===== Installation =====================================
A. INSTALLATION OVERVIEW FOR A BBS DOWNLOAD
Before you can use SMALL BUSINESS WISDOM for Windows you have to run the
SETUP program from Window's Program Manager so it will work properly on
your computer. YOU CANNOT JUST COPY THE UNZIPPED FILES TO A DIRECTORY ON
YOUR HARD DISK. SBW_PACK.EXE is a self extracting archive. The SETUP
program will expand it; put files in their correct places; and optionally
create a Windows Program Group.
B. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Although the program can be installed to any Target Directory on any Hard
Disk Drive, the instructions below assume that you are using the default
values of:
Hard Disk Drive: C:
Source Directory: \DOWNLOAD (Where the UnZipped Files are Located.)
Target Directory: \SBW25
If you use different values modify the instructions accordingly.
We suggest that you Copy BIZWIZ25.ZIP to a floppy disk and save it as
your backup copy before proceeding.
1. The installation process is started by running SETUP. Since SETUP is
a Windows application, you must start Windows (if you haven't
already done so), then
Windows 3.1 Users: Select Files|Run from Program Manager's menu
Windows 95 Users: Click Start|Run
In the provided text box type C:\DOWNLOAD\SETUP and click <OK>.*
(* Where "DOWNLOAD" is the name of the directory containing
the UnZipped files from BIZWIZ25.ZIP.)
2. SETUP assumes you will install to C:\SBW25. You will be given the
opportunity to change this assumption. SETUP will also ask your
permission to create a SMALL BUSINESS WISDOM Program Group and
populate it with group files. Unless you'd prefer to do this
yourself, we'd suggest you answer "Yes." **
3. The entire SETUP procedure takes about four minutes. Much of that
time will be spent unpacking compressed files. When SETUP is done,
there will be about a six second delay when nothing seems to be
happening, and then SMALL BUSINESS WISDOM will start to run.
4. After the program has run, you can delete all the SMALL BUSINESS
WISDOM files in the Download directory, such as BIZWIZ25.ZIP and
SBW_PACK.EXE.
** Please wait three seconds before answering "Yes." This dialog
will briefly flash on the screen before the files have been
unpacked. Some 386 owners, with quick reflexes, have managed to
answer "Yes" before the files have been unpacked. If you wait
three seconds, you're sure to answer "Yes" at the right time.
HINTS AND TIPS
When you start SMALL BUSINESS WISDOM, the first screen that
will appear is the Quick Start Menu dialog. Select the "Memo"
pushbutton. You'll see it in the lower right hand corner of
the dialog. It has the caption "Hints and Tips." It'll put you
into the help system and give you a brief summary of useful program
information.
----------------------
Quote-A-Day is an optional feature that enables you to start every
Windows session with a quote or joke.
Here's how it works: Windows has a StartUp group. Each time Windows
starts it will automatically run the program(s) in its StartUp group.
We've added a command switch, "D" for Daily, to SBW that takes
advantage of this feature.
When you start SBW with the D command switch, all the opening
screens are bypassed. Your quote, selected by Quote-A-Day, will be
the first thing you see. When you're done reading it, you can
select the Exit command to immediately end the program or you can
take some other action.
All you have to do to activate this feature is copy the program
icon to your StartUp group, and then add the D command switch to
the Program Item Properties' Command Line as follows:
Change: C:\SBW25\SBW
To: C:\SBW25\SBW D
Detailed instructions are as follows:
1. From Program Manager's Main Menu select Window | Small Business...
2. From Program Manager's Main Menu select Window | StartUp.
(Both groups should now be open on your Desktop. You may want
to move one group so you can see both of them.)
3. Press and hold down <CTRL> while you drag the SBW icon from
the SMALL BUSINESS WISDOM window to the StartUp window.
(Notice how the mouse pointer becomes a replica of the SBW icon.)
4. When the SBW icon is in the StartUp group window release both the
mouse button and the <CTRL> key.
5. From Program Manager's Main Menu select File | Properties and
the Program Item Properties dialog appears.
6. Press the <TAB> key once to move to the "Command Line."
7. Press the <END> key once to move to the end of the "Command Line."
8. Press the <SpaceBar> once and then type the letter D.
9. Click the OK button.
Quote-A-Day should now be enabled. It'll take effect the very next
time you start Windows.
-----------------------
If you're a new Windows user, we'll just mention that green text
in a Windows' help system designates a hypertext link. That means that
more, or related, information is available on that subject. You can
access it by positioning your mouse pointer on the green text and
clicking your left mouse button.
