- INSTALLING COELI - STELLA 2000
- ------------------------------
-
-
- Windows automatic installation
- ------------------------------
-
- Your Stella package is installed simply by double clicking on
- the file SETUP.EXE once you have unzipped the contents of
- Stella.zip to a folder of your choosing.
-
- We recommend the excellent WinZip utility for unpacking
- Stella's main .zip archive. You can get the latest version
- of Winzip from
-
- http://www.winzip.com
-
- If you have not already done so, we would additionally
- recommend that, prior to running SETUP.EXE, you use Explorer
- to create a new folder called Astronomy inside the Windows 95
- Start Menu folder. Just navigate to Windows\Start Menu and
- click with the right mouse button on some unoccupied space in
- Explorer's right-hand window. You'll see a popup menu, one of
- whose options will be |New|. Select |Folder| from the submenu,
- and name it 'Astronomy' or some other appropriate title. After
- setup, you will be able to manually move the shortcut named
- Stella 2000 into this new folder for a tidier and more compact
- Start menu.
-
- Tip: when in doubt about the Win95 Explorer's file-listing,
- just press [F5] to refresh its display. Very often, an item you
- thought wasn't there will magically appear!
-
- NB: IF INSTALLING OVER A PRIOR VERSION OF STELLA (WHETHER
- TRIAL OR REGISTERED), FIRST COPY ANY OBSERVATION LOG FILES
- (.STL) TO A SAFE PLACE BEFORE PROCEDING WITH THE REMOVAL OF
- THE OLD VERSION VIA THE CONTROL PANEL.
-
- WHEN YOU HAVE REMOVED THE OLD INSTALLATION, YOU MAY THEN
- CONFIDENTLY PROCEED WITH THE SETUP OF THE NEW VERSION OF
- STELLA 2000, FINALLY COPYING BACK THE LOG FILES WHEN THIS HAS
- COMPLETED TO YOUR SATISFACTION.
-
- THE SETUP UTILITY LEAVES ALL PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED FILES OF THE
- SAME NAME INTACT, SO WITHOUT FIRST REMOVING THE LAST
- INSTALLATION, A NEW COPY OF THE PACKAGE CANNOT BE INSTALLED.
-
- Stella may be uninstalled at any time simply by opening
- Control Panel from the Settings entry in your Start Menu, and
- double- clicking on the item Add/Remove Programs. You will be
- shown a list of programs currently installed on your system,
- from which you should select the item 'Stella 2000' for
- automatic removal.
-
- The complete Stella 2000 package contains a number of text
- files, all designed to help you get started with the minimum
- of fuss. Have a browse through any item with the .TXT or .RTF
- extension if you've the time. Some of these will necessitate
- the selection of |Word Wrap| in Notepad or whichever text
- editor you elect to view them in.
-
- If you encounter a serious installation problem, please do not
- hesitate to get in touch.
