- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- TCN PROGRAM INSTALLATION AND STARTUP
-
- Installation and startup of The CONSTITUTION Notebook Program can be
- slightly different depending on whether your copy came from a CD-ROM, a
- disk vendor, or a BBS.
-
-
-
- TCN PROGRAM STARTUP
-
- The first time the TCN program is run following installation, up to 5
- screens are automatically displayed to help you get started. Spend as
- much time as you like on each screen. (You CAN manually access them
- later.)
-
- The last of these screens offers to automatically start EASY QT, an
- automatict quick tutorial. TCNbP Company urges you to click Yes.
-
- Some CD-ROM install programs will automatically launch the TCN program
- after installing it. This is ok.
-
- Otherwise, the TCN program is generally started using the Program Manager
- icon. You can also start it from the file manager TCN.EXE icon or by
- using the Run option of the Windows Program Manager File menu.
-
- NOTE: Do not attempt to run TCN.EXE directly from the CD-ROM (by
- clicking on the TCN.EXE icon or by using the Run option of the Windows
- Program Manager File menu). It will not work.
-
-
-
- INSTALLATION FROM CD-ROM
-
- Some CD-ROMs include a "canned" install program which can be used to
- install many or all of the programs contained on the CD-ROM. TCNbP
- Company allows the TCN program to be installed by such programs. Consult
- your CD-ROM documentation. If its canned install program will install
- the TCN program, you can use it.
-
- NOTE: If your CD-ROM does not include such an install program, you can
- install the TCN program using TCNSTALL.BAT.
-
-
-
- INSTALLATION FROM DISKETTES
-
- Use TCNSTALL.BAT. It is self documenting. Type TCNSTALL or TCNSTALL ?
- and press ENTER.
-
-
- INSTALLATION FROM BBS DOWNLOADS
-
- To install the TCN program using files downloaded from a BBS:
-
- 1. Unzip the compressed file in a scratch directory.
-
- 2. Use TCNSTALL.BAT to install the TCN program files in the directory
- where you will operate it.
-
-
- VERSION 3.3
-
- Version 3.3 of the TCN program focussed on the user documentation.
-
- The new documentation is available under a new menu called Evaluation.
-
- The default tutorial offered when the TCN program is started after
- installation is called Easy QT. The flow of information in Easy QT is
- logical beginning with a few pages that tell you how to use Easy QT
- itself. This is followed by a few more pages that introduce the TCN
- program and study of the Constitution in a non-technical manner. Then
- follows the technical information and exercises that let you know how to
- actually operate the features of the TCN program. Easy QT automatically
- saves your place.
-
- Topic review (previously part of Tutorial I) is now a separate menu item
- under the Evaluation menu. Access is easier - status information is
- clearly presented after you have reviewed some topics - and you have a
- better way of knowing what will be saved as your resume topic.
-
- Quick Tutor lets you jump around in Easy QT materials. A two-page
- outline of available materials can be printed out on paper to guide you.
- Also, QT lets you access some information not covered in Easy QT.
-
- In addition to the documentation changes described above, the interactive
- registration screen was greatly simplified.
-
