- * INSTALLING DB-EXPRESS PLUS (Version 2.0) *
- ***********************************************************************
-
- First, db-Express will need about 480 kb memory free in order to
- run correctly. Also, make sure that the FILES settings in your
- CONFIG.SYS file are set to at least 15. If not, make the change
- and reboot the system to activate the change.
-
- db-Express Plus Version 2.0 configures itself automatically upon startup,
- so from the directory where db-Express is located, just enter: DBE
-
- You may also start db-Express in Install Mode from the command
- line at any time. From the directory where db-Express is located,
- enter:
-
- DBE INSTALL {/M}
-
- The /M switch forces db-Express Plus to start in monochrome mode.
-
- If you already have some pre-existing dBASE III Plus data files, you can
- load them into db-Express Plus and see right away how easy using a database
- can be. Simply select "Files" from the main menu, then select "<Change Dir>"
- and enter the directory name where the files are. Highlight the name of
