NOTE: if you have been using a version of this program prior to 1.24, please
refer to the file V123BUG.TXT for information regarding a critical bug!
INSTALLATION
------------
The installation utility provided (INSTALL.EXE) will install Professional
Carrier on your hard disk drive, and will also check to see that your system
meets all of the program requirements.
If you received this program on floppy disks, simply insert the disk (Disk #1
if there are multiple disks) into your floppy disk drive, type A:INSTALL (or
B:INSTALL), and press the [ENTER] key.
If you received this program electronically (i.e. as a ZIP file), simply
extract the contents of the ZIP file to an *empty* temporary subdirectory on
your hard drive, switch to that subdirectory, type INSTALL and press [ENTER].
Then select the "Install from hard drive" option to begin the installation.
SUBDIRECTORY/PROGRAM LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
--------------------------------------------
IF: you have been using a previous version of *THIS* product, you should
install this version into the *same* subdirectory that you installed
the previous version. This will allow this newer version to properly
update your existing files while still maintaining any existing data
that you have already entered.
IF: you have been using our Paper Route Ledger program, and are upgrading to
this program, you *SHOULD NOT* install this program into the same sub-
directory as your existing PRL files. You should install this program
into its own, separate subdirectory. See the "Upgrading Instructions"
contained in the manual, or supplied separately.
(Please note that you can indeed use your existing customer data files
from the Paper Route Ledger program -- refer to the file PRL-DATA.TXT
for details and instructions)
Since we may have changed the "default" installation directory during our
update process, be sure to check this carefully when the installation
program asks you for the subdirectory to install to.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
--------------------
The following system parameters need to be checked and possibly modified in
order for the Professional Carrier program to function properly....
You will need to check the FILES and BUFFERS settings in your CONFIG.SYS
file (the install program will check this, and give you the opportunity to
modify it you want to). If you don't already have at least 40 FILES and 40
BUFFERS, please change these lines accordingly (or let the installation
program do it for you):
FILES=40
BUFFERS=40
Also, your AUTOEXEC.BAT file must contain the following line:
SET CLIPPER=F45
(the "F" value in the above SET command should always be "5" more than the
FILES= setting. For example, if you have FILES=60, then the SET statement
should be SET CLIPPER=F65. Unfortunately, our installation utility is not
capable of setting the Clipper statement for values other than 45, so you'll
need to double-check your AUTOEXEC.BAT file if your CONFIG.SYS file sets
your FILES= setting to a value greater than 40)
If you don't allow the install program to make any necessary modifications,
then you will need to make the changes manually.
Either way, if there are any changes made, you will need to reboot your
system in order for these changes to take effect.
