Installation:
Use the Window's Program Manager to start the Install program. Use the
'Run' menuitem under the 'File' Menu. You may browse to B:\install or
simply type in B:install in the 'Command Line' box. The installion program
will open a window and give you two choices, "Install", "Exit". Choose
"Install", this will open up a new window and the program will read your
system to check for already existing files and suggest a path (place) for
the installation. Help is available here too. From this point you may
continue with the installation or exit out. To Continue select the 'Begin'
button, this starts the actual installation of files. The installation
program DOES NOT modify your Autoexec.bat, Config.sys, or Win.ini, files
in any way. After installation you may double click the File Magician icon
which will present you with a message window stating that the configuration
for FM cannot be located and that the default configuration is in effect.
File Magician has its own configuration file that will be created when
you have 'Saved' the configuration setting while running File Magician.
If you installed to a previous FM location, File Magician will detect this
and ask you if you wish it to try and reconfigure itself from your old
configuration file. 9 times out of 10 it is successfull! Then you must
resave the configuration before exiting or else the process will be repeated
with the next FM bootup.
Please Note that most of the files on this disk are in a compressed format
and it is necessary for installation that the install.exe program be used.
This is a insert from the main documentary file and really must be stressed!
First and Most important before running File Magician!
For Best results..
1. Double Click on Window's pif editor.
2. Select 'Open' from the File Menu.
3. Select _default.pif from the selection box, then press 'OK'.
4. Locate 'Windowed' button and select to on. This is a radio button
and if a dot appears in the middle of the circle it is then on.
5. Locate 'Close Window On Exit' button and select to on. This
is a X type button and a 'X' in the square is on.
6. Now from the File Menu select 'Save As'.
7. The filename and path "C:\Windows\_default.pif" should be hi-lited
in the file name box, if so, press 'OK', if not enter in your
windows path adding the _default.pif filename and click 'OK'
8. A Dialog box will appear and inform you that the file already
exists and ask you if you wish to 'Replace existing file?'. Select
'Yes'
Doing this is the only windows adjustment that you must make. You may then
decide where you wish place File Magician and what icon you may want it to
have.
NOTE:
Programs such as any of the Pkware products, lha, and arj, really should
be in your dos, windows, or systems, directories. Windows it seems does
not really honor the path environment as much as it claims when executing
external programs. If you have trouble with the Archive Commander then
place these programs there.
NEXT Important thing.. File Magician's Configuration..
Thanks!
