SCBATRAK INSTALLATION NOTES
---------------------------
If you received SCBATRAK from a computer bulletin board system, the
automatic installation program has not been included in order to reduce
the file size. To use the program, follow these instructions:
1. Make a new directory on your hard drive named SCBATRAK using
the DOS command: md \scbatrak and then press Enter
2. Change to the new directory using the DOS command:
cd\scbatrak and then press Enter
3. Extract all of the files from the archive into the new directory.
4. To run the program, use the command:
scbatrak and then press Enter
==============================================================================
If you received SCBATRAK on a 360K 5 1/4" diskette, it is supplied in a
"self-extracting archive" format. This means the program has been
electronically smushed into the smallest possible size to fit on the
diskette. It also means there was no room for the automatic installation
program. To install SCBATRAK from a 360K diskette, follow these steps:
1. Make a new directory on your hard drive named SCBATRAK using
the DOS command: md \scbatrak and then press Enter
2. Change to the new directory using the DOS command:
cd\scbatrak and then press Enter
3. Extract the program using the following command. This example assumes
the SCBATRAK diskette is in the A drive:
a:scbatr20 and then press Enter
4. The program will now be extracted. To run the program, use the command:
scbatrak and then press Enter
If you are upgrading a current installation, the archive will detect the
presence of the old files with the same name as the new files. The archive
will ask something like this: FEATURES.DOC Overwrite [Y/N]
Just keep typing the Y key each time it asks the question until the
program is fully extracted.
==============================================================================
If you received the program on a 720K 3 1/2" diskette, an automatic
installation program is provided. Switch to the floppy drive where the
SCBATRAK disk is inserted, type INSTALL and press Enter (INSTALL /M if
you do not have a color monitor). If you have absolutely no idea what the
instructions on the screen are telling you, just keep pressing the Enter
key or answering Y to the questions and the program will be installed.
To use the program, change to the directory where SCBATRAK is installed,
type SCBATRAK at the DOS prompt and press Enter. If you decide to print
the documentation (a.k.a. the file MANUAL.DOC), be advised that it's about
forty pages long.
===============================================================================
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR USERS OF SCBABOTL:
-------------------------------------
If you are replacing an SCBABOTL installation with SCBATRAK, and you are
limited on how much free disk space you have available, the install
program may tell you there is not enough room to install the program. The
install program needs 680K of free disk space before it will run. If this
is the case, try deleting your SCBABOTL.EXE file to free up enough disk
space.
If you are a registered user of SCBABOTL, SCBATRAK will automatically
convert your data files to the new format. If you have not yet registered,
it won't. You will have to manually reenter all of your data or register.
===============================================================================
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR PERSONS UPGRADING FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION OF SCBATRAK
------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the installation program runs, it will detect the presence of your
current SCBATRAK.EXE file. It will ask you if you want to reinstall the
program. Answer Y for YES.
