********************** INSTALLATION **********************
INSTALLING FROM A FLOPPY DISK
Run setup.exe from the Program Manager.
INSTALLING FROM A DOWNLOADED PSA Cards ZIP FILE
Run psacr33.exe from the Program Manager.
INSTALL.EXE -- MORE DETAILED INFORMATION
The installation program will copy the PSA Cards files
to whatever directory you choose. The installation
directory can be the same as directory for the
downloaded PSA Cards file.
After copying the Cards files to the installation
directory, the install program will create a program
group and program items in the Program Manager. There
will be program items for PSA Cards, Cards Help, and
this readme.txt file.
The OLE 2.0 dynamic libraries are supplied by Microsoft
for installation in systems running 16 bit versions of
Windows. That is, Windows 3.1 and Windows 3.11
(Windows for Workgroups). If you are running a 32 bit
version of Windows, you should download or order the
32 bit version of PSA Cards.
If MICROSOFT OFFICE is running, it will probably prevent
the installation of the OLE files. If there is a
problem with copying the OLE files, shut down MS Office
and try the installation again.
If this doesn't fix the problem, try shutting down and
restarting Windows. Then restart the installation. If
you already have the OLE 2.0 libraries, the install
program will compare library versions and will not
overwrite a newer library version with an older one.
The OLE 2.0 files are:
COMPOBJ.DLL
MFCOLEUI.DLL
OLE2.DLL
OLE2.REG
OLE2CONV.DLL
OLE2DISP.DLL
OLE2NLS.DLL
OLEPROX.DLL
STDOLE.TLB
STORAGE.DLL
TYPELIB.DLL
The OLE 2.0 libraries must be registered with the
REGEDIT.EXE program. REGEDIT.EXE is part of Windows.
REGEDIT.EXE is run automatically by the installation
program.
LOADING A DATA FILE ON STARTUP
The installation program sets up PSA Cards to automatically
open the file "sample.car" each time you double click on
the PSA Cards icon. If you want to open a different file
on program startup, use the Program manager "Properties"
command to change the Command Line entry. The new data
file name replaces "sample.car" after the program name
(cards.exe). Be sure to leave a blank between the program
name and the file name.
