Thank you for trying Pitbull 3.0: This program is a 32-BIT program. It requires a 32-bit operating system, like Windows 95. If you are not running a 32-bit OS, there is an extender provided.

Remember export regulations though. -- Installation Instructions: If you are not running a 32-bit OS (in dos shell) IE: Windows 95, then install will use CWSDPMI. If you want it to terminate and stay resident, run CWSDPMI -p and -u to uninstall it. If CWSDPMI is in the same dir as the 32bit program you are trying to run, it will run itself auto- matically. To install, unzip to a temporary directory and type install. Enter the pathname you wish to install to. IE: c:\pitbull notice there is not \ at the end of pitbull. Do not put one there. To read PITBULL.DOC you need Wordpad for WIN 95 To read PITBULL.TXT you should use the more command. EX: more pitbull.txt To read REG.DOC use view.exe or any other text viewer. If you have trouble with installing, make sure you have sufficient hard drive space, you are in the temp directory when you run install, you do not already have the path you are trying to install to, and all the files are intact and present. ALSO: IF INSTALL DOES NOT PROPERLY UNPAK THE PITBULL.DAT FILE... Then you need to reboot. Sometimes this happens with computers not running a 32 bit OS. The problem does not lie in install or dba.exe it lies in the OS. Just reboot and install again. Make sure you remove the old install directory first though.
