Installing this demo version of CaLANdar:

1) Run A:CALINST or B:CALINST (depending on the floppy drive) and follow the
   instructions on the screen.  You will not be able to register the software,
   unless this is an Upgrade to an existing installation.


Notes Concerning installation.

 -     You MUST use the CALINST program to install CaLANdar as it will create
       the proper directory structure. You MUST have Supervisor R/W/Create
       authority to run this program.

 -     If running the CALTSR or CAL programs from a Network login script you
       may need to specify the entire drive and path of the directory in
       which caLANdar is installed. Novell login scripts must be set up this
       way.

 -     If installing on a network, you must have FULL access to the root
       directory of the drive you are installing it to, as the installation
       program writes temporary files into the root, and creates subdirectories
       off of the CaLANdar directory.

 -     The memory requirements for CALTSR are as follows:

         With    LIM EMS Approximately  < 1.1 K
         Without LIM EMS Approximately  < 7.0 K
         With HILOAD, MAXHI, LOADHI etc.  0.0 K !!!!

 -     Note:  If CALTSR "Hangs" when loaded, It is probabably because it is
              attempting to find out if it is already loaded in HI-Memory. If
              this happens, Invoke CALTSR with /H   The /H Switch disables
              Hi-MEM checking.  Alloy MultiWARE 1.1 exhibits this condition.
              If your bottom line BLINKS, you should also use this /h switch.
              You might also try /E- for No EMS Use.  There is a /c1 option
              for CAL & CALTSR setting an alternate Color-Set as well.  The
              /b+ option forces B & W mode and is best for Lap-tops.

 -     If you have version 1.0x or 1.1x of CaLANdar installed, You must run
       CALUINST prior to installing this revision as the data structures are
       no compatible.

 -     If you have 1.2x of CaLANdar installed, simply run CALINST again and it
       will Update the files and preserve your DATA & Appointments.

 -     Make sure that the Sysmanager has Read/Write/Create/Delete Privledges
       and ALL users should have Read/Write/Create/Delete in x:\CAL\T sub-dir.

 -     If you have a local Hard drive on your workstation,  we suggest the
       following .BAT file for best performance.

       x:\CAL\CALTSR /U%username% /DE C:\ /P-

       where x = Netdrive,  %username% is environment variable with Username
       and   C:= Local Hard Drive, and P- will only ask for Password once.

   For info on using CALTSR with Windows 3.0, refer to the CALxxx.VER file.

   Mouse Control was added in Release 1.23C  In general, the Motion simulates
   the <Arrow Keys>.  The Left Button is Generally <Enter>, The Right Button
   <F-10> (Save and Back a Level) & Both Buttons are <F-3> (Goto View). If you
   are prompted for Yes / No by CaLANdar, the Left Button is YES and the right
   button is NO.  Please give us your feedback on this new feature.

   NetWARE Bindery Import Pre-release.  Create a group under NetWARE called
   CALANDAR_USERS.  Select any users on the system that you wish to be part of
   that elite group.  Under Sysmanager in CaLANdar, go to the Add User and
   the Extract NetWARE Group which will get this group from NetWARE and put
   it into a local file called NETNAMES.DAT Then, Import NetWARE Group and
   follow the instructions to add them into the CaLANdar System.  You will
   have the option to confirm the addition / deletion of users.  Please let
   us know what you think of the facility and any additional "bells & whistles"
   it should have.  Note: You can NOT run this option from the TSR.  You must
   log into the Network CaLANdar Directory and run CAL to use this option.

   The "TOPVIEW" Facility that was added in 1.24B allows each user to create
   a LOCAL Group called TOPVIEW which designates anyone whom THEY choose to
   allow viewing of THEIR Top Level (1st 38 characters) Appointments.  When
   you go to the Graph Appointments, Go to a time & date, and hit <F3>, you
   will see all conflicting appointments.  In addition, you will see the Top
   Level Descriptions of their conflicts if YOUR name was included in THEIR
   TOPVIEW Group.  TOPVIEW also shows the OWNERS of Busy Resources if the
   resource is selected prior to <F3>.

   1.24F adds FYI (For Your Information) to Tasks and Appointments.  When
   selecting a user (invite), simply press the <Alt-Space> and an (I) appears.
   A copy of the appt/task will be sent to the USER but not figure into the
   person's schedule or the Global RSVP status of the meeting.  Both N and I
   RSVP Status will display with a (.) on ANY reports indicating that you are
   not expected to attend the function either thru "Information" or "declining"
   the invitation.  The <Shift-Space> also works for systems with older Kbds.

   TRICK #1- Some people may find the following useful to get a report for
             a Group of people.      ...Create a user on the system called
             GROUP-VIEW or such and have all interested members send an FYI
             of each of their Appointments and/or Tasks to GROUP-VIEW.  If
             you print any report of GROUP-VIEW (change-user or Hotkey) then
             you will have all the members Calendars/Tasks rolled into one.
