This Installation Module will do a number of things
required for the proper operation of this package.
1 - It will create all of the required directories for
the system plus BACKUP directories as subdirectories off
of each primary.
2 - It will copy all of the required files to their
associated directories after doing a space check to
ensure adequate free space.
3 - It will then perform a hardware analysis to check for
the minimum requirements needed for this package and warn
of any problems.
4 - It will then create the required databases.
5 - It will then start the Host portion of this system
and turn control over to you.

The Database Statistics Module allows you to view the
stats for the systems databases. You are viewing the
structure and field layout for this DB. Up in the top
right corner, you will notice the word Count with a
number. This number is the actual amount of RECORDS
stored in the DB, NOT products/items/customers, etc.
Choose NEXT, to return to the DB Choices screen
to choose another DB to view. Choose EXIT, to exit or
HELP again, to get information for our Support Team.
Database Name (The name of the database)
OnLn   (Is the database on/off line?, if no, it
        must be re-built)
BkUp   (Has this database ever been backed-up ?)
Size   (The size that this database is in bytes.)
Count  (The number of RECORDS contained in the DB)

You have chosen a Database where there is more data than
can fit on one screen. Along with the NEXT (to choose
another DB), the EXIT (leave the Stats Module) and the
HELP (to get our Support Team Number), you may also
choose PAGE to advance to the next screen of data for
this DB. This is a forward only page and once you have
left this screen, you must choose this DB again to view
the first page.

You are in the DB Choice section where you may choose
a database for the Main Function you previously chose,
(ie: DataBase Backup, DataBase Statistics, DataBase
Build, etc.). This screen provides you with info such as
Database Generic Name, whether the DB is OnLine or not,
whether the DB has been backed up or not and if so, the
creation date for the backup found. By using the F Keys
or the mouse, you may choose PICK (to choose the high
lighted DB), UP (to move up one DB), DOWN (to move down
one DB), HELP (for our Support Team Number) or EXIT (to
leave this screen and return to the Menu.

This Backup/Restore Subsystem is meant for backing up
or restoring entire directories and not individual
files. The primary reason for this approach is because
of the fact that most of the data files interlink with
other data files in the same directory therefore if one
is backed up and not it's associated linked file, data
integrity problems could arise. The Installation module
automatically created backup directories for this
procedure so you just have to choose either BACK (for
backup) or REST (for restore) to transfer the files to
and/or from the proper location.

You may now choose one directory to backup or restore
or you may choose ALL, which will backup or restore all
of the associated data files. Use the UP and DOWN
buttons to highlight the directory and then choose PICK
to commence the operation. A percentage completion bar
is displayed for the total number of bytes to be moved.
