- Greetings!
-
- This file serves as an Installation Guide.
-
-
- Packaging
- ~~~~~~~~~
- Power is packaged either on a diskette or a Bulletin Board System
- (BBS) download, and is contained in a PKZIP authenticated com-
- pressed archive file with an extension of ZIP. The filename con-
- vention is as follows --
-
- PWRnnn.ZIP
-
- The "nnn" is the version number (i.e. PWR100.ZIP is the name of
- the archive file for Power version 1.00).
-
- NOTE: You need the program PKUNZIP.EXE (version 1.0 or later) in
- order to extract files from PWRnnn.ZIP, or any file with
- the .ZIP extension, for that matter.

- Install Program Files
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- After unpacking the PWRnnn.ZIP, you should have two of these
- files in the package:
-
- INSTALL DOC This Installation Guide
- INSTALL EXE Install program
-
- There is no configuration file for the Install program. The In-
- stall program is self-contained.
-
- For an exact listing of all files in the package with their
- respective CRC values as returned by viewing the ZIPed archives,
- see the file PACKING.LST.

-
- How to install your POWER package
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The Install program WILL NOT TOUCH your AUTOEXEC.BAT or
- CONFIG.SYS files. I know how you feel about changing them
- without your notice.
-
- You may want to first print this file out, and then follow these
- instructions. Or, if you don't mind being adventurous, just go
- ahead and run Install without reading this document. It's quite
- straight-forward.
-
- The included install program, INSTALL.EXE, will install the un-
- packed files into the drive and directory of your choice. The
- new directory will be created for you, if it doesn't exist. If
- it does exist, a prompt is given to confirm whether you want to
- install the files to this directory. Before installing, it will
- check the selected drive for the amount of required free disk
- space for installing the files.
-
- There are two possible ways you could have received the software:
- via diskette or by download from a BBS. The following instruc-
- tions below are the same regardless of your acquisition method:
-
-

- │ INSTALL PROGRAM GUIDE │
- └───────────────────────┘
-
- The Install program WILL NOT TOUCH your AUTOEXEC.BAT or
- CONFIG.SYS files. I know how you feel about changing them
- without your notice.
-
- When the Install program kicks up, you will see a pause box with
- the string "Press any key to start" in it. At any time user in-
- put is required via the keyboard, the function keys F1 and F2 are
- active. F1 calls up context-sensitive help, F2 calls up the
- About information concerning the Install program.
-
-

-
-
-
- To abort the installation process at any time when a prompt is
- given (including the pause box), press the <ESC> key.
-
- Press any key besides F1, F2, and <ESC> to start the installation
- process.
-
- The Install program responds by first checking each file in the
- current directory to make sure that all files in the entire
- package exist. If any files are missing, an error message is
- displayed to that effect and a prompt is given on whether to con-
- tinue or abort the installation process. If you choose to con-
- tinue, all remaining files will be processed and the missing
- files will be reported in the file MISSINGF.TXT, which is created
- when one or more files is missing. This file will be written to
- the drive/directory you specify for the software package instal-
- lation. This security feature, in addition to PKZIP's Authoriza-
- tion Verification you saw when unpacking the archive file, offers
- a bit of file security and assurance to the user that he/she has
- all the files that I, the author, intend to distribute. Install
- "knows" the names of all the files in the package.
-
- If such a missing-file error occurs, please contact the author
- for a valid software package.
-
- Next, after the file-checking process, Install displays a list of
- available drive letters to install the POWER package to. Press
- the drive letter key, then press the <Enter> key. Entering the
- colon (:) after the letter is an option, but is not necessary.
- Only the first digit (first letter) entered is significant.
-
- Next, the Install program responds by displaying the default
- directory name in the drive you selected. The default directory
- is \POWER. To change it, make the desired changes using the cur-
- sor keys and the backspace and/or delete keys. The chosen direc-
- tory can be either new or existing. If new, it will be created
- for you. You can create a new subdirectory within a new sub-
- directory.
-
- When you have made your directory selection, press the <Enter>
- key.
-
- If you have enough disk space, the installation process will
- begin.
-
- If you don't have enough disk space, the Install program will
- issue an error message to that effect. In this case, you must
- either:
-
- 1) Delete some unnecessary files in your drive, or
- 2) Select another drive.
-
- The entire package requires approximately 800K of free disk
- space.
-
- After the installation process is completed, Install will change
- the default directory to the drive and directory where the POWER
- package files were installed to, and then exit to the DOS command
-
-
- 3
-
-
-
- prompt, where the included LIST program will execute immediately
- to display the file GREET.DOC. To exit from the LIST program,
- press either <ESC>, F10, or ALT-X.

- Please read the next file, README.1ST, a file containing intro-
- ductionary information about POWER.
