│ Eclectic Avenue Installation Program Instructions │
╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
Eclectic Avenue uses subdirectories to organize and maintain program
files. Therefore, the installation program INSTALL.EXE has been
provided to make installation as smooth as possible.
Subdirectories that Eclectic Avenue uses are explained below.
Subdirectory Name Description
───────────────── ────────────────────────────────────────
ANSFILES\ This is where Eclectic Avenue stores all
ANSI support files used by the program.
MESSAGES\ This is where Eclectic Avenue stores all
message text files. Eclectic Avenue
maintains a database of message headers
in the Eclectic Avenue subdirectory. Each
message has a text body attachment
filename related to it. These
attachments are stored in this sub-
directory.
TXTFILES\ This is where Eclectic Avenue stores all
the square description text (##.TXT)
files.
TRIVIA\ This is where Eclectic Avenue stores the
textual portion of all trivia questions.
Eclectic Avenue maintains a database of
trivia question headers in the Eclectic
Avenue subdirectory. Each question
header has a text question attachment
filename related to it. These attach-
ments are stored in this subdirectory.
When you unpacked the Eclectic Avenue distribution archive, the
following files were unpacked:
EA.NEW
INSTALL.DOC
INSTALL.DAT
INSTALL.EXE
Be sure to read the EA.NEW text file. This is the program revision
history and release notes documents. It may contain important
information regarding updates, upgrade instructions and other critical
information.
To install or upgrade the Eclectic Avenue program files, please
complete the following steps:
1) If this is a first-time installation, create a subdirectory for
Eclectic Avenue. For the purposes of providing examples, we will
use the subdirectory C:\BBS\ECLECTIC.
2) Unpack the distribution archive or copy the files listed above
into the \BBS\ECLECTIC subdirectory or into your existing Eclectic
Avenue subdirectory.
3) Change to the \BBS\ECLECTIC subdirectory.
4) Execute INSTALL.EXE. The INSTALL program will now create the
necessary subdirectories and will also place files into the
appropriate subdirectories. This will not harm existing
installations.
5) Upon completion, INSTALL.EXE will exit, leaving you in the Eclectic
Avenue subdirectory.
6) At this point, you will need to read EA.DOC and follow the
configuration procedures outlined therein (if this is your first
installation). If you are upgrading from a previous release,
follow the instructions outlined in EA.NEW.
Once installed, you may wish to delete the INSTALL.* files as they
will no longer be needed.
