- Installation
- ------------
-
- Methods of installation vary depending on where you got this software from.
- If installation instructions have been provided separately, please follow
- them.
- If you downloaded this software from an on-line service you should unzip
- any .ZIP files into a new directory (eg. TREEDRAW) on your hard disk.
-
- If you are installing both TreeDraw and Kith and Kin it is helpful to
- install them into the same directory.
-
- Run TREEDRAW.EXE from the File Manager or create a new program item in the
- Program Manager and double click on the TreeDraw icon.
- You can launch TreeDraw from a Chart File (.TDR) if you have associated
- .TDR files with TREEDRAW.EXE in the File Manager.
- The program (.EXE), help (.HLP) and options (.OPT/.OP2/.INI) files must all
- reside in the same directory.
-
- The files BWCC.DLL and SS_DATE.DLL should reside in either the TREEDRAW or
- WINDOWS\SYSTEM directories or in another directory in your PATH. Since
- BWCC.DLL is a common DLL you may already have it on your system in which
- case you need only one copy available. Make sure that the copies you have
- on your system are the same version as those on the release disk.

- the command "type treedraw.txt > prn".
