Installing Calc98 on Windows NT, Windows95 or Windows98

The Calc98 files are compressed either as a self-extracting zip file (C98xxxx.exe) or as a zip file (C98xxxx.zip). Self-extracting files can be unpacked by running the file (e.g. by double-clicking the icon). You can choose the directory where you want the files to go, or use the default (recommended). Otherwise, the files can be unpacked using a utility such as zip, WinZip or PKUNZIP. The self-extracting zip file will run a setup utility which will add shortcuts to your Start menu or desktop. If this does not run automatically you can start it by double-clicking on setup.exe in the Calc98 directory.

Once the files are unpacked, Calc98 is ready to run. You can do this by double clicking on the file CALC.EXE from "My Computer" or Explorer, or using the shortcuts installed by setup.exe. You can also manually drag CALC.EXE onto the desktop to create a shortcut. You can right click on the Start button, select Open, and drag CALC.EXE onto the Program folder (or another folder if you prefer) to add Calc98 to the Start menu.

Windows3.x

16-bit operating systems, such as Windows3.1, are not supported by Calc98. There is a 16-bit version of Calc95 which can be downloaded from our web site or from numerous archive sites, if you need to run a calculator program on Windows3.x.

WindowsCE

A version of Calc98 has been developed for WindowsCE. Please visit our web site or contact us for more information or to download the WindowsCE version.

Calc98 Directory

It is suggested that you keep all the Calc98 files together in their own directory. If you subsequently move the Calc98 component files around, make sure Calc98 is run from its own directory, otherwise it may not be able to locate some of the support files (e.g. FACTORY.PRP and help files).

Uninstalling Calc98

If you need to remove Calc98 from your system simply delete the Calc98 directory and its contents.  If you want to delete the entry from the registry, then first run the calculator and select the Data page of the Options dialog and click on the "Factory Setting" button.  Click the "Yes" button in the confirmation message, then quit the application.   You can then delete the files.  If you created any shortcuts  (e.g. on the desktop or Start Menu), you will need to remove these also.
