ChronoLog Version 1.11 - QUICK INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
If you have a ChronoLog "master" diskette(s), one 3 1/2" or two 5 1/4"
floppy(s), the files are not compressed. There should be at least 15 files.
See the file PACKING.LST for a listing of the minimum files required. Do
not erase any of the system files!
This procedure works the same for a first-time installation, or an upgrade
(replacing an already installed version with a newer one).
Use the following procedure to install:
- Insert the 3 1/2" floppy or 5 1/4" floppy #1 (contains the
file CLINST.EXE) into a floppy drive.
- At the DOS prompt, type A:CLINST (or B:CLINST if that is the drive).
This runs the ChronoLog System Installation Program which will
create a subdirectory on your hard drive and copy the system files
into it. (If loading from 5 1/4" floppy, you will be prompted to
insert floppy #2.). CLINIT (the ChronoLog Database Initialization
Program) and then CHRONO will both execute automatically.
***
If you have the ChronoLog files compressed into a single file (the
file name should be CHRON110.xxx, where xxx is the compression
extension such as ZIP, or EXE if it is a self-extracting file),
use the following installation procedure:
- You do not need to run CLINST. Instead make sure that the
compressed file has been copied to the subdirectory on your
hard drive wherein you want the ChronoLog system files to reside.
- Decompress CHRON110.xxx. If the decompress is successful,
you may delete CHRON110.xxx.
- There should be at least 15 files when decompressed. See the
file PACKING.LST for a listing of the minimum files required.
- Type CLINIT (the ChronoLog Database Initialization Program) to
initialize a database in the subdirectory where the system files
reside. CHRONO will then execute automatically.
NOTE: While the current version number is 1.11, ChronoLog will continue
to be listed on U.S. BBS as CHRON110.xxx. Version 1.11 adds only the
capability to convert date and time formats to foreign representations.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS
The installation program CLINST is provided to assist the novice user. If
you encounter any problems, you may accomplish the same purpose by:
(1) MANUALLY CREATING A SUBDIRECTORY ON YOUR HARD DRIVE, (2) COPYING ALL
SYSTEM FILES INTO THE SUBDIRECTORY, (3) RUNNING CLINIT, and (4) RUNNING
CHRONO.
IMPORTANT!!! If this is an evaluation copy of ChronoLog which you
purchased from a disk distributor (shareware catalog), please do not
contact the distributor to request a refund if you have problems. This
tends to make vendors remove shareware products from their catalogs!
Instead, contact me at the address or phone number above, or via
CompuServe or Prodigy (USERID's are in the user's manual), and together
we will work it out!
