- INSTALLATION
- ------------
-
- ** IMPORTANT ** -- if you have not unziped the zip file
- SURFR10.ZIP using the -d option, please delete the files that

- along with this file as well as a subdirectory named DISK1
- containing the Surfer Central program files.
-
- To install Surfer Central, run INSTALL.EXE from within Windows
- and follow the instructions. After installation you will be presented
- with a readme file (this one). Please EXIT NotePad when you have
- completed reading the file.

- NOTE: If you have not yet loaded Windows, you may type INSTALL from
- the DOS prompt (in the directory where INSTALL.EXE is located) and

- OTHER NOTES
- -----------
-
- - A handy uninstall utility has been included with Surfer Central.
- To remove the program from your system, find the Windows Program
- Manager group containing the Surfer Central icon. Also in this
- group will be an icon marked 'Uninstall Surfer Central'. Simply
- click here and the program will be completely removed
-
- IMPORTANT: Your data files will also be deleted if they
- are contained in a subdirectory beneath the Surfer Central
- directory (e.g. in \SURFRCEN\DATABASE).
-
- - A printed manual has not been included with this version of Surfer
- Central. However, FULL details about all program functions and
- procedures for registration are provided in the Help file. To view
- this information, run Surfer Central by double-clicking on the
- program icon and choose Contents from the Help menu.
-
- - Surfer Central has NOT been thoroughly tested using Windows 95.
- Preliminary tests suggest that the program is <nearly> fully
- compatible with Windows 95. The only known problem is with the
- HWA contents tree - clicking topics on the tree does not change
- to the corresponding topic in the help window. This problem is
- currently being investigated by Olson Software (makers of HWA).
-
- KNOWN PROBLEMS
- --------------
-
- As of version 1.00 of Surfer Central, there is only one known problem:
-
- - Making a change to the site entry area and clicking either on the
- sites listbox or category tabs without first updating or inserting
- the changes may cause minor problems. The mouse seems to enter a
- dragging state where the mouse cursor changes to a circle with a
- line through it. If this occurs, move the mouse around until it's
- in a position where it remains as the circle and click the primary
- mouse button (usually the left button). In the case of the sites
- listbox, click the button anywhere within the listbox, and for the
- category tabs, click the button on the currently selected (gray)
- tab. The program will then function normally.
