-
- This package contains Infodex (TM) by Stevenson Technical Services, Inc.
- (STSI). 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.
-
- Infodex is a versatile database manager used to keep track of names and

- program, and wish to continue its use after this evaluation 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

- program.

-
- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- The installation procedure for Infodex is quite simple. The package
- includes a program, "INSTALL.EXE", which automates the entire process.
- You will need about 1 megabyte of available disk space on the hard drive
- on which you plan to install Infodex.
-
- The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
- Infodex.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
-
- To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
-
- 1. Place Infodex distribution diskette "Disk 1" in the appropriate
- diskette drive.
-
- 2. 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".
-
- 3. 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 Infodex files
- to that directory. If you received Infodex on two diskettes, you
- will need to insert Disk 2 in the diskette drive when asked to do so.
- If you so direct it, the installation program will install executable
- programs and documentation in other directories of your choice.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
-
- If you downloaded Infodex from a BBS (or received it in the form of
- archive files from some other source), you will need to perform the
- following steps.
-
- 1. 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.
-
-
- 2. Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program which you have extracted.
- For example, if the temporary directory into which you have
- extracted the files is C:\TEMPDIR, you would execute the MS-DOS
- command, "c:\tempdir\install".
-
- 3. 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
- installation program will ask you for a destination directory, and
- will copy the program files to that directory. If you so direct it,
- the installation program will install executable programs and
- documentation in other directories of your choice.
-
- When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
- delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed the program,
- (C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
-
-
- YOU'RE READY TO GO
-
- Once you've complete the installation, you should consult the documents
- (filename extension "doc") which have been installed. In particular,
- read at least the "Installation" section of the file INFODEX.DOC. That
- document will tell you how to invoke the program, and will give you
- other information you need to properly evaluate Infodex. We hope you
- enjoy the program.
-
