- 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.
