
- VBRUN200.DLL isn't included in this archive because many people already have
- it, it's big (357K), and it is very annoying to have a 357K file included
- that you already have. It can be found separately on many BBS'es (see list
- at the end of this file), and it is available in library #6 of the WINSHARE
- forum, library #7 of the ZNT:PBS forum, or library 2 of the ZNT:WINSOU forum
- on Compuserve as VBRUN2.ZIP.
-
- Be sure a copy of VBRUN200.DLL is in your path, your Windows directory, or
- your Windows System directory, then follow the instructions below:
-

-
- Installing Grocery Manager for Windows (GMW)
-
- Automatic Installation
-
- Unzip GMW109.ZIP onto a floppy or into an empty directory on your
- hard drive. While in Windows, start INSTALL.EXE. You will be presented
- with a default directory for GMW to be installed into. This can be
- changed to anything you want, but please keep GMW in its own
- directory. Check the box if you want a program group created
- for GMW, and then click on the start button. Click on the Exit
- button when the installation is complete, and then delete all files
- from the directory you unzipped GMW109.ZIP into.
-
- Files on the floppy that aren't transferred to your hard drive
- by the install program are:
-
- describe.txt
- diskstat.dll
- file_id.diz
- install.exe
- install.inf
- packing.txt
- readme.txt
- sysop.txt
- vendor.txt
-
- Manual Installation
-
- Place VBRUN200.DLL and VBISAMMX.DLL in your Windows System directory.
- If you are running Windows v.3.0, also place DDEML.DLL in your Windows
- System directory (if you have Windows v.3.1, it's already there).
- Create a directory for GMW, and place all remaining files, except
- the files on the above list, into this directory.
-
- GMW Sample Files and a Quick Tour of GMW
-
- Included with GMW are some sample files so you can evaluate GMW
- without having to manually enter any data. These files are
- copied to your hard drive during the automatic installation. The
- sample files will enable you to see how Grocery Manager works.
-
- Immediately after installing GMW, go to the View menu, and
- browse through the various screens to view. The sample files are
- set up so that you can view or printout a sample menu and
- shopping list without going through the usual steps to make one.
- Select Shopping List from the View menu. This is an example of
- what you would take to the grocery store. Select Menu from the
- View menu. This is a sample of a menu that shows what meals are
- planned on each day.
-
- When you get to the point that you want to enter your own data,
- you may either modify the existing data, or delete it and start
- over. To completely delete the data and start over, be sure that
- GMW isn't running, and go to the directory that GMW was
- installed in and delete all the data files by typing the
- following command at a DOS prompt: "Del *.IS?".
