- 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.
