FILE LIST --------- A complete set of files for PAYROLL USA Vers. 4.11 is distributed on 2 360K 5 1/4 inch diskettes. BBS operators may wish to further compress each diskette into a large ZIP file then post each of the two resulting large ZIP files on their board with this PAYUS41.TXT information file, if possible, example PAYUS41.TXT PAYROLL USA V4.11 DOWNLOAD INFO. AT 1/93 PAYUS411.ZIP PAYROLL USA V4.11 DISK 1 OF 2 RELEASED 1/93 PAYUS412.ZIP PAYROLL USA V4.11 DISK 2 OF 2 RELEASED 1/93 It will take about one hour to download both disks at 2400 baud (half an hour each), or about 15 minutes total at 9600 baud. It is a big download but it will be worthwhile. If your users are allowed to stay on line long enough to download the whole thing in one session you could optionally copy both disks to a temporary directory on your hard drive then create one big zip file which includes the contents of both disks (don't unzip our zips, just create a big zip with our zips, our install, and our other files inside of your zip). Our install.exe does not care if our zips are on one diskette or two, or even if they are on a hard drive, but we do require that the end user have access to our install so that our zips are finally unpacked onto our standard directory names for ease of telephone support and upgrades.

VENDOR DOC 3435 01-16-93 Distributor Info. INSTALL2 BAT 897 01-16-93 Tells you to start install with disk 1 INSTALLATION FROM DISKETTES --------------------------- Payroll USA is distributed on two 5 1/4 inch 360K diskettes so it can be installed on older computers that have low density drives. These disks are also readable by high density drives so they fit everybody. Disk vendors may wish to copy both of our distribution disks onto one 5 1/4 inch 1.2 meg high density disk, or onto one 3 1/2 inch 720K or 1.44 meg diskette. As long as all files are present, our install does not care whether it is one or two diskettes or whether they are low or high density. If you received the two diskettes, put disk 1 in drive A and type A: CD \ INSTALL then insert disk 2 when prompted. If using drive B to install then simply substitute B: for the A: in the above instructions. If install finds that all files are on one diskette you will not be prompted for a second diskette. INSTALLATION FROM MODEM DOWNLOADS --------------------------------- If you downloaded the disks over your modem as two large ZIP or ARC etc. files then they must be unpacked first onto whichever directory you use to test downloads, or onto diskettes. They can both be unpacked onto the same disk or directory. Once unpacked run the INSTALL program and it will do the rest for you. If you experience any difficulty with the INSTALL program you may install the files manually. The DOS commands to do this (assuming your hard disk is drive C and you unpacked the two large ZIP or ARC files onto a directory called \DOWNLOAD) would be: C: MD \PAYSLIDE CD \PAYSLIDE COPY \DOWNLOAD\PKUNZIP.EXE PKUNZIP \DOWNLOAD\PAYUS41A PKUNZIP \DOWNLOAD\PAYUS41B DELETE PKUNZIP.EXE MD \PAYPGMS CD \PAYPGMS COPY \DOWNLOAD\PKUNZIP.EXE PKUNZIP \DOWNLOAD\PAYUS41C PKUNZIP \DOWNLOAD\PAYUS41D PKUNZIP \DOWNLOAD\PAYUS41E PKUNZIP \DOWNLOAD\TESTDATA DELETE PKUNZIP.EXE RUNNING PAYROLL USA ------------------- Decompressing the ZIP files is a one time job. It need never be done a second time. Once decompressed, whether manually or by the INSTALL.EXE program, you can run the component programs as follows: To see the Slide Show or print the Documentation: C: CD \PAYSLIDE RUNSLIDE To use the PAYROLL USA system: C: CD \PAYPGMS PAYUSA HAVE FUN !!!
