- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- README file for Shareware and Graphics Tracker for Windows 95 v2.10
-
- The following has been condensed from the on-line help and is intended
- for experienced computer users. The on-line help gives a more in depth
- description so if you are not sure and require more information then
- refer to the on-line help.
-
- 1. INSTALLATION
-
- Hardware requirements
- Minimum requirements is a 486 computer, VGA monitor, 16 megs of extended
- memory. Recommended requirements: 486+ computer, VGA monitor, 16 megs
- extended memory.
-
- Installing shareware version.
- It is assumed that you have unpacked the file SAGT210.ZIP to the C:\TEMP
- directory and that you have unzipped the SAGT210.ZIP file and you have
- this README.1ST file. Now do the following instructions.
-
- 1. Click on Setup.exe to install the program. Follow the prompts on
- the screen.
-
- 2. You will need to set up Shareware and Graphics Tracker before you can
- use it. There is a number of things you need to do before running
- Shareware and Graphics Tracker. Just follow the instructions listed
- below.
-
- SETTING UP Shareware and Graphics Tracker
- The following should be done BEFORE you start Shareware and Graphics
- Tracker. If you start Shareware Tracker before you do all of the
- following steps, you will have to back out again to complete these steps.
-
- 1. You will need to get a list of your Internet sites. The easiest way is
- first grab a piece of paper and divide it into two columns. Now start up
- your favourite browser off-line. If you are Netscape then click on
- Bookmarks, else if you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer then click
- on Favourites. You will probably have a number of sites listed where you
- from which you download shareware from. Go to the first one. Write down
- the title in the first column of the pad, now click on that choice. You
- will receive a notice saying that the program was unable to access that
- site. Write down the WWW address given in the notice. Repeat these steps
- for all the shareware sites listed. If you are still using any BBS's then
- list these also.
-
- 2. When you have all your Internet listings then have a look at
- them and decide what categories these sources should be under. You can
- always change or add to the categories later but at least you should have
- a basic list. As most shareware downloads cover a wide range of topics,
- you should include the category UNKNOWN in the source category list.
- Also include "Unknown Source" in the source list. This will be handy when
- you enter previous downloads and you don't know where the download came
- from.
-
- 3. If your shareware is stored on a hard drive then go to section 4. If
- your shareware is stored on removable disks then you will need to number
- each removable disk.
-
- This is important because if you don't number the disks now then you will
- not know which disk to place in the drive when Shareware and Graphics
- Tracker asks for a particular disk. When you have labelled all the disks
- make sure that they in correct order with number one disk on the top.
-
- 4.The first time you run Shareware and Graphics Tracker, you will be
- asked to set the drive the removable disk will use, the drive/directory
- where the large files are stored on the hard drive and if you have a
- CD-Rom then enter the CD-Rom drive. If you are using the shareware
- version then the shareware message will appear. After reading itclick the
- Continue button to remove it. The main database screen will appear. See
- THE MAIN DATA SCREEN for a full description of this screen (including
- hidden fields).
-
- 5. Now click the mouse on Category | Shareware . A list of default
- categories will appear. You can change these categories to suit your own
- needs. To add a category, enter the new category in the top box and then
- click on Add Category to add your first shareware category. Repeat this
- step until all the shareware categories have been entered.Click on the
- Close button. You must have at least one shareware category before you
- can enter any shareware details. You can add extra categories during
- Auto Entry. If you have previous shareware titles to enter then you
- should have the category "UNKNOWN". This is necessary because you will
- possibly come across a number of previous shareware titles for which you
- may not be able to immediately identify so you can use this category as a
- temporary measure until you get some time in the future to investigate
- these shareware titles in more detail (See also FIRST TIME DATA ENTRY).
-
- 6. Now at the main screen click on Category | Source . A list of
- default categories will appear. You can change these categories to suit
- your own needs To add a source category, enter the new category in the
- top box and click on Add Category to add your first (BBS/Internet)
- category. Repeat this step until all the source categories have been
- entered. Now click on the Close button to back out.
-
- 7. You are now ready to enter your download details. See On-Line Help
- topic SETTING UP THE DOWNLOADS FOR AUTO ENTRY for full information on how
- to do this.
-
- NOTE: If you try and skip any of the above steps, then when you try to
- enter data, you will receive a error message like "No categories
- available, Enter at least one category".
-
- 8. You are now ready to enter your download details. See Chapter 5.
- SETTING UP THE DOWNLOADS FOR AUTO ENTRY for full information on how to do
- this.
-
- NOTE: If you try and skip any of the above steps, then when you try to
- enter data, you will receive a error message like "No categories
- available, Enter at least one category".
