- Introduction:
- -------------
-
- Thank you for trying The Programmer's Productivity Pack!
-
- The evaluation version of the Programmer's Productivity Pack is
- usually distributed on two diskettes and/or in two compressed
- files. The programs are contained in a file called PPP25P with
- an .EXE or .ZIP extension. The User's Guide is contained in a
- file called PPP25D with an .EXE or .ZIP extension. Be sure you
- have both files before attempting to use the Programmer's
- Productivity Pack. The User's Guide is very important!
-
- Complete instructions for using the Programmer's Productivity
- Pack, version 2.50, are contained in the PROPAK.DOC text file
- (the User's Guide). For your convenience page breaks and margins
- are already set. We recommend printing a copy of that document
- for reference while you are using the programs. Please be aware
- that the User's Guide is very long (about 170 pages).

-
-
- Here are a few examples of how you can print any of the
- documentation files. For the purpose of the example we will
- print this text file (READ.ME).
-
-
- Using the DOS "PRINT" program to print in the background:
-
- PRINT READ.ME <Enter>
-
-
- Using the DOS "COPY" command:
-
- COPY READ.ME PRN <Enter>
-
-
- Using the DOS "TYPE" command:
-
- TYPE READ.ME > PRN <Enter>
-
-
- Please take a few minutes to read the Quick Start Tutorials in
- the User's Guide (PROPAK.DOC). They will provide you with the
- information you need to get up and running with the Programmer's
- Productivity Pack, in a minimal amount of time.
-
- Please read the TIPS listed in the User's Guide (PROPAK.DOC).
- They will provide you with useful information on getting the most
- out of your time with the Programmer's Productivity Pack.
-
- If any questions arise please consult the text file called
- ANSWERS.TXT. It answers the most common questions people ask
- when getting started with The Programmer's Productivity Pack.

- Installation Instructions:
- --------------------------
-
- Installation is easy. Simply copy the files with an .EXE
- extension into a subdirectory of your choice. For floppy disk
- systems copy PCustom.EXE and ProPak.EXE to one diskette, and
- PCustom.EXE and ProSwap.EXE to another diskette. This will
- enable you to use and customize whichever program you prefer.
-
- If you do not have a hard disk, or if you are using a version of
- DOS earlier than 3.0, please refer to the description of ProSwap
- in the User's Guide (PROPAK.DOC).

- --------------------
- Configuration Files:
- --------------------
-
- The first time you run the programs in the Programmer's
- Productivity Pack they will generate two configuration files -
- PROPAK.CFG and PROSWAP.CFG. These configuration files contain
- customizing information such as screen color attributes, sound
- effects, etc. These are the files that will be modified by
- PCustom when you customize the package for your own preferences.
-
- The configuration files (PROPAK.CFG and PROSWAP.CFG) are marked
- read-only, therefore you will not be able to delete them using
- the DOS "DEL" or "ERASE" commands. To make it easy for you to
- delete the configuration files if you ever need to, we have
- supplied the KILLCFGS.EXE program. KillCfgs will delete
- PROPAK.CFG and PROSWAP.CFG for you.
-
- KillCfgs only looks in the current directory for the
- configuration files. Simply make the directory containing the
- configuration files the current directory and type "KILLCFGS"
- <Enter>. KillCfgs requires no command line parameters.
-
- Thanks for your support. Happy ProPak'n!
