They could be in one large ZIP file, PAYCAN40.ZIP, containing the entire contents of our distribution diskette zipped into one file, with the FILE_ID.DIZ description visible in your download directory, example: PAYCAN40.ZIP PAYROLL CANADA V4.02 Rel 2/95. 2 x 360K DISKS The best payroll system on the market for the IBM PC XT and 286/386/486 compatibles running DOS. Includes PIF and ICO files for start up from Windows 3.1 if you have it (but windows is not required). Very complete payroll for all sizes of company, lots of features, works in any Province (except Quebec). Can handle multiple files (good for multi-client payroll prep. services). Calc. pay and taxes, prints cheques (or pay slips), T4, PD7AR, & internal reports. Use with any accounting system. Requires hard drive and dot matrix or laser printer. or if you prefer to split it into 2 smaller ZIP files you might want to use our supplied 2DISKSET.BAT to create two 360K diskettes then zip each 360K diskette into PAYCN401.ZIP and PAYCN402.ZIP then post them with a modified FILE_ID.DIZ description for each, or with the PAYCN40.TXT information file and a one liner description such as: PAYCN40.TXT PAYROLL CANADA V4.02 DOWNLOAD INFO. AT 2/95 PAYCN401.ZIP PAYROLL CANADA V4.02 DISK 1 OF 2 RELEASED 2/95 PAYCN402.ZIP PAYROLL CANADA V4.02 DISK 2 OF 2 RELEASED 2/95 Either way please do not unzip our zips and repack them, just create a big zip with our zips, our install, and our other files inside of your zip. (If you wish to unzip our zips for testing or virus checking do not re-zip the unpacked files, just delete them when you are done testing and create your distribution zip(s) only from our supplied diskette). Our install.exe does not care if our zips are on one diskette or two, or even if they are on a hard drive, but we do require that the end user have access to our install so that our zips are finally unpacked onto our standard directory names for ease of telephone support and upgrades. It will take about one hour to download both disks at 2400 baud (half an hour each), or about 15 minutes total at 9600 baud. Proportionately less at higher speeds. It is a big download but it will be worthwhile. DISKETTE VENDORS ---------------- If you received it direct from us Payroll CANADA will be on one 3 1/2 inch low density (720K) disk so it can be installed on older computers that have low density drives. The low density disk is also readable "as is" by high density 3 1/2 inch drives. It can also easily be copied to high density 5 1/4 inch 1.2 meg or 3 1/2 inch 1.44 meg disks with DOS COPY *.* or XCOPY *.* to a pre- formatted high density disk of the required size. Those vendors still selling low density 5 1/4 inch 360K disks can split our distribution disk using our supplied 2DISKSET.BAT file. If you add your own start up program it must start our INSTALL.EXE (which will be on disk 1 of a 2 disk set). If you need more space for your own vendor distribution files delete SCRAMBLE.EXE (31664 bytes) which is a data encryption program that is not essential to the running of PAYROLL CANADA (its use is optional). Do not delete anything else. As long as all files are present, our INSTALL.EXE does not care whether it is one or two diskettes or whether they are low or high density. DO NOT install or otherwise expand all the component zips (PAYCN40a.zip, PAYCN40b.zip PAYCN40c.zip etc.) then re-pack them for distribution in some different order or with different names. Our install.exe depends on finding our file names in the original zip file names we gave them. It makes it simpler for the end user to install the registered user version and annual upgrades if the unzipped shareware version is on a known directory (which our install uses - \PAYPGMS for the working programs and \PAYSLIDE for the slide show). INSTALLATION FROM DISKETTES --------------------------- If you received the two diskettes, put disk 1 in drive A and type A: CD \ INSTALL then insert disk 2 when prompted. If using drive B to install then simply substitute B: for the A: in the above instructions. If install finds that all files are on one diskette you will not be prompted for a second diskette. INSTALLATION FROM MODEM DOWNLOADS --------------------------------- If you downloaded the disks over your modem as two large ZIP or ARC etc. files then they must be unpacked first onto whichever directory you use to test downloads, or onto diskettes. They can both be unpacked onto the same disk or directory. Once unpacked make that directory the active directory and run the INSTALL program, it will do the rest for you. (You will be unzipping the file(s) you downloaded to reconstitute what would have been on a distribution diskette, then INSTALL will be unzipping that onto the final working directories. You can delete the contents of the intermediate directory containing INSTALL.EXE after installation is complete) If you experience any difficulty with the INSTALL program you may install the files manually. The DOS commands to do this (assuming your hard disk is drive C and you unpacked the two large ZIP or ARC files onto a directory called \DOWNLOAD) would be: C: MD \PAYSLIDE CD \PAYSLIDE COPY \DOWNLOAD\PKUNZIP.EXE PKUNZIP \DOWNLOAD\PAYCN40A PKUNZIP \DOWNLOAD\PAYCN40B DELETE PKUNZIP.EXE MD \PAYPGMS CD \PAYPGMS COPY \DOWNLOAD\PKUNZIP.EXE PKUNZIP \DOWNLOAD\PAYCN40C PKUNZIP \DOWNLOAD\PAYCN40D PKUNZIP \DOWNLOAD\PAYCN40E PKUNZIP \DOWNLOAD\TESTDATA DELETE PKUNZIP.EXE RUNNING PAYROLL CANADA ------------------- Decompressing the ZIP files is a one time job. It need never be done a second time. Once decompressed, whether manually or by the INSTALL.EXE program, you can run the component programs as follows: To use the PAYROLL CANADA system: C: CD \PAYPGMS PAYMENU The Slide Show was last updated April, 1990. It is rather dated and in 1994 has been replaced by the new 31 page PAYROLL CANADA instruction manual PAYROLL.DOC which can be displayed or printed from the PAYMENU.EXE start up menu choice "F3 READ OR PRINT DOCUMENTATION & REGISTRATION INFO". It contains all most users need to know in a much more compact and up to date form than the old slide show. We are, however, retaining the Slide Show for now as a reference source should you need it. To see the Slide Show C: CD \PAYSLIDE RUNSLIDE or select choice "F4 SEE OR PRINT THE PAYROLL CANADA SLIDE SHOW" from the PAYMENU.EXE start up menu DELETING THE INSTALLED PROGRAMS ------------------------------- If you decide PAYROLL CANADA is not for you and you wish to recover the disk space it occupies then (assuming it is installed on Drive C): C: { or whichever drive it was installed to } ERASE \PAYPGMS ERASE \PAYSLIDE ERASE \PAYIN { \PAYIN and \PAYOUT are default data directories, your } ERASE \PAYOUT { employee data is here, be certain you want to erase it } RD \PAYPGMS RD \PAYSLIDE RD \PAYIN RD \PAYOUT HAVE FUN !!!
