ARCHIVER for Windows
--------------------------
IMPORTANT ==> ARCHIVER for Windows must be installed prior to usage.
ALSO ==> The configuration file created for versions prior to version 1.10
are NOT compatible with this version. If you are replacing a
previous version of ARCHIVER for Windows, prior to version 1.10,
make sure the file CONFIG.DAT is deleted prior to running.
ARCHIVER for Windows contains the following files:
ARCHINST.EXE Self-Extracting Archive which contains:
ARCHIVER.EXE The MAIN Windows Executable Program.
ARCH.PIF Program Information File for Windows.
DETAIL.PIF Program Interface File for Windows.
VBRUN100.DLL The Data Link Library for ARCHIVER.
ARCHIVER.WRI The Documentation File (MS Write format).
CATALOG.WRI Catalog of other Miller-Ware Programs.
VERSIONS.WRI Version Information File.
ORDER.WRI Order Form for Miller-Ware products. REVIEW.EXE Miller-Ware Documentation File Viewer.
INSTALL.BAT Installation Batch file.
INSTALL.DOC Installation Documentation (this) File.
REVIEW.EXE Miller-Ware file viewer.
To install ARCHIVER for Windows, follow the simple steps shown below from
the DOS prompt:
STEP 1 - To unarchive the self-extracting archive ARCHINST.EXE, use the
following syntax:
[Source]ARCHINST [Destination]
[Source] - The location of the ARCHINST.EXE self-extracting archive.
[Destination] - Where to install ARCHIVER for Windows.
Both the source and destination should include the drive and path
name. If the destination path does not exist, it will be created.
An example follows:
ARCHINST is on drive A:\
You wish to install to C:\ARCHIVER which does not exist.
A:\ARCHINST C:\ARCHIVER
This will create the subdirectory C:\ARCHIVER and install the
program files in the new sub-directory.
STEP 2 - You may now copy the other files (REVIEW.EXE, INSTALL.BAT,
INSTALL.DOC) to the directory if you wish.
==> REMEMBER: The file CONFIG.DAT must be deleted if updating from a prior
version. When the program is run the first time, the file
CONFIG.DAT will be created.
When all the files are extracted, enter Windows and call up as any other
Windows program, by using the program manager to create a new Program Name.

EVERYONE READ THIS

Before you tear off and start archiving and unarchiving the daylights out

the documentation file ARCHIVER.WRI. Failure to do so could and most likely
WILL cause you to have a problems trying to run ARCHIVER for Windows.

The documentation file is titled ARCHIVER.WRI.
To view or print the documentation file, use MS Write which comes with
Windows. If your prefer to use the program before reading the documentation,
the world may never be safe again. Just remember, when all else fails, READ
