- CAD Vantage 1.00
-
- This file contains installation instructions and other important
- information.
-
- Shareware distributors who wish to distribute this program should
- read the file VENDOR.TXT for information on our distribution
- policy. This file also contains information that may help you in
- evaluating and writing descriptions for this software in your
- catalog, on your BBS or however you distribute shareware.
-
- The file SHAREWAR.TXT describes what shareware is, for those who
- may be new to shareware. It also describes our registration
- policy, how to go about registering, what you get with registra-
- tion and the ASP Ombudsman statement. The Association of Shareware
- Professionals (ASP) sets standards for shareware authors (like
- Gamma Software) to ensure that shareware works for you (the end
- user).

- INSTALLING / RUNNING THE PROGRAM
- --------------------------------
- Since this program is distributed through shareware we cannot
- completely control the format in which you receive your copy. The
- first step in installing this software is to get it into a
- directory on your hard disk. All the files must be in the same
- directory. The steps necessary to do this will vary depending on
- the format in which you received your copy.
-
- This may involve uncompressing the files if you received them
- in a compressed format. For example if there is a file with a
- .ZIP, .ARC or .LZH extension (these are the most common, there are
- others). The vendor should provide you with the necessary
- instructions and tools to accomplish this.
-
- If the files are not compressed then you can simply copy them to a
- directory on your hard disk. You can accomplish this using the
- Windows File Manager. See your Windows manual for information on
- how to make a directory and copy the files.
-
- Once the files are in a directory on your hard disk you can run
- the program by selecting "Run" from the "File" menu on the
- Program Mananger menu bar. Then type the following in the
- "Command Line" box.
-
- C:\CADV\CADV
-
- Replace the path "C:\CADV\" with the path in which you installed
- CAD Vantage. Then select the "OK" button. The program will then
- load.
-
- The first screen has a brief message describing shareware and has
- options for registering and bringing up a list of what you get
- with registration. You are initially placed in the "Enter X to
- continue." field. To continue on to the rest of the program
- simply type the letter that follows "Enter" (note - it must be
- capital).
-
- At this point you should probably go through the "Getting Started"
- section of the manual to get a brief overview of the program.
-
-
- PRINTING THE MANUAL
- -------------------
- To print the manual click on the MS-DOS icon in the Main Program
- Manager group. At the DOS prompt change to the drive and
- directory that contains the CAD Vantage software and type:
-
- PRINT MANUAL.TXT
-
- This will send the manual to the printer. Make sure the printer
- is on and on-line before executing this command. The manual
- takes around 50 pages to print.
