- Installing GoCIS
-
- What you Should Know to Use GoCIS
-
- Before installing and using GoCIS, you should have a basic
- knowledge of your computer and the Windows environment. In
- particular, you should be familiar with the use of menus,
- windows, and dialogue boxes and other controls typically used
- in the Windows environment.
-
- You should be able to select items by highlighting them with
- the arrow keys, or clicking on them with the mouse. You must
- also have an understanding of the operation of your modem.
-
- For more information about the Windows operating system, refer
- to your Microsoft Windows User Guide. For more information about
- your modem, refer to the manual that came with your modem.
-
-
- System Requirements
-
- GoCIS requires the following minimum hardware and software
- environment to run acceptably:
-
- An IBM PC, PS/2 or 100% compatible computer.
-
- A 386/20 CPU chip, (386-33 recommended).
-
- At least one floppy disk drive of 1.2MB 5.25" or a 720K 3.5"
- floppy and a hard disk.
-
- At least 4 megabytes or more of RAM. The more RAM you have the
- better GoCIS will run.
-
- Approximately 2 megabytes of free space on your hard disk
- drive in order to install the complete GoCIS product. If you
- already have some of the required DLL's the space will be
- correspondingly less.
-
- Microsoft Windows 3.0 or 3.1 running enhanced mode installed on
- your system.
-
- An Asynchronous modem from 1200 - 14400 Baud.
-
- GoCIS may run on configurations that do not meet these minimum
- requirements; however, the performance may not be acceptable.

-
- For example:
-
- C:>MD \GoCIS
- C:>CD \GoCIS
-
- + + + + IMPORTANT + + + +
-
- IT IS VERY IMPORTANT that you use the -d switch in order
- for PKUNZIP to create and unpack the files into the
- appropriate subdirectories...
-
- C:\GoCIS>PKUNZIP -d A:GCnnn*.ZIP
-
-
- After you have installed the files you will find a Windows
- GoCIS.GRP file that you can add to PROGMAN in the \GoCIS
- directory. To do so go to Windows progman and select
- FILE/NEW..
-
- For the description enter... GoCIS
- For the group file enter.... C:\GoCIS\GoCIS.GRP
-
- If you have placed GoCIS on a differnt drive or directory
- than C:\GoCIS you will have to modify the GoCIS program
- group items by holding down the alt-key and double-clicking
- on the program items. Then correct the command line and or
- working directory as appropriate.
