A Project/Event Planner (INSTALL.TXT - December 12, 1994) ======================================================================= As a precautionary measure, make a backup of any previously installed versions and associated files before proceeding with this installation. Also, review the RELEASE.TXT file for any last minute notes that may affect the installation procedure. The directions included in this document are for Windows 3.1 and are categorized into the following sections: Section 1. Standard Installation with INSTALL Utility Section 2. Manual Installation - Full Install Section 3. Manual Installation - Program Only Section 4. Manual Installation - Samples Only ======================================================================= Section 1. Standard Installation with INSTALL Utility ======================================================================= 1. Place the distribution diskette into the appropriate drive. If you do not have a distribution diskette and have down-loaded a compressed file, uncompress the file and place all of the distributed files into one disk directory. 2. From the Windows Program Manager or File Manager, select the Run option in the File menu. In response to the "Command Line:" prompt, enter the location of the INSTALL utility. For example if the distribution is located in drive A:, enter the following: A:\APLANR\INSTALL 3. Follow the directions given by the INSTALL utility. Once the installation starts, it should complete in less than a minute. ======================================================================= Section 2. Manual Installation - Full Install ======================================================================= 1. Create a directory where you want APLANR to reside in. You may use the Windows File Manager or DOS. 2. Copy all the program files from the diskette to the new directory. You may use the Windows File Manager or DOS. For example if your files reside in A: and you want to install them into C:\APLANR. In DOS type: MD C:\APLANR COPY A:\APLANR\*.* C:\APLANR 3. You may now execute the program named "APLANR.EXE" directly with the Windows File Manager. If you want to set up an icon in a program group to execute APLANR.EXE, refer to the "Working with Program Items" section in the Program Manager chapter of the Windows User's Guide. Using the same example as above, you enter the following in the "Program Item Properties" dialog box: Description: APLANR Command Line: C:\APLANR\APLANR.EXE Working Directory: C:\APLANR ======================================================================= Section 3. Manual Installation - Program Only ======================================================================= You do not have to copy all of the files to your disk, but the required files are "APLANR.EXE" and "APLANR.HLP". These are the program executable and help files respectively. Use the DOS copy command or the Windows File Manager to replace the old APLANR.EXE (program executable) and APLANR.HLP (program help file) with the new versions from the distribution diskette. The new versions use the same filenames. For example if your old files reside in "c:\aplanr", sample commands to copy the files are: COPY A:\APLANR\APLANR.EXE C:\APLANR COPY A:\APLANR\APLANR.HLP C:\APLANR ======================================================================= Section 4. Manual Installation - Samples Only ======================================================================= To install the sample data, you just need to copy the sample files. The sample files all start with the letters "PV". For example if "C:\APLANR" holds the executable programs, you could create a directory "C:\APLANR\SAMPLES". A sample command to copy all the sample data from a diskette in drive A is given below: COPY A:\APLANR\PV*.* C:\APLANR\SAMPLES When you run the program, use the "Directories" option of the "Options" menu to tell the program to use this directory to access the sample data. ***DO NOT*** copy the sample plans of the new version into the same directory as your current plan files, because the sample plan files will over-write yours. =======================================================================
