Installing SLfile ================= The installation instruction provided are generic. They assume you that you have a basic working knowledge of the Windows user interface and file operations. 1. Create a new directory for SLfile or select an existing file for it. You can use the DOS command MKDIR or the Window file menu option to create a directory. In Windows95, you may use the "New" menu selection in the file explorer. 2. Copy the file(s) into the selected directory. If the distribution was in a compressed format, there will be a single file. Otherwise there will be multiple files. 3. If there was a single compressed file, uncompress it into the full set of files. If it is a ZIP format file, you can use PKUNZIP or an equivalent utility for this purpose. 4. Make the program available in the Windows user interface. For Windows 3.1, this will consist of selecting a program group and running the "New.." option from the File menu to add a program item to the group. In Windows95, this will consist of the taskbar setup option to add a program. This completes the generic installation instructions. See your Windows or DOS reference manuals for more details. Uninstalling SLfile =================== The uninstallation instruction provided are generic. They assume you that you have a basic working knowledge of the Windows user interface and file operations. 1. Delete the SLfile.exe, SLfile.hlp, and SLfile.wri files from the directory selected for them during the installation. 2. Delete the SLfile.ini file from the Windows directory. This will typically be C:\WINDOWS, but it may be different on your system. This completes the generic uninstallation instructions. See your Windows or DOS reference manuals for more details. Documentation ============== SLfile provides user documentation in three forms. Each of them provides essentially the same information. This allows you to use the form that best suites your needs. The document files are: 1) SLfile.WRI - This is a Windows 3.1 Write document that includes formatting. Load it into the Write applet in the Windows Accessories group or into the Windows95 WordPad accessory. This form is best for printing. 2) SLfile.TXT - This is a simple ASCI text format of the user manual. It is best suited for use with a text editor or for initial review of the manual. 3) SLfile.HLP - This is a Windows Help system help file. It is integrated into the SLfile program to be directly accessible from a menu selection. This form is best suited to on-line use.
