- A Project/Event Planner (INSTALL.TXT - December 12, 1994)
- =======================================================================
- As a precautionary measure, make a backup of any previously installed
- versions and associated files before proceeding with this installation.
- Also, review the RELEASE.TXT file for any last minute notes that may
- affect the installation procedure.
-
- The directions included in this document are for Windows 3.1 and
- are categorized into the following sections:
-
- Section 1. Standard Installation with INSTALL Utility
- Section 2. Manual Installation - Full Install
- Section 3. Manual Installation - Program Only
- Section 4. Manual Installation - Samples Only
-
- =======================================================================
- Section 1. Standard Installation with INSTALL Utility
- =======================================================================
- 1. Place the distribution diskette into the appropriate drive. If you
- do not have a distribution diskette and have down-loaded a
- compressed file, uncompress the file and place all of the
- distributed files into one disk directory.
-
- 2. From the Windows Program Manager or File Manager, select the Run
- option in the File menu. In response to the "Command Line:"
- prompt, enter the location of the INSTALL utility. For
- example if the distribution is located in drive A:, enter the
- following:
- A:\APLANR\INSTALL
-
- 3. Follow the directions given by the INSTALL utility. Once the
- installation starts, it should complete in less than a minute.
-
- =======================================================================
- Section 2. Manual Installation - Full Install
- =======================================================================
- 1. Create a directory where you want APLANR to reside in. You may use
- the Windows File Manager or DOS.
-
- 2. Copy all the program files from the diskette to the new directory.
- You may use the Windows File Manager or DOS.
-
- For example if your files reside in A: and you want to install
- them into C:\APLANR. In DOS type:
-
- MD C:\APLANR
- COPY A:\APLANR\*.* C:\APLANR
-
- 3. You may now execute the program named "APLANR.EXE" directly with
- the Windows File Manager.
-
- If you want to set up an icon in a program group to execute
- APLANR.EXE, refer to the "Working with Program Items" section
- in the Program Manager chapter of the Windows User's Guide.
-
- Using the same example as above, you enter the following in the
- "Program Item Properties" dialog box:
- Description: APLANR
- Command Line: C:\APLANR\APLANR.EXE
- Working Directory: C:\APLANR
-
- =======================================================================
- Section 3. Manual Installation - Program Only
- =======================================================================
- You do not have to copy all of the files to your disk, but the required
- files are "APLANR.EXE" and "APLANR.HLP". These are the program
- executable and help files respectively.
-
- Use the DOS copy command or the Windows File Manager to replace the old
- APLANR.EXE (program executable) and APLANR.HLP (program help file) with
- the new versions from the distribution diskette. The new versions use
- the same filenames. For example if your old files reside in
- "c:\aplanr", sample commands to copy the files are:
-
- COPY A:\APLANR\APLANR.EXE C:\APLANR
- COPY A:\APLANR\APLANR.HLP C:\APLANR
-
- =======================================================================
- Section 4. Manual Installation - Samples Only
- =======================================================================
- To install the sample data, you just need to copy the sample files.
- The sample files all start with the letters "PV".
-
- For example if "C:\APLANR" holds the executable programs, you could
- create a directory "C:\APLANR\SAMPLES". A sample command to copy all
- the sample data from a diskette in drive A is given below:
-
- COPY A:\APLANR\PV*.* C:\APLANR\SAMPLES
-
- When you run the program, use the "Directories" option of the "Options"
- menu to tell the program to use this directory to access the sample
- data.
-
- ***DO NOT*** copy the sample plans of the new version into the
- same directory as your current plan files, because the sample
- plan files will over-write yours.
