- ===== Packing List =====================================
-
- As released by the author or publisher, this package contained the
- following files in addition to this VENDINFO.DIZ:
-
- Filename Size Date Time CRC32
- FILE_ID.DIZ 361 4-Jun-1996 01:32a FCF06F64
- INSTALL.EXE 1043052 14-Jun-1996 01:32a 0FB498BA
- README.TXT 821 7-Apr-1996 01:32a B070E09E
-
-
- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- The installation procedure for NuTest is quite simple. The
- package includes a program, "INSTALL.EXE", which automates the
- entire process. You will need about 2Mbytes of available disk space
- on the hard drive on which you plan to install NuTest.
-
- The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
- NuTest.
-
- IMPORTANT NOTE
-
- You must use INSTALL to transfer the files from the installation disk,
- do NOT use COPY. This is because the files have been compressed to fit
- them on the distribution disk and will not be useable in compressed
- form. INSTALL automatically expands them as it copies them to your
- working directory.
-
- INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
-
- To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
-
- o Place the NuTest distribution diskette in the
- appropriate diskette drive.
-
- o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program on the distribution diskette
- using File Manager or Program manager in the usual way.
-
- o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
- You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
- are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
- program will ask you for a destination directory and will copy
- the NuTest files to that directory. If you so direct it, the
- installation program will install executable programs and
- documentation in other directories of your choice. It will NOT
- modify your autoexec.bat or config.sys files.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
-
- If you downloaded NuTest from a BBS (or received it in the form of
- archive files from some other source), you will need to perform the
- following steps.
-
- o Extract the contents of the archive file in a temporary
- directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this
- varies, depending on the form in which you received the package.
- In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means
- that you already have the necessary tools and knowledge to
- perform this step. If not, you should be able to obtain
- directions for this from the same source from which you
- received the package.
-
- o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program in the temporary directory
- using File Manager or Program manager in the usual way.
- You will have a chance to approve installation before any
- changes are actually made to the contents of your hard
- drive. The program will ask you for a destination directory,
- and will copy the NuTest files to that directory. If you
- so direct it, the installation program will install
- executable programs and documentation in other directories of
- your choice. it will NOT modify your autoexec.bat or
- config.sys files.
-
- When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
- delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed NuTest
- (C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
-
-
- YOU'RE READY TO GO
-
- Once you've complete the installation you should find a new MORSE
- program group in Program Manager or a new item in the Start button list
- if you are using Windows 95. I hope you enjoy using NuTest.
-
-
-
- If you are running NuTest under Windows95 then the program tabs may
- be obscured by the Windows95 Task Bar when using certain screen
- resolutions. You can avoid this problem by setting the Windows95 Task
- Bar to Autohide.
