How to install DiaLog on your hard disk:
DiaLog will install itself on your hard disk in the default directory c:\DiaLog or in a directory of your choice. It will also optionally create a program group window with icons for executing DiaLog.
This program will not effect any other program or directory on your system. No modifications will be made to any of the files such as AutoExec.Bat, Config.Sys, Win.Ini, or any others.
DiaLog requires the library file 'VBRUN300.DLL' to reside in your Windows directory, or a directory in your PATH.
The following files make up the DiaLog installation package and should all reside together in the same directory for the installation to succeed:
(Pleas note DiaLog files start with 'Dial' for easy identification.)
Install.Exe The installation program
Install.In$ Part of the installation program
DialLog.Exe The DiaLog program
DialHelp.Hlp The DiaLog help file
DialRgst.Txt Registration form to register DiaLog
DialRead.Hlp This file
MyHelp.Hlp A sample help file
- Installation -
The installation procedure assumes you have created an Installation disk from the FoneW.Exe file. To obtain the installation diskette type:
FoneW a:\ or FoneW b:\
This will create the installation diskette on drive a: or b:, assuming you are in the directory where FoneW.Exe is located. Label it as: 'DiaLog for Windows Installation Disk'.
1. From the Windows Program Manager Menu select: <File> <Run ..>
2. Enter the path where your installation disk resides and add the installation program name. ( a:\Install or b:\Install )
3. The installation program will suggest c:\DiaLog as the directory for the DiaLog program. You may change the disk identifier and the directory name. However, do NOT add another level of sub directory, unless the sub directory exists. If you have a previous version of DiaLog already installed, just let "Install" install it on top of it.
4. The installation program will ask you if you want to create a program group window. You should answer 'yes', because you can always ask windows to move or delete it later. This provides you with ready-to-run icons. (See 'Deleting DiaLog from your system' later in this document.) If you already have a previous version of DiaLog with icons, then you should answer no, or you will have two sets of icons. (You can always delete one set.)
5. You are told the program has been successfully installed.
You are now ready to execute DiaLog. Simply double click on the DiaLog icon. DiaLog contains extensive help information. (Don't forget, VBRUN300.DLL must be in your Windows directory, or any other directory that is in your PATH.
