╚══════════════════════╝
TIME LORD can be installed from either drive A or B. For example if you are
using drive A type:
A:INSTALL <enter>
and then follow the on-screen prompts.
You will be asked which hard disk drive you want the program installed on
(usually C) and also which directory to use on that drive. If such a
directory already exists the installation program will go no further.
When installation has been completed you will be left in the directory you
have created. To run TIME LORD you MUST type TL.BAT or just TL at the
DOS prompt >
CONFIG.SYS
==========
Like most relational databases TIME LORD needs to have open a higher than
usual number of files. This upper limit should be at least 50 and the
program will ask you if you want it to insert the following lines in your
CONFIG.SYS file:
FILES=50
BUFFERS=20
If you answer NO you will need to make the changes yourself or you will get
an error message saying "Too many files open". Changes to CONFIG.SYS do not
come into effect until you reboot the computer.
DISK SPACE
==========
If you are VERY short of disk space (the installation process needs 1.5
megabytes) and you have some experience of MS-DOS you can install the program
without using the installation program. Create a directory and copy the two
files 1.EXE and 2.EXE over to them. Type 1.EXE and 2.EXE to uncompress them,
make the above change to CONFIG.SYS and create a batch file called TL.BAT
on your root (C:\) drive:
C:
CD\TIMELORD
TLORD.EXE %1
This assumes you have created a directory called TIMELORD on drive C:
MONO DISPLAYS
=============
If you have an LCD (Liquid Crystal) or Plasma type display you might find that
the colours in TIME LORD (and other programs) do not show up well. Try including
the following line in the start up batch file TL.BAT
MODE BW80
This will cause the operating system to treat your display as Black & White.
MANUAL
======
To print out the manual type:
COPY MANUAL.DOC PRN
Please Note: this version is single user and must not be run on more than
one machine at a time because the method of allocating unique record numbers
will not be able to keep track. For further information on site licences
and the network version please call the number shown below.
If you have any problems with installation or using the program please call
me on (0734) 427333. You can also register using ACCESS/VISA by calling
this number with your credit card details.
