INTRODUCTION:
=============
1. Goldmine Goal Setter is a sophisticated, professionally
developed Windows product for formulating and maintaining
a set of Life Goals.
2. Having Life Goals can radically improve the degree of
happiness, fulfilment and satisfaction you experience
while on this planet.
3. In keeping with Goldmine Systems' belief that this product
can be of immense value to you, the registration fee
has been kept very modest: On average $30, plus a $5
shipping fee. (The actual fee varies according to your
income level.)
4. You are strongly encouraged to take the concept of this
product seriously: You can reap major personal rewards!!
INSTALLATION:
=============
1. If you have the three diskettes in zipped or packed format,
you need to unpack them, twice, to two sets of diskettes.
If the diskettes are in ready-to-install condition,
then simply take a backup copy of the three diskettes.
One set of diskettes is to be used for
installation, and the other set is for backup purposes,
and / or for giving away to your friends.
2. The installation procedure modifies install disk one
to contain the installer's name (and organisation if
relevant). Subsequent installations from those disks will
inform the new installer of the original installer's name.
3. If Windows is not running, start it up.
4. Make sure that you have at least 5MB of free disk space on
your hard drive.
Note: If you use an operating system which
has disk compression, and compressed disk space, it is
recommended that two of Goldmine Goal Setter's files be
installed in UNCOMPRESSED disk space. This is due to the
fact that the files are relational database structures,
with sophisticated record-retrieval algorithms,
which can be slowed down if the files are in compressed
disk space.
The two files are:
- GOALMINE.MDB
- GOALMIGS.MDB .
5. Put the diskette labelled Disk 1 in the A: drive.
6. Run, under Windows, A:\setup.exe . A standard
Microsoft-style Windows installation then begins.
7. NOTE: It is recommended that Goldmine Goal Setter
be installed in the default directory: C:\Goalmine.
If you do not install it in this directory, you need to
take special action, detailed later in this document.
8. Follow the on-screen installation instructions.
9. The installation procedure might request you to re-boot your
system after installation. Do so, if required.
10. After installation, double-click on the Goal Setter icon
to start Goldmine Goal Setter.
11. You will first see a screen saying 'Welcome to Goldmine'.
If you installed the product in C:\Goalmine, Press OK.
(If not, see the special instructions later in this
document.)
12. You will then see a screen showing product registration
details. Read the information, and fill in personal
details such as name, and especially your date of birth.
You are not at this time registering the product,
although you are most welcome to!
Your date of birth is used for generating goal target dates
for age-specific goals.
13. After entering your date of birth, press the button
labelled: Update Age-Specific Target Dates.
14. After that, a small window will appear showing you the
age-specific target dates. Press the Close button.
Goldmine Goal Setter comes with some sample goals
based on a date of birth of January 1, 1970.
15. Press the Registration Benefits button and read the
contents. Press OK when finished.
16. Press the Licence button, and read the contents. Press the
Exit button in the top right-hand corner of the screen
when finished. This will take you back to the Registration
screen.
17. On the Registration screen, press OK. This will take you
to Goldmine Goal Setter's main menu.
18. Display the Getting Started help topic by pressing F1.
Follow the instructions in that topic to get an overview
of Goldmine Goal Setter.
19. You are now ready to let Goldmine Goal Setter start
revolutionising your life!!!
