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.
