3. If you received this version directly from Mustang Software, Inc or
perhaps your User Group or Shareware Vendor, then you should have
received two diskettes. To Install, simply place the disk
labeled INSTALL in Drive A: and Type
INSTALL [ENTER]
Upon presentation of the Main Installation Menu, proceed to
configure Installation defaults such as Archive directory, Wildcat
TD destination, etc. Pressing [ENTER] on the desired field will
allow editing of the defaults. If any specified paths are not
found, the user will be notified of this and they will be created
by the installation program.
INSTALL PROGRAM OPTIONS
Select
Upon selection of this option, the user is presented with a window
outlining the nine choices for installation of the various files
and utility programs.
ALL - selects for installation all Menus, Display files,
Bulletins and Utility programs as well as the Test Drive
Documentation, which can optionally be printed out after
installation is complete by selecting "Y" where "Print
Documents" is indicated on the Main Menu. INSTALL defaults to
ALL, as this is the normal choice for first time
installations.
SCREENS - selects for installation all Display screens,
including both Color and Non-Color versions, but excluding
Menus, Help Files, and Bulletins.
MENUS - selects for installation all customizable Menus.
HELP FILES - selects for installation all Color as well as
Non-color Help files.
BULLETINS - selects for installation all Bulletin Files,
including sample Bulletins and Menu.
MISC - selects for installation the file ALL.OK, used during
external protocol file transfers. See the appropriate
sections of the documentation for a discussion of this file.
UTILITIES - selects for installation all utility programs such
as the MAKEWILD setup program and the FIX! series utilities.
DOCUMENTS - selects for installation the WILDCAT! Test Drive
Documentation for extraction. This must be done before it can
be printed, whether from DOS or via the "Print Documents"
option.
PROGRAM - selects for installation the WILDCAT! executable
files.
Go
upon selection of this option, all selected files are de-
archived into their respective directories, and all other
options are carried out as defined.
Quit
This option immediately returns the user to the DOS prompt.
Upgrading 1.03 : N
Select this option if you are upgrading from WILDCAT! ver.
1.03SW. After selecting GO, the current Databases will be
upgraded to the Test-Drive format, and you current MAKEWILD
configuration will be converted.
Configure WILDCAT!: N
Selection of this option will cause the MAKEWILD configuration
program to be invoked after all selected files have been
installed. Since MAKEWILD must be invoked after installation
prior to running WILDCAT!, this option should be set to Y for
most installations. Note that MAKEWILD must be run even if
upgrading from a prior version.
Create .BAT files: Y
Select this option if you wish to have the Install program
create your batch files for starting WILDCAT!, as well as
ZUP.BAT and ZDOWN.BAT for use with ZMODEM as an external
protocol.
Overwrite Files : Y
Select this option if you have existing WILDCAT! files you
wish to overwrite. If you are upgrading from a prior release
you will want to overwrite many file, such as the actual
WILDCAT! program, but may want to refrain from overwriting
others, such as your custom display files. You can specify Y
to overwrite files, and make use of the overwrite confirmation
(next question) to select precisely which to overwrite and
which to keep.
Confirm Overwrite: Y
Select this option if you wish to be prompted before any pre-
existing files are over-written during the de-archiving
process.
Print Documents : Y
Select this option if, upon completion of the installation
process, you wish to have the INSTALL program print the Test
Drive Documentation to your printer (device PRN). Make sure
your printer is On-Line and has plenty of paper, as the
documentation is over 180 pages! You will need the
documentation to run and setup a WILDCAT! system.
After completing the questions, select GO and your program will
install itself on your hard disk.
