-
- WEDDING helps you plan your nuptials by managing the more
- intricate and time-consuming details of the ceremony and reception.
- Wedding is configurated to handle your engagement, personal
- history, bridal shower, invitations, gifts, and honeymoon
- information. WEDDING includes programs to help you regulate your
- expenses, remember important dates and anniversaries, and print
- thank-you notes, and mailing labels, etc.
-
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENT AND PREPARATION
-
-
- An IBM PC-AT or compatible personal computer is required for
- WEDDING system. The computer requires a 640 KB DRAM for the MS-DOS
- operating system, a hard disk and a high density floppy diskette
- drive. The hard disk is designated as Drive C. Its free memory
- space should be at least 10 MB for normal operations. The hard
- disk should be formatted using DOS 3.0 or later versions and its
- utility programs should reside on the hard disk. When loading the
- program onto the hard disk of your computer, a new subdirectory
- called WEDDING will be created by WEDDING. This subdirectory will
- hold all of the programs and database files. All indexed files
- which are needed for operations will also be in this subdirectory.
-
- Execute the following steps to load DOS and WEDDING into your
- computer. If you already have DOS on your computer go directly to
- step [6], otherwise the DOS subdirectory required for the DOS
- utility programs can be created as follows:
-
- [1] Switch on the computer.
-
- [2] At the C:> prompt enter the command MD DOS.
-
- [3] Now go to the newly created DOS subdirectory by typing the
- command: CD DOS. The C:> will change to C:\DOS>.
-
- [4] Insert the DOS diskette into Drive A
-
- [5] Now enter the command COPY A:*.*.
-
- All of the DOS utility programs will be copied into the DOS
- subdirectory onto the hard disk. Please note that the program to
- park the head of the hard disk (PARK.COM) should also reside in the
- DOS subdirectory. Consult your computer dealer to obtain such a
- program.
-
- After the DOS subdirectory has been created and the files
- copied into it, follow these steps to load the WEDDING system onto
- your hard disk:
-
- [6] At the C:\> prompt type CD\. C:\DOS> will change back to C:>.
-
- [7] If WEDDING programs and files on diskette: 1.44M(3.5").
- Insert diskette into Drive B and at the C:> prompt type
- B:INSTALL.
-
- If WEDDING programs and files on diskette: 1.2M(5.25").
- Insert diskette into Drive A and at the C:> prompt type
- A:INSTALL.
-
- The program 'INSTALL' on diskette will create a new
- subdirectory WEDDING and copy into it all the WEDDING programs and
- the required database files.
-
- After all the files have been copied into the WEDDING
- subdirectory, the program will indexing the files. This indexing
- operation takes about one minute.
-
- After the copying and indexing operation, you should remove
- diskette from Drive B or Drive A and store it in a safe place.
-
- [8] At the C:\>prompt type CD\WEDDING and C:\> will change to
- C:\WEDDING>
-
- [9] At C:\WEDDING> type WEDDING
-
- The WEDDING system is now ready for operation. Normally, you do
- not have to repeat this indexing operation. It is repeated only
- when the index files in your computer are damaged.
-
- Warning: If you run the INSTALL program again after you have
- loaded the WEDDING programs and have entered data, the
- existing database files will be erased from the hard
- disk.
-
- To ensure normal operation of the WEDDING programs, the free space
- available on the hard disk will be checked every time you turn on
- the computer. A warning message will be displayed when the total
- free space of the hard disk is less than 6 MB (megabytes). When
- this happens we suggest that unnecessary files outside the WEDDING
- subdirectory be deleted.
