- GFile 2.0A Installation/Removal Instructions
- ===========================================
-
- Note - If you have not read the file README.1ST, please do so now. It
- contains particular license terms and warranty information that
- you are implicitly agreeing to by using this program.
-
- Note to GFile 2.0 Users
- =======================
-
- The files that have changed between 2.0 and 2.0A are:
- gfile.exe
- gfiledll.dll
- gfile.wri (very minor typo corrections)
- These 2/3 files are the only files you will need to replace. Be sure GFile is NOT
- running (either as an application or shell) when the new versions of gfile.exe and
- gfiledll.dll are loaded onto your system.
-
- System Requirements
- ===================
-
- To run GFile 2.0A you must be running Windows 3.1+. GFile will not start
- if you attempt to run it on a 3.0 or earlier version of Windows. It will
- check for the following 3.1 specific DLL files. These libraries must be
- present for GFile to function. They are normally installed as part of 3.1,
- however be sure they haven't been accidently deleted if GFile fails to
- run.
- shell.dll
- toolhelp.dll
- ddeml.dll
-
-
- To install GFile:
- =================
-
- 1. Determine the directory in which you wish to place the GFile files.
- It does NOT have to be the Windows directory. Create the directory
- if necessary.
-
- 2. Copy the following files into the directory:
- gfile.exe
- gfiledll.dll
- gfilecmd.pif
- gfile.hlp (optional - if not copied, no Help for GFile will be available)
- gfile.wri (very optional - this is a editable/printable version of the help file)
- If these files are already in a directory on a hard disk, this step is
- unnecessary.
-
- 3. Using Program Manager (or equivalent) create a program item for GFile.
- If the GFile files are not in the Windows directory, and are not in
- a directory that appears in the PATH variable when Windows is started,
- be sure to use the complete path/filename when specifying the Command
- Line for the item. For example, if the GFile files were installed in a
- directory whose path is C:\GFILE, the correct Commmand Line entry to
- enter when defining the item is C:\GFILE\GFILE.EXE . Failure to do this
- will result in GFile not running correctly - or at all.
-
- Thats it! One further note. If you set your Windows shell to be GFile,
- using either the GFile option 'Set Shell' or by editing SYSTEM.INI and if
- GFile is not istalled in the Windows directory or a PATH directory,
- be sure to specify the complete path/filename as described in step 3 above.
-
- To remove GFile:
-
- 1. BE SURE WINDOWS IS NOT CONFIGURED TO RUN GFILE AS THE SHELL!!! If necessary,
- correct this by using GFile's 'Set Shell' option or by editing SYSTEM.INI,
- and then leaving or restarting Windows.
-
- 2. Delete the files that were copied when you installed GFile. If relevant,
- delete the directory as well.
-
- 3. From your Windows directory, delete GFILE.INI. GFile does not create its
- own area in WIN.INI or SYSTEM.INI. Thus, no clean up of these files is
- necessary.
