IF YOU ARE CONVERTING FROM AN EARLIER RELEASE OF SIMPLE AR:
You must run the conversion program on your existing COMPANY.DAT
file. Refer to the instructions contained in the CONVERT.DOC
file. If you do not run the conversion program, you will get
a halt with the message "invalid record declaration."
TO RUN OR INSTALL AFTER HAVING UNPACKING FROM ZIP ARCHIVE:
To print the documentation type COPY AR.DOC PRN and press Enter
at the DOS prompt.
To print this file type COPY READ.ME PRN and press Enter at the
DOS prompt.
To install Simple AR, type INSTALL and press Enter. The data
files will be created and the AR program started. Press F1 to
get help.
To start Simple AR after it has been installed, type AR and
press Enter.
To register your copy of Simple AR, print the registration form
by typing COPY REGISTER.DOC PRN; then press Enter. Obtain a
a registration code by filling out the form and mailing it as
explained in AR.DOC. When you have your registration code,
complete your registration by typing AR /Rxxxxx; then press
Enter (where xxxxx is the registration code).
TO RUN OR INSTALL FROM CD-ROM:
To run from CD-ROM without installing the software on your hard
disk (as you may wish to do for evaluation purposes), first create
an empty directory where Simple AR can create its data files and log
to that directory; then type X:\AR_SIM13\INSTALL, where X is the
drive letter of your CD-ROM.
To install from CD-ROM, type the following lines (where your hard
disk is drive c, your CD-ROM is drive X, and you wish to install
into the \ar subdirectory--please change these assignments to match
your system):
md c:\ar
copy X:\ar_sim13 c:\ar
c:
cd \ar
install
MINIMUM NECESSARY FILES TO RUN SIMPLE AR:
Once Simple AR is installed, you may run it using only AR.EXE and AR.HLP.
In addition, PC-8 may be useful to you (see below). None of the other files
are needed to run the program and may be safely removed from your system.
(You should keep a copy of the original distribution file, typically
AR_SIMxx.ZIP, where xx denotes the version number.)
TO FIX PRINTING OF FUNNY CHARACTERS INSTEAD OF LINES AND BOXES:
To print line graphics on an HP LaserJet, type COPY PC-8 PRN and
press Enter. You may need to do this each time before running
Simple AR if your LaserJet or compatible printer is printing
"funny" characters in place of line graphics.
