- INSTALLING / RUNNING THE PROGRAM
- --------------------------------
- APCAL 3.20
-
- This file contains installation instructions and other important
- information.
-
- Shareware distributors who wish to distribute this program should
- read the file VENDOR.DOC for information on our distribution
- policy. This file also contains information that may help you in
- evaluating and writing descriptions for this software in your
- catalog, on your BBS or however you distribute shareware.
-
- The file SHAREWAR.DOC describes what shareware is, for those who
- may be new to shareware. It also describes our registration
- policy, how to go about registering, what you get with registra-
- tion and the ASP Ombudsman statement. The Association of Shareware
- Professionals (ASP) sets standards for shareware authors (like
- Gamma Software) to ensure that shareware works for you (the end
- user).

-
- INSTALLING / RUNNING THE PROGRAM
- --------------------------------
- Since this program is distributed through shareware we cannot
- completely control the format in which you receive your copy. The
- first step in installing this software is to get it into a
- directory on your hard disk. All the files must be in the same
- directory. The steps necessary to do this will vary depending on
- the format in which you received your copy.
-
- This may involve uncompressing the files if you received them
- in a compressed format. For example, if there is a file with a
- .ZIP, .ARC or .LZH extension (these are the most common, there are
- others). The vendor should provide you with the necessary
- instructions and tools to accomplish this.
-
- If the files are not compressed then you can simply copy them to a
- directory on your hard disk. See your DOS manual for information
- on how to make a directory and copy the files.
-
- Once the files are in a directory on your hard disk, go through
- the "Installation" and "Getting Started" sections of the manual.
- The "Installation" section also contains information on running the
- program on a floppy disk only system.
-
-
- PRINTING THE MANUAL
- -------------------
- To print the manual enter the following command.
-
- C:\APCAL\APCAL
-
- Replace the text "C:\APCAL" with the directory in which you loaded
- APCAL. Press the Tab key until the "Print Manual" option is
- highlighted. Make sure your printer is on and on-line. Then press
- the Enter key. The program will display a menu telling you how many
- pages the manual requires to print. Press the Y key and Enter to
- print the manual.
-
-
- THE SHAREWARE MESSAGE SCREEN
- ----------------------------
- The first screen has a brief message describing shareware and has
- options for registering, printing the manual and bringing up a list
- of what you get with registration. You are initially placed in the
- "Enter X to continue." field. To continue on to the rest of the
- program simply type the letter that follows "Enter" (note - it must
- be capital).
