- HOW TO INSTALL THE UPDATED FILTERS
-
- 1. From the Windows Program Manager, load File Manager.
- 2. Copy FILT20.EXE to the Ami Pro program directory (this is usually
- C:\AMIPRO) on your hard drive. You will need approximately 1,439,106
- bytes of available disk space (size of the FILT20.EXE file plus the sizes
- of the files that will be extracted from the FILT20.EXE) on the hard
- drive where the Ami Pro program is located.
- 3. In File Manager, run the file FILT20.EXE from the Ami Pro program
- directory on the hard drive. This is a self-extracting file which will
- place the individual filter files on your hard drive. Note: There will
- be several warning messages during the extracting process asking if
- certain files should be overwritten. Specify Y for Yes to each of those
- messages. There will also be several messages indicating that files are
- being exploded. These are normal messages displayed by the extraction
- program as files are being extracted from the EXE file to the target
- location (your hard drive).
- 4. Select the file names AMIDW.INI, AMIFONT.INI and AMIWP.INI.
- 5. Move these files (do not copy) from the Ami Pro program directory to your
- Windows program directory.
- 6. Delete the file FILT20.EXE from the Ami Pro program directory.
- 7. Close the File Manager.
-
- HOW TO MODIFY THE AMIPRO.INI FILE
