DIMANAGE 3.5 -- The no-nonsense property manager
======================================================================
INSTALLATION
======================================================================
To install DIMANAGE 3.5, simply make sure that INSTALL.EXE and
DIMA35.BLC are on the same diskette or in the same directory on your
hard drive. Then just type the following at the DOS prompt:
INSTALL C:\DIMANAGE
or, if the files are on a different drive
A:INSTALL C:\DIMANAGE
You may substitute another hard drive name (such as D:) if you want the
program installed on another drive, or you may substitute another
directory name (such as \mydir) if you want the program installed in a
directory with a name other than \DIMANAGE.
SPECIAL NOTE: If you have been evaluating an earlier version of
DIMANAGE, you should install this version in a different directory.
The database structures for DIMANAGE 3.5 are not the same as those used
in earlier versions, and the shareware installation program cannot
convert your files to the new structures. (This is necessary to keep
the size of the shareware distribution package reasonable for thse who
might want to download it from a bulletin board system.) If you would
like to convert your files, contact us and we will send you an
installation program that will convert your databases for use with
DIMANAGE 3.5. As an alternative, you can do the conversion yourself,
using the database structures provided in the manual and any program
that can handle standard xBASE files. If you decide to register, the
installation program that comes with your registered copy will convert
your databases automatically.
Documentation for DIMANAGE is included in this package. To obtain a
printed copy, simply type:
COPY DIMANAGE.DOC PRN
The documentation is formatted to fit on 8-1/2" x 11" paper, at 60
lines per page.
