INSTALLING / RUNNING THE PROGRAM
--------------------------------
APCAL 3.20
This file contains installation instructions and other important
information.
Shareware distributors who wish to distribute this program should
read the file VENDOR.DOC for information on our distribution
policy. This file also contains information that may help you in
evaluating and writing descriptions for this software in your
catalog, on your BBS or however you distribute shareware.
The file SHAREWAR.DOC describes what shareware is, for those who
may be new to shareware. It also describes our registration
policy, how to go about registering, what you get with registra-
tion and the ASP Ombudsman statement. The Association of Shareware
Professionals (ASP) sets standards for shareware authors (like
Gamma Software) to ensure that shareware works for you (the end
user).
INSTALLING / RUNNING THE PROGRAM
--------------------------------
Since this program is distributed through shareware we cannot
completely control the format in which you receive your copy. The
first step in installing this software is to get it into a
directory on your hard disk. All the files must be in the same
directory. The steps necessary to do this will vary depending on
the format in which you received your copy.
This may involve uncompressing the files if you received them
in a compressed format. For example, if there is a file with a
.ZIP, .ARC or .LZH extension (these are the most common, there are
others). The vendor should provide you with the necessary
instructions and tools to accomplish this.
If the files are not compressed then you can simply copy them to a
directory on your hard disk. See your DOS manual for information
on how to make a directory and copy the files.
Once the files are in a directory on your hard disk, go through
the "Installation" and "Getting Started" sections of the manual.
The "Installation" section also contains information on running the
program on a floppy disk only system.
PRINTING THE MANUAL
-------------------
To print the manual enter the following command.
C:\APCAL\APCAL
Replace the text "C:\APCAL" with the directory in which you loaded
APCAL. Press the Tab key until the "Print Manual" option is
highlighted. Make sure your printer is on and on-line. Then press
the Enter key. The program will display a menu telling you how many
pages the manual requires to print. Press the Y key and Enter to
print the manual.
THE SHAREWARE MESSAGE SCREEN
----------------------------
The first screen has a brief message describing shareware and has
options for registering, printing the manual and bringing up a list
of what you get with registration. You are initially placed in the
"Enter X to continue." field. To continue on to the rest of the
program simply type the letter that follows "Enter" (note - it must
be capital).
