To Install Project Manager V3, create a new directory on your hard drive, the name is unimportant, but don't put anything but the included files in it. Unzip all included files into it.
Move the following files to this directory:
1./Pmgr3x.exe - the executable where x is either 2 or 1 depending on version
2./System.MDA - the SystemDB file
3./Vbprojx.MDB - the database where x is either 2 or 1 depending on version
4./Pmgr3.hlp - the helpfile
These files must all be in the same directory for the program to work. The System.MDA file supplied must be used as it contains the information on security required to access the database file.
We recommend you put the following files in the program directory as well:
5./*.VBX - program VBX's
6./*.LIC - licence files for VBX's
7./DISKINF.DLL - .dll used to return disk size and free space on a disk.
It is suggested you install all the VBX's in the same directory as the program, that way it will not overwrite your systems' VBX's, which are likely different versions and probably incompatible with these. Read the Helpfile "Install" topic for more details.
Read the Helpfile topic "Project Manager Overview" before using the program.
Correction to Helpfile:
The Error Logging procedure now uses a locally declared constant in each
procedure to hold the procedure name. Previously, it used a global variable which was declared in the error.bas module. This global variable is no longer used. This improves accuracy in reporting which procedure generated the error.
Additions to Program
Version PMGR32.exe
Backup:
Now checks file sizes and free space on backup drive. Files too big for diskettes are flagged, and while copying, checks file sizes and packs as many as it can get on a diskette, then prompts for another diskette if necessary.
Zip:
Set the path to your copy of PKZIP.EXE, version 2.04G and use menu item "File|Zip up Project Directory" to zip all files in the project directory. This option will do a quick format on your diskette, and uses the span multiple disks option if the zip file won't fit on one diskette.
