Oriana for Windows Thank you for your interest in Oriana for Windows. This file gives some information on installing the program as well as any late breaking developments that haven't been included in the help file. A version history and contact address for Kovach Computing Services can be found at the end of this file. ***************************************************************** * Oriana is shareware. This means that you may try the program * * for up to 30 days to determine if it suits your needs. If * * you continue using it then you must register by paying a fee * * to the author. See the file REGISTER.TXT and the "Register" * * option on the Oriana Help menu and on the "About" box for * * more details. Details of the distribution policy for Oriana * * Shareware are given in the file VENDOR.TXT. * ***************************************************************** INSTALLATION ============= If you have downloaded this program from the Internet or a BBS the files will be contained in two .ZIP archive files. This is done for easier downloading, because the complete set of files takes up well over 1Mb. The files will be called ORIAxxxA.ZIP AND ORIAxxxB.ZIP, where the xxx is the version number (i.e. 100 for version 1.00). See the file FILES.LST for the contents of these two archives. These two ZIP files must first be unzipped, either to a single high-density disk or to a temporary directory on your hard disk, before beginning the installation process described below. The files that comprise Oriana are compressed on the distribution disk. Note that they must be decompressed to work properly. That means you cannot simply copy the files from the disk to your hard disk. An installation program is provided to decompress the files and place them in the appropriate place on the disk. It is best to use this program to ensure that Oriana is installed correctly. To run the installation program follow the following directions. It is assumed that the disk will be in floppy disk drive A:. If you have the disk in a different drive simply substitute the appropriate drive letter. 1. Place the distribution disk in the floppy drive. 2. Do one of the following to start the installation program: a) Choose the File command in Windows Program Manager and click on the Run... option. Type 'a:install' in the dialog box that will appear. b) Using Windows File Manager, list the directory of the A: disk drive. Double click on the file 'install.exe' 3. From this point, simply follow the directions on screen. You will be asked several questions, including: a) which directory to install the program to - you can install the program to any directory on any hard disk on your system b) which Program Manager group should contain the icon for Oriana (if any) UNINSTALLING ============= If you wish to remove Oriana from your system, there are several files that can be deleted. First, all of the files in the Oriana directory can be deleted and the directory removed. These files will include ORIANAW.EXE (the main program file), ORIANAW.HLP (the help file), and all files with the .ORI (data files), .DSK (desktop files) and .BAK (backup data files) extensions. The configuration file named ORIANAW.INI, which will be located in your WINDOWS directory, can also be removed. In addition, several files are installed to your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. These are files that are used by Oriana but might also be used by other programs on your computer. You must be careful that you do not delete these files if they are being used by another program. The file BWCC.DLL in particular is used by many other programs developed with Borland International's development tools. It is probably best never to delete this file. Also in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory are the Graphics Server files (GSW.EXE and GSWDLL.DLL), which might be used by other programs that create graphs, and the Drover's Professional Toolbox files (TBPROxW.DLL, where the 'x' is a single numeral). You can remove these if you are certain there are no other programs that use them. It might be wise to move these to a separate directory for a few days so that you can easily move them back if one of your other programs stops working.
