This text file contains instructions on how to install "Metric Conversions" from your hard disk. If you are reading this then you've already decompressed the program source files (including this file) into a temporary directory (Ex. C:\TEMPDIR). To install "Metric Conversions", follow the procedure described below. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT To execute "Metric Conversions" and the installation program for "Metric Conversions", the file "VBRUN200.DLL" is required in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. This file is available on Compuserve, and is named "VBRUN2.ZIP". Note that if you've already successfully downloaded and executed Visual Basic 2.0 shareware, then you already have the file "VBRUN200.DLL" and do not need to download it again. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Close all running Windows Applications (IMPORTANT). 2) From "Program Manager" open the File Menu and execute the Run command. 3) Enter the setup program name (SETUP1.EXE), including the drive\directory. For example, if the source files are located in the directory "C:\TEMPDIR", then you would enter "C:\TEMPDIR\SETUP1.EXE". 4) Follow the instructions provided by the "SETUP1.EXE" setup program. The setup program requests the location of the pre-installed program files, and the final destination of the installed "Metric Conversions" program files. Example: If the pre-installed program files are located in "C:\TEMPDIR", and you want to install "Metric Conversions for Windows" in the "C:\METRIC" directory, then "C:\TEMPDIR" and "C:\METRIC" become the source and destination directories. 5) Execute the "Metric Conversions" program by double clicking the newly created "Metric Conversions" program icon, located in the newly created "Metric Conversions" program group. 6) Delete the pre-installed program files and directory. Following our example, you would delete the "C:\TEMPDIR" directory and its contents.
