- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- IMPORTANT!!! Please Read:
-
- The install program AND Grocery Manager REQUIRE that VBRUN200.DLL be in
- one of the directories in your path, your Windows directory, or your
- Windows System directory, or they won't run.
-
- VBRUN200.DLL isn't included in this archive because many people already
- have it, it's big (357K), and it is very annoying to have a big file
- included that you already have. It can be found separately on many
- BBS'es and it is available on the WINSHARE forum on Compuserve as
- VBRUN2.ZIP.
-
- Be sure a copy of VBRUN200.DLL is in your path, your Windows directory,
- or your Windows System directory, then follow the instructions below:
-
-
- {{ UPGRADING FROM v.1.00 - V.2.02 }}
-
- If you're currently using version 2.02 or older of GMW, and you want to
- continue using the information you've saved in the previous version,
- run the install program, but be sure to do the following before telling
- the install program to proceed:
-
- 1) Select a different directory and Program Manager Group than your
- current version.
-
- 2) Deselect "Sample Data Files".
-
- After installing this version, copy all the *.IS? files from your
- previous version's directory to the directory you installed this version
- in.
-
- Run CONVERT.EXE (it's the CONVERT icon, if you let the install program
- make a Program Manager Group) to convert your existing data to this
- version's format. Click on the "Help" menu selection in CONVERT.EXE to
- read specific details about the conversion program. After successfully
- converting your data, you are ready to use this version of GMW.
-
-
- {{ UPGRADING FROM V.2.10 or newer }}
-
- If you're currently using version 2.10 or newer of GMW, and you
- want to continue using the information you've saved in the previous
- version, DON'T use the install program. Instead, copy these files from
- the archive to your GMW directory:
-
- GMW.EXE
- GMW_DOCS.WRI
- GMW.HLP
-
- You may delete the file SPIN.VBX, which should be in your GMW
- directory. GMW no longer uses it.
-
- {{ FIRST TIME INSTALLATION of GROCERY MANAGER FOR WINDOWS }}
-
- Automatic Install:
-
- Unzip the GMW archive onto a floppy or into an empty directory on your
- hard drive. While in Windows, start INSTALL.EXE. You will be presented
- with a default directory and Program Manager Group for GMW to be
- installed into. These can be changed to anything you want, but please
- keep GMW in its own directory. Select "No" if you don't want a program
- group created for GMW (Install defaults to "Yes"), and then click on
- the start button. Click on the Exit button when the installation is
- complete, and then delete all files from the directory you unzipped
- the GMW archive into.
-
- Manual Install:
-
- Place VBISAMMX.DLL in your Windows System directory, create a directory
- for GMW, and place all remaining files into it.
-
-
- {{ GMW SAMPLE FILES AND A QUICK TOUR OF GMW }}
-
- Included with GMW are some sample files so you can evaluate GMW without
- having to manually enter any data. These files are copied to your hard
- drive during the automatic installation. The sample files will enable
- you to see how Grocery Manager works.
-
- Immediately after installing GMW, go to the View menu, and browse
- through the various screens to view. The sample files are set up so that
- you can view or printout a sample menu and shopping list without going
- through the usual steps to make one. Select Shopping List from the View
- menu. This is an example of what you would take to the grocery store.
- Select Menu from the View menu. This is a sample of a menu that shows
- what meals are planned on each day.
-
- When you get to the point that you want to enter your own data, you may
- either modify the existing data, or delete it and start over. To
- completely delete the data and start over, be sure that GMW isn't
- running, and go to the directory that GMW was installed in and delete
- all the data files by typing the following command at a DOS prompt: "Del
- *.IS?".
