Thank you for choosing LifeTime!  LifeTime is the PIM that makes 
the basic tasks of time management easier than any other.  Follow 
the simple instructions below to install.  If you are already 
using LifeTime 1.00, just install this new version into the same 
directory, overlaying the old one, and all your database 
information will be preserved.  This version will also be 
automatically registered if you are a currently registered user. 

      INSTALLING LIFETIME
Just choose "Run" from the Program Manager File menu, and in the 
box that comes up, type A:\SETUP.EXE.  This assumes you have the 
LifeTime files on a diskette in your A:\ drive.  If they are 
anywhere else instead, type in the path to them in place of the 
"A:\".  Before you try to install, though, see the section on 
VBRUN300.DLL.

      DOS SHARE
As a potentially multi-user product, LifeTime requires to have 
DOS SHARE present for its database access.  SHARE is initiated in 
the CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT files.  If you do not currently 
run DOS SHARE, insert the following line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT 
file before it calls Windows:
 
C:\DOS\SHARE.EXE

This assumes that DOS is on that drive and directory.

      VBRUN300.DLL
LifeTime requires a special library of routines called 
VBRUN300.DLL.  The SETUP program mentioned above must have this 
file available also in order to run.

If you obtained your LifeTime files directly from a bulletin 
board, this file was probably not included among the ones you 
downloaded for LifeTime.  This is because VBRUN300.DLL is a file 
common to many Windows programs, and most of the people who 
download LifeTime will already have this file.

Virtually any source from which you obtained these LifeTime files 
will also be able to provide you with VBRUN300.DLL.  And if you 
got the files from a current user, it should already be on the 
disk.  To see if it is either there, or on your system, try 
running the SETUP program as directed above.  If VBRUN300.DLL is 
not present, a message will appear saying that the program cannot 
be run.

Once you have VBRUN300.DLL, you may place it on the 
WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.

      MANUAL INSTALL
If you experience a problem installing through the SETUP program, 
you may install the files manually. In File Manager, create a new 
directory called LIFETIME (you may use another name if you wish). 
Then copy all the LifeTime files into it.

You will also want to create the icon to represent LifeTime on 
your desktop.  Follow the instructions in your Windows manual to 
do this.

If you want to make the common Windows routines in LifeTime
available to other programs you might obtain, you can move them
from the LifeTime directory to a place where they can be accessed
by other programs as well as LifeTime.  In File Manager, move the 
files VBRUN300.DLL and CMDIALOG.VBX into the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM 
directory.  You should check first, however, to make sure you 
don't overlay a more recent copy of these files that may already 
be there.  You can then delete them from your LifeTime directory, 
as only one copy of them is needed.

      INSTALLING THE LIFETIME UTILITIES
Upon registering LifeTime, your Registration Key diskette will 
contain the bonus Utility files in the \UTILS\ directory. Just 
choose "Run" from the Program Manager File menu, and in the box 
that comes up, type A:\UTILS\SETUP.EXE.  This assumes you have 
the LifeTime Utility files on a diskette in your A:\ drive.  If 
they are anywhere else instead, type in the path to them in place 
of the "A:\".

NOTE: The INSTALL.EXE program may not operate correctly unless 
the file VBRUN300.DLL, which came with your original LifeTime 
program files, is moved to the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.  

      MANUAL INSTALL FOR UTILITIES
If you experience a problem installing through the SETUP program, 
you may install the files manually. In File Manager, select the 
directory where your original LifeTime program files reside. Then 
copy all the LifeTime Utility files into it, except SETUP.EXE. 
That file has the same name as one in the original LifeTime 
program files, and that file is needed for the installation of 
Evaluation copies you might make for other people (through the 
"Create a Copy" menu pick).  

The utility programs can be called from the File menu of 
LifeTime, but you may optionally create icons to represent them. 
Follow the instructions in your Windows manual to do this.
