- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- This package contains the MicroFox Utilities (TM) by MicroFox Company.
- 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.
-
- If you've ever wished you could control your printers, delay activity,
- and use customized commands in your batch files, then the MicroFox
- Utilities are for you...
-
- The MicroFox Utilities are 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 SEE.DOC for more
- details). If you like the 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 distribution services, rather than a payment
- for continued use of the program.

- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- The installation procedure for the MicroFox Utilities is quite simple.
- The package includes a program, "INSTALL.EXE", which automates the
- entire process. You will need about 128K of available disk space on the
- hard drive on which you plan to install the MicroFox Utilities.
-
- The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received the
- MicroFox Utilties.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
-
- To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
-
- o Place the MicroFox Utilites 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 MicroFox Utility files to that directory. If you so direct it,
- the installation program will install executable programs and
- documentation in other directories of your choice. It will make
- no other changes; specifically, it will not modify your
- autoexec.bat or config.sys files.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
-
- If you downloaded the MicroFox Utilties 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 SEE 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 MicroFox Utility files to that directory. If you so direct
- it, the installation program will install executable programs and
- documentation in other directories of your choice. It will make
- no other changes; specifically, it will not modify your
- autoexec.bat or config.sys files.
-
- When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
- delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed the MicroFox
- Utility files (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 the file "*.DOC" files. Those document will tell you how to invoke
- the programs, and will give you other information you need to properly
- evaluate the utilities. We hope you enjoy the programs.
