- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- This package contains Instant File Access(TM) (Version 3.01), by
- Alexoft. This document contains only a brief description of the package
- and its features, along with instructions for its installation. Quite
- detailed documentation is included in the package, but it is in archived
- form, and is more easily read after installation.
-
- If you've ever wished you could quickly recall previously opened files
- within your Windows applications, find files, perform file functions,
- and maintain lists of commonly access files all from within your Windows
- applications, then Instant File Access is the program for you...
-
- Instant File Access is a shareware program. This evaluation version
- includes all features of the program, and is not crippled in any way.
- You may use it for up to 30 days, without charge. If you like the
- program, and wish to continue its use after this evaluation period, you
- are required to pay for the program (see ORDER.WRI for more details).
- Any fee you may have paid to others (disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to
- obtain this evaluation version was a fee for their copying and
- distribution services, rather than a payment for continued use of the
- program.

- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- The installation procedure for Instant File Access is quite simple. The
- package includes a program, "SETUP.EXE", which automates the entire
- process. You will need about 300 kilo bytes of available disk space on
- the hard drive on which you plan to install Instant File Access.
-
- The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received Instant
- File Access.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
-
- To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
-
- o Place Instant File Access distribution diskette "Disk 1" in the
- appropriate diskette drive.
-
- o Execute the "SETUP.EXE" program on the distribution diskette.
- For example, if the distribution diskette is on drive A:, type
- the MS-DOS command, "WIN A:SETUP".
-
- o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
- You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
- are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
- program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
- the Instant File Access files to that directory. If you so direct
- it, the installation program will install executable programs and
- documentation in other directories of your choice. It will make
- no other changes; specifically, it will not modify your
- autoexec.bat or config.sys files. It can modify your Startup
- program manager group to automatically start Instant File Access
- when you start Windows.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
-
- If you downloaded Instant File Access from a BBS (or received it in the
- form of archive files from some other source), you will need to perform
- the following steps.
-
- o Extract the contents of the archive file(s) in a temporary
- directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this
- varies, depending on the form in which you received the package.
- In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means
- that you already have the necessary tools and knowledge to
- perform this step. If not, you should be able to obtain
- directions for this from the same source from which you received
- the package.
-
- o Execute the "SETUP.EXE" program which you have extracted. For
- example, if the temporary directory into which you have extracted
- the Instant File Access package is C:\TEMPDIR, you would execute
- the MS-DOS command, "WIN c:\tempdir\setup".
-
- o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
- You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
- are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
- program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
- the Instant File Access files to that directory. If you so direct
- it, the installation program will install executable programs and
- documentation in other directories of your choice. It will make
- no other changes; specifically, it will not modify your
- autoexec.bat or config.sys files.
-
- When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
- delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed Instant File
- Access (C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its
- contents.
-
-
- YOU'RE READY TO GO
-
- Once you've complete the installation, you should consult the documents
- which appear in your Instant File Access program manager group. In
- particular, read at least the "IFA Help" help file. That will give you a
- background knowledge of Instant File Access. We hope you enjoy the
- program.
