************************************************************************* * * * ODYSSEY COMMUNICATIONS SOFTWARE v1.50 USA SHAREWARE VERSION * * ------------------------------------------------------------ * * Copyright (C) 1991, Don Milne and Micropack Ltd * * * ************************************************************************* INSTALLING. If you downloaded Odyssey Shareware Version from a BBS, then it probably came as a file called ODY150SH.ZIP, and contained the following files:- ODY150SH.LZH - The Odyssey Shareware Program - archived. INSTALL.EXE - Odyssey Installation Program. README.TXT - You are reading it now. You may if you wish now unpack the LZH file using LHARC, however the reason for packing the files in this way is to make it easier for you to install, using the supplied installation program, which will also create the necessary configuration files etc. Here's how to to use the install program:- 1. Change to the drive/directory containing the above files. 2. run INSTALL. For example, if the files came on a floppy, then (pressing after each line) :- a: -- change to your floppy drive. install -- start the install program. INSTALL will ask you for any details it requires during installation, such as what drive and directory to use, what port your modem is connected to, etc. It does NOT change your CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT or do any other strange tricks. When it's done you are ready to go. Enjoy your evaluation period! Remember to read ODY150SH.DOC for summarised info on using the package. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- LEGALESE (short version). This package is a SHAREWARE distribution version of the Odyssey Communications program. It has been provided to allow you to fully evaluate the usefulness of the Odyssey package BEFORE spending your hard earned pennies. Please remember that SHAREWARE does NOT mean "Free Software", and it most certainly does NOT mean that Odyssey is in the public domain. The purpose of the Odyssey shareware version is solely to allow you to decide whether or not Odyssey meets your needs. If it does, then we expect you to pay for it! If you downloaded the package from a BBS, then you have not paid for it, whether or not the BBS has connect charges.
