- { StampsNexus: philatelic collection records }(tm)
- ───────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
-
- { StampsNexus } must be installed on a hard drive. Do not attempt to
- install to, or run the program on, a floppy drive.
-
- To install, type:
-
- A:INSTALL <Enter> or B:INSTALL <Enter>
-
- There must be about 1.3MB of free space available on the target hard
- drive or the install process will be incomplete, with indication of an
- error and an exit to DOS. After installation, the program uses about
- 685k of space. The install process will create a directory on the
- destination drive, the default selection being \STAMPSNX. The install
- process does NOT modify your path, autoexec.bat, or config.sys.
-
-
- The 3 primary files included in this package are:
-
- README.TXT (this file) INSTALL.EXE __008.EXE
-
-
-
- The following paragraph relates *ONLY* to bulletin board downloads:
- If this program has been downloaded from a BBS, the three files may be
- moved to a diskette from which INSTALL.EXE is to be used, as indicated
- above. You may also run INSTALL.EXE from your downloads directory *IF*
- you are installing to a *DIFFERENT* logical drive from the one in which
- INSTALL.EXE exists. Do not attempt to install TO a floppy drive.
-
-
- For an alternative installation, copy the self-extracting file __008.EXE to
- a directory and simply execute that file. __008.EXE may then be deleted
- from the directory. Use of INSTALL.EXE provides verification along with
- installation and provides opportunity to print the documentation (about 11
- pages).
-
- In the program itself, press <Alt-M> to access the on-line documentation.
-
-
- After a new installation, the following 8 files must be present in the
- \STAMPSNX directory for a complete installation:
-
- PRINTER.DB
- ORDER.FRM
- REGISTER.EXE
- STAMPSNX.DB
- STAMPSNX.EXE
- STAMPSNX.DOC
- _8OVERL.EXE
- _ADMIN8.PCX
-
- Several index files (*.ix) will be built when the program first executes.

- Possible problems with DOS 6.0:
- ───────────────────────────────
- If you are using DOS 6.0 and are utilizing the EMM386 memory manager that
- comes with DOS 6.0, the potential for system lockups exists in running this
- or other programs which use expanded memory.
-
- If the user installs DOS 6 and uses the MEMMAKER utility to help load things
- high it will ask if there are programs that use EMS. If you answer NO,
- MEMMAKER will add the NOEMS parameter to the EMM386 driver line, which
- increases the amount of high memory by 64K (i.e., the size of the pageframe
- - nice if you have lots of drivers to load high). Unfortunately, this
- parameter has a different meaning with DOS 6 than it did with DOS 5.
-
- If problems should occur and you are using the NOEMS parameter on the EMM386
- line in your config.sys file, add the parameter NOVCPI after NOEMS. Save the
- change and reboot. It has also been suggested that you might omit the NOEMS
- parameter altogether. If problems persist, and you are using the FRAME=NONE
- switch, you should remove that parameter.
-
- We have found DOS versions 3.3 through 5.0 to be very stable.
