1. LICENSE AGREEMENT
Please read the terms and conditions of the license located in the
LICENSE.TXT file prior to your use of this software. This software
has been made available to you subject to your agreement to the
license. Use of this software constitutes acceptance of each of the
terms and conditions of such license.
2. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This complimentary copy of LT HelpDesk basically comes pre-installed.
Just a few simple commands will get you running quickly.
Install Blue Lance's LT HelpDesk (Complimentary Version only):
a. Place the LTH_COMP.EXE file into a new directory.
b. Run LTH_COMP to extract the program files. LTH_COMP.EXE is a self
extracting ZIP file.
c. Copy and UNZIP LTHFOX16.ZIP and LTHFOX32.ZIP into the same
directory as LTH_COMP.EXE or in the DOS search path.
d. Make a subdirectory under the LT HelpDesk directory called RPTS
for the program to store report forms.
3. SYSTEM ACCESS
LT HelpDesk has a built in security system that cannot be turned off.
Therefore, we have given the installed copy some generic user names
intended for initial entry only. Once access to the system is granted,
the user should setup his or her own access names.

4. FOXPRO VERSION TO RUN AND WHERE TO GET IT
LT HelpDesk Version 1.2 uses FoxPro Version 2.0 (Patch date: 06/09/92)
If you own a copy of the FoxPro distribution kit:
Put the following files in the search path or in the LT HelpDesk
directory: FoxPro.ESL, FoxPro.ESO, FoxProX.ESL
If you own a copy of the FoxPro development version:
From the Program menu execute the DO menu pad and select the LTH.EXE
file to run.
LTH.EXE will automatically determine which version of FoxPro to run.
If you elect to only install one version of FoxPro (16 vs. 32 bit
versions), LT HelpDesk will only execute that version. The 16 bit
version will run on all machines that have a minimum of 480K of
memory. The 32 bit version will only run on 386 or above machines that
have a least 2 Megs of free Expanded memory. The 32 bit version will not
run under Windows.
You can get a copy of the LT HelpDesk FoxPro runtime files off our
CompuServe user forum under Netwire (GO NVENA). The file names are
LTHFOX16.ZIP and LTHFOX32.ZIP. You may download one or both copies
for use with LT HelpDesk.
5. REPORTS DIRECTORY
All Ad Hoc reports are not stored in the main LT HelpDesk directory.
That is why you must create a subdirectory called RPTS. This
subdirectory should be located in the directory with the LTH.EXE
file. Without this directory, the system will function normally
until the user tries to enter the Ad Hoc Report generator.
6. WARRANTY REGISTRATION
By registering this copy of LT HelpDesk you will receive advance
upgrade information and the opportunity to participate in our Beta
programs.

7. HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
LT HelpDesk will run on any IBM compatible PC with a minimum of 480K
of free memory. The 32 bit (Extended Version) requires a minimum of
a 386SX computer with a minimum of 2MB free RAM. If running on an older
286 machine, be sure to allocate some Expanded memory for better
performance.
8. NETWORK ISSUES
LT HelpDesk is a fully multi-user database package. This package does
not contain operating system specific routines and thus should run
just fine on most networks. Novell Netware is the preferred network
operating system.
Some multi-user improvements have been noticed on some networks when
the following file attributes are changed. For the files LTH.EXE,
FoxProX.ESL, FoxPro.ESL and FoxPro.ESO, change the attributes to
Shareable and Read-Only when multi-user problems arise.
