Select RUN from the FILE menu of the Program Manager. 3. Type A:\SETUP (or B:\SETUP) and press ENTER. From your hard disk: If you got your copy of NoteMan from a BBS or online service then you will most likely have downloaded a single compressed file containing all the files that make up the NoteMan installation disk. If you wish to run the installation from your hard disk then do the following. 1. Make a directory anywhere on your hard disk. 2. Place all the uncompressed NoteMan installation files in this directory. 3. Run the Windows setup program "SETUP.EXE" from this directory. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- NoteMan Files: These go into your NOTEMAN directory. NOTEMAN.EXE - NoteMan executable. NOTEMAN.HLP - NoteMan help file. UTILS.DLL - Utility functions DLL. TOOLBAR.DLL - Toolbar functions DLL. CONVERT.DLL - Database conversion DLL.
