-

- v1.00), by John A. Tulley. This document contains only a brief
- description of the package and its features, along with instructions for
- its installation. Quite detailed documentation is included in the
- package, but it is in archived form, and is more easily read after
- installation.
-
- TRACKEQUIP v1.0 <###> - Tracks the movement of Inspection, Measuring and

- ISO9000/BS5750 requirements. Maintains calibration and verification
- schedules, keeping full history records. Completely menu driven -

- TrackEquip is a shareware program. This evaluation version includes all
- features of the program, and is not crippled in any way. You may use it
- for up to 30 days, without charge (see MANUAL.DOC for more details). If

- period, you are required to pay for the program (see REGISTER.DOC for
- more details). Any fee you may have paid to others (disk vendors,
- dealers, etc.) to obtain this evaluation version was a fee for their
- copying and distribution services, rather than a payment for continued
- use of the program.

-
-
- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- The installation procedure for TrackEquip is quite simple. The package
- includes a program, "INSTALL.EXE", which automates the entire process.
- You will need about 1.5mb of available disk space on the hard drive on
- which you plan to install TrackEquip.
-
- The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
- TrackEquip.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
-
- To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
-
- o Place TrackEquip distribution diskette in the appropriate
- diskette drive.
-
- o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program on the distribution diskette.
- For example, if the distribution diskette is on drive A:, type
- the MS-DOS command, "a:install".
-
- o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program. You
- will have a chance to approve installation before any changes are
- actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The program will
- ask you for a destination directory, and will copy the TrackEquip
- files to that directory. It may need to make changes to your
- autoexec.bat and/or config.sys files, however no changes are made
- unless you specifically agree to this.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
-
- If you downloaded TrackEquip from a BBS (or received it in the form of
- archive files from some other source), you will need to perform the
- following steps.
-
- o Extract the contents of the archive file(s) in a temporary
- directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this
- varies, depending on the form in which you received the package.
- In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means
- that you already have the necessary tools and knowledge to
- perform this step. If not, you should be able to obtain
- directions for this from the same source from which you received
- the package.
-
- o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program which you have extracted. For
- example, if the temporary directory into which you have extracted
- the TrackEquip package is C:\TEMPDIR, you would execute the MS-DOS
- command, "c:\tempdir\install".
-
- o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
- You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
- are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
- program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
- the TrackEquip files to that directory. It may need to
- make changes to your autoexec.bat and/or config.sys files, however
- no changes are made unless you specifically agree to this.
-
- When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
- delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed TrackEquip
- (C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
-
-
- IMPORTANT
-
- You must set the following environmental variable in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
- file, or you must enter it from the command line prior to running the
- program:
-
- SET CLIPPER= //F:45
-
- This command MUST be set in order for TrackEquip to run. The installation
- utility will automatically add the line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file if you
- want it to, or you can answer NO at the install prompt and do it
- manually.
-
- You will also need to check the FILES and BUFFERS settings in your
- CONFIG.SYS file (the install program will check this also and give you
- the opportunity to modify it, if you want to). If you don't already have
- at least 49 FILES and 20 BUFFERS, please change these lines accordingly:
-
- FILES=49
- BUFFERS=20
-
- The installation program will make the necessary adjustments to your
- CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files if you want it to. If you don't then
- you will need to make the changes manually.
-
- You will need to reboot your system in order for these changes to take
- effect
-
-
- YOU'RE READY TO GO
-
- Once you've complete the installation, you should consult the document
- (MANUAL.DOC) which has been installed. In particular, read at least the
- 'Essential Information' chapter of the file "MANUAL.DOC". That document
- will tell you how to invoke the program, and will give you other
- information you need to properly evaluate TrackEquip. We hope you enjoy
- the program.
