INSTALLING HI, FINANCE!
I. If you downloaded Hi, Finance! from Compuserve or a BBS in
compressed form:
1. Copy the file ("HIFIN110.EXE") or files ("HIFI1A.EXE",
"HIFI1B.EXE" and "HIFI1C.EXE") to a temporary directory.
2. BBS files supplied by Brightridge Solutions are self-
extracting; simply RUN them to decompress. "HIFI1A.EXE"
contains the setup and program files; "HIFI1B.EXE" has
the Realizer runtime files; "HIFI1C.EXE" provides the
user's guide, online help, and sample files.
3. From Windows' Program or File Manager, run "setup.exe".
4. The installation program will propose "C:\HIFINANC\" as
the default directory for the application. You may
change the drive or directory name or both. Install
will create a subdirectory of the main Windows
directory in which it will place runtime files. This
location should not be changed. Follow screen prompts.
5. The program will create a Program Manager group and place
an icon for Hi, Finance! in it. You can move this icon
to another group and destroy the "Hi Finance" group or
leave it as it is.
6. You may now start Hi, Finance! by double-clicking on its
icon or by selecting "HiFinanc.exe" in File Manager.
II. If you received Hi, Finance! from a disk vendor on 360K
diskettes (2) or 1.2MB or 720KB diskette:
1. Place Diskette 1 in the appropriate drive (probably A
or B).
2. Proceed with installation as outlined in steps 3-6 in
part I, changing diskettes if prompted.
