FLOPYCAT Version 2.2 is a ShareWare program that runs under Windows 3.x,
Windows 95 or Windows NT
To install the package, proceed as follows:
1) Install the distribution disk in a floppy disk drive. (If you received
FLOPYCAT as a ZIP file (FLOPYC22.ZIP), then do:
a) Create a new directory (eg: C:\TEMP)
b) PKUNZIP the FLOPYC22.ZIP file into that directory
2) In Windows Program Manager, click on the FILE menu item and then on the RUN
menu entry. Enter the following in the box labelled "Command Line"
a) A:\SETUP (if you installed the FLOPYCAT disk in drive A)
b) C:\TEMP\SETUP (if you UNZIPPED the FLOPYC22.ZIP file)
3) Answer the question setup asks about where you want FLOPYCAT installed.
If you see any messages of the form:
"xxxxxxxx.DLL is in use. Please close all applicatons and re-attempt
Setup" followed by three options: ABORT RETRY IGNORE
you can safely click on the IGNORE box. This is a known problem with
Microsoft Application Installations and will not affect your install.
4) When the installation is finished (about 5 minutes), there will be a new
Group on your Program Manager desktop named FLOPYCAT, containing an item
labelled FLOPYCAT. Double-click on the FLOPYCAT item to start FLOPYCAT.
5) This program is written in Microsoft Visual Basic, and therefore it needs
the file: VBRUN300.DLL (which must be installed in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM
directory). If you do not have this file, you can download VBRUN300.EXE
from many Internet sites (login as user ANONYMOUS). Some to look at are:
ftp.microsoft.com\Softlib\MSLFILES\vbrun300.exe
ftp.agt.net\pub\cica-win3\util\vbrun300.exe
VBRUN300.EXE is a self-extracting ZIP file - just run it to create the
file VBRUN300.DLL then MOVE that file to the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
Please note that this is a ShareWare package. If you plan to keep and use
FLOPYCAT, please register your copy, and thanks for trying FLOPYCAT.
