INSTALLATION
"Unpacking" the Distributed Program
If you received the program from a shareware distributor in "packed" form,
you must first "unpack" it according to their instructions (the fact that
you are reading this means either that you must have already done so, or
you did not receive it in packed format).
Using the WINDOWS SETUP Program
(Not included on 5 1/4" diskettes)
Place the original diskette (or diskette containing unpacked files) in drive
A:, B:, or any valid path on your computer. For Windows 3.x, from the
"Program Manager", 1) click on File, 2) click on Run, 3) type "A:SETUP.EXE"
or "<path>SETUP.EXE" (without quotation marks), and 4) then press the
enter key or click on the OK button. 5) answer any questions. For
Windows 95, do the same thing but use the Run command on the Start Menu.
When the SETUP program is complete, to run the program just click on the
Share-TAX/1040 icon.
Unlocking the program under WINDOWS
When you receive the code to unlock all features of the program, just click
on the Key icon and enter the data requested. However, you may install and
try out the program before receiving the code.
Using the DOS INSTALL Program
Place the original diskette (or diskette containing unpacked files) in drive
"A:", "B:" or any valid path on your computer. Then at the DOS prompt, type
"A:INSTALL", "B:INSTALL" or "<path>INSTALL", respectively, and answer the
questions.
Unlocking the program under DOS
When you receive the code to unlock all features of the program, 1) make
the directory where you installed the program the current directory (e.g.
At the DOS prompt type CD \STAX96), 2) Then at the DOS prompt run the
INSTALL program again (type "INSTALL"), 3) Answer YES that you want
to unlock the program, and 4) Then enter the data requested.
If you have a Monochrome Screen (DOS Users)
If you have a monochrome screen and you have difficulty reading it, start
the program in monochrome mode by running with the /B option (run it by
typing "STAX96 /B" at the DOS prompt). This may not be necessary with all
monochrome screens, but is likely to be quite necessary with some laptops.
You should then select "monochrome" on the COLOR screen, and next time you
run the program it will remember your preferences without typing the "/B".
Older Computers Without a Mouse (DOS Users)
If your DOS is 3.0 or later, then the program checks to see if you have a
mouse. If you want the program to assume that you do not have a mouse, and
to not even check for one, run it with the /N option (Example, at the DOS
prompt type: "STAX96 /N").
For DOS earlier than 3.0, the program assumes that you do not have a mouse
and will not even check for one. The reason is that some older computers
will hang with a blank screen when the program checks for a mouse. If in
this case you do have a mouse, run the program with tne /M option (Example,
at the DOS prompt type: "STAX96 /M").
Documentation
Complete documentation is in file STAX96.MAN, which is best viewed or
printed while running the program. Select the "About/View Manual" or
"Print/Print Manual" pull-down menu functions.
