- Welcome to Code-A-Line!
-
- This is a shareware program which you are free to evaluate before you buy.
- Plese refer to the online documentation for the software license and
- registration information.
-
- This file explains the steps that you should follow to install Code-A-Line.
- It also explains the changes that Code-A-Line makes on your disk upon
- installation so that you can easily uninstall it, if needed.
-
-
-
- HOW TO INSTALL CODE-A-LINE?
-
- You should have received Code-A-Line as a compressed archive file CODE.ZIP.
- You need PKUNZIP.EXE version 2.04g or newer to decompress and un-archive it.
- PKUNZIP can be downloaded from most public bulletin board systems.
-
- Create a temporary directory on your hard drive, or prepare a blank formatted
- diskette (at least 720K), where you would like to store the pre-installation
- (master) copy of Code-A-Line. Make this directory your default.
-
- Un-archive CODE.ZIP by issuing the following command at the DOS prompt:
-
- pkunzip code
-
- The files in CODE.ZIP will be unpacked and placed in the current directory.
- The program is NOT ready to run at this point. You have merely unpacked
- the archive used to distribute the master copy of the software.
-
- The next step is to install Code-A-Line from the master files. In the
- Program Manager, select Run from the File menu, then enter the full path
- to the Code-A-Line installation program SETUP.EXE in the Command Line box.
- Press OK to run the SETUP.EXE utility.
-
- Once Code-A-Line Setup is started you should select "First Time
- Installation" from its main menu, and the program will then lead you
- through the process.
-
-
-
- WHAT SETUP DOES?
-
- Setup copies and prepares the master files to be used by Code-A-Line.
- It will copy these files from the master directory and/or drive described
- in the previous section into the installation directory which you specify
- during the installation process. It is strongly recommended that the two
- are NOT the same directory, i.e. that you install Code-A-Line to a
- different directory from the one where the master files are stored (you
- may choose to store the master files in a separate diskette - this would
- then became your master installaion diskette).
-
- Code-A-Line Setup does not make any changes to WIN.INI or SYSTEM.INI.
- Code-A-Line will only place the initialization file CODE.INI in your
- Windows directory when it is first run.
-
-
- Optionally, Setup creates a Program Manager group and installs Code-A-Line
- icons in it. You are prompted before this action takes place for a
- permission.
-
-
-
- HOW TO UNINSTALL CODE-A-LINE
-
-
- To remove the installed program and its support files:
-
- - Delete all files from the Code-A-Line installation directory that you
- specified when running Setup (be careful to backup any data files that
- you may have created there and want to preserve prior to issuing del *.*).
-
- - Delete CODE.INI from your Windows directory.
-
- - If you have asked SETUP to create a Program Manager group for Code-A-Line,
- delete this group inside the Program Manager (select Delete from the File
- menu while the group is minimized and selected).
-
-
- To further remove the master files:
-
- - If you have placed the master Code-A-Line files on your hard disk, remove
- these files, and the directory they are in.
-
- If you used a diskette to store the master files, discard the diskette.
-
- - These are all the steps that you need to undertake to completely remove
- Code-A-Line from your system.
