ZIPPER Payroll Version 1.5 - README.1ST
INSTALLATION OF ZIPPER PAYROLL
Installation of ZIPPER Payroll involves three steps. These steps should
be performed in the order listed below.
**************************************************************************
ZIPPER PAYROLL MUST BE RUN FROM A HARD DISK DRIVE. IF YOUR COMPUTER DOES
NOT HAVE A HARD DISK DRIVE, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE THIS PROGRAM.
**************************************************************************
You should have at least two megabytes (2 MB) of space available on your
hard disk. After ZIPPER Payroll is installed you can reclaim some of this
disk space (see the README.2ND file, "Reclaiming Disk Space"). The ZIPPER
Payroll data files will continue to grow as you process payroll, so two
megabytes should be considered a reasonable minimum.
Step 1. CREATE A ZIPPER DIRECTORY ON YOUR HARD DISK DRIVE.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
You need to create a DOS directory to hold the various program and data
files (see list below) that make up the ZIPPER Payroll program. If you
are unsure about how this is done, see your DOS User's Manual.
Example: Start by selecting a name for this DOS directory. We recommend
the name ZIPPER. Assuming you want to install ZIPPER Payroll on your C
Drive, at the DOS prompt type: "MD C:\ZIPPER". (Do not enter the quotes).
The DOS command MD (Make Directory) will create a directory named ZIPPER
on your C Disk Drive.
Step 2. COPY ZIPPER FILES TO YOUR HARD DISK DRIVE.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Insert either of the ZIPPER Payroll program diskettes (3-1/2" diskette
users receive only one diskette) in the floppy disk drive you wish to use,
and enter the command:
COPY A:*.* C:\ZIPPER
where "A:" represents the floppy drive you are installing from, and
"C:\ZIPPER" represents the Drive and directory (that you created in step
#1) where you want to install ZIPPER Payroll.
After DOS has copied the files contained on the first diskette, repeat
this process for the other ZIPPER Payroll program disk. It does not make
any difference in which order the diskettes are copied.
Step 3. UNARCHIVE ZIPPER PROGRAM FILES.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
All ZIPPER Payroll program, data, and documentation files, other then the
file you are now reading, are contained in the self-extracting compressed
files ZPACK1.EXE and ZPACK2.EXE. These files should now be located in the
directory you defined in Step 1. You need to uncompress these files
before you can use ZIPPER Payroll. To do this you need to be in the
ZIPPER Payroll directory.
*** [ If you obtained your copy of ZIPPER Payroll from a Bulletin Board
Service (BBS), it is likely that the file format may be somewhat different
than described in the proceeding paragraph. If the files have a .ZIP or
.ARC filename extension, then you will need a copy of an "archiving"
(packing) program to unarchive (unpack) the files. These programs are
available from shareware disk vendors and BBS's. In cases where ZIPPER
Payroll has been uploaded directly to a BBS, it has been uploaded as a
single file, ZIPPERnn.ZIP, where "nn" is the version number. ] ***
Assuming you have created this directory on your C Drive, first "log on"
to this drive by entering the command (no quotes) "C:". You should now be
"logged-on" to the C drive (or whatever drive you selected). Now enter
the command (no quotes) "CD \ZIPPER" where "ZIPPER" is the directory name
you selected in Step 1. The DOS command CD (Change Directory) will move
you ("log on") to the ZIPPER Payroll directory.
To unpack (decompress) ZIPPER Payroll, enter (no quotes) "ZPACK1". When
the unpacking process is finished, enter (no quotes) "ZPACK2". This will
repeat the process for the second archived file.
**************************************************************************
YOU MAY NOW ERASE THE TWO FILES ZPACK1.EXE AND ZPACK2.EXE. THESE FILES
ARE NO LONGER NEEDED AND ONLY TAKE UP DISK SPACE.
**************************************************************************
You should verify that you have the following program and data files. If
ANY of these files are missing you do not have a complete program set.
This list of files is also contained in the disk file FILES.DOC.
