PLEASE EXIT ALL PROGRAMS. EXIT WINDOWS. AND EXIT ANY DOS SHELLS. GO TO THE DRIVE THAT YOU WISH TO INSTALL TO, FOR EXAMPLE C:\>. (YOU CAN RUN SOLVEIT! UNDER WINDOWS, BUT IT IS EASIER TO INSTALL THE PROGRAM IF WINDOWS IS NOT RUNNING!) THE SHAREWARE RELEASE IS NO LONGER DISTRIBUTED WITH AN INSTALL PROGRAM. THERE ARE THREE REASONS FOR THIS. 1) THE INSTALL PROGRAM TAKES UP ABOUT 50K AND WE DON'T THINK THAT IT IS NECESSARY FOR PEOPLE WHO USE BBS's TO TAKE THE ADDITIONAL TIME TO DOWNLOAD IT. 2) DISK VENDORS LIKE TO PACKAGE SEVERAL PROGRAMS ON A DISK AND OTHER PROGRAMS COULD CONFLICT WITH OUR INSTALL PROGRAM. 3) FINALLY OUR PROGRAM IS SO SIMPLE TO INSTALL, YOU REALLY DON'T NEED AN INSTALL PROGRAM. Install Overview... Basically, just copy either SLVIT43.zip or SLVIT43.exe to your hard disk, use PKUNZIP to unzip if you have SLVIT43.zip or RUN SLVIT43 to decompress if you have SLVIT43.exe, and run 'SLVIT4' to start the program. Please see 'Manual Installation' below for details if you are not familiar with how to do the above steps. Neither your CONFIG.SYS nor your AUTOEXEC.BAT need to be modified in order to run SolveIT!. (You may put the \SLVIT4 directory in your PATH if you wish. See your DOS manual for details under PATH.) Microsoft Windows Users... AFTER SolveIT! is installed on your hard disk, see the instructions in the file WINDOWS.COM for details on how to run SolveIT! v4.3s under Windows. Hardware necessary to run... To Install SolveIT!, you must have an DOS (IBM compatible) computer with at least a 286 chip running DOS v2.1 or greater. You must have a hard drive with at least 1mb of FREE disk space. You may run the program on a 720K floppy, but you have to have a hard drive to install it first. You also need approx. 544k of free conventional RAM. Upgrading From Earlier Versions... If you are upgrading to this version of SolveIT! from an earlier version, make sure that you install to a NEW directory on your hard drive!! The data files that are created by this version of SolveIT! are NOT compatible with versions prior to v4.0 (sorry). Therefore, you may want to keep an earlier version of your program on the hard drive until you reenter any date that you might have been using. ***************************************** MANUAL INSTALLATION (method 1 of 2) (for SLVIT43.ZIP) If you don't have SLVIT43.ZIP but rather SLVIT43.EXE, see install method 2. This method assumes that you have a copy of PKUNZIP 2.04g installed and in your DOS PATH. To install SolveIT! using the manual method, we suggest that you do the following: Press Type This: This: Comments: ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── PROMPT $P$G <enter> Sets a useful DOS prompt C: <enter> Select a drive to install to... C:\>CD \ <enter> You may use any hard drive, not just C:\> C:\>MD SLVIT4 <enter> Makes a directory C:\>CD \SLVIT4 <enter> Changes to the new directory C:\SLVIT4>COPY A:*.* <enter> or substitute B: for A: if disk is in B: C:\SLVIT4>PKUNZIP SLVIT43 <enter> Decompresses the program files. ** C:\SLVIT4>Del SLVIT43.ZIP <enter> Gets rid of the unnecessary zip file. C:\SLVIT4>SLVIT4 <enter> Starts the program ** PKUNZIP.exe must be in your PATH. ***************************************** MANUAL INSTALLATION (method 2 of 2) (for SLVIT43.EXE) If you received your copy of SolveIT! from a disk vendor (and not downloaded from a BBS, then the program should come to you in a self extracting, archive file. That is, you'll have SLVIT43.EXE and NOT SLVIT43.ZIP.) To install the program: Press Type This: This: Comments: ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── PROMPT $P$G <enter> Sets a useful DOS prompt C: <enter> Select a drive to install to... C:\>CD \ <enter> You may use any hard drive, not just C:\> C:\>MD SLVIT4 <enter> Makes a directory C:\>CD \SLVIT4 <enter> Changes to the new directory C:\SLVIT4>SLVIT4 <enter> Decompress the program files. C:\SLVIT4>SLVIT4 <enter> Starts the program ************************** STARTING SolveIT! You need the following files to run SolveIT!: SLVIT4.exe main program file SLVIT4.hlp help screens SLVIT4.ovr overlay file to save memory To start the program enter: C: <enter> Change to drive where program was installed C:\>CD \SLVIT4 <enter> Change to the directory were the program was installed C:\SLVIT4>SLVIT4 <enter> Starts the program The above 3 SolveIT! files are the only files REQUIRED for SolveIT! to run.
