- INSTALLING COELI - ADASTRA
- ---------------------------
-
- Before you do anything else, place your mouse-pointer over the
- time readout in your System Tray and make sure your PC's clock
- is showing today's date. If not, you will need to double click
- and set it before attempting to install this Coeli product.
-
-
- Windows automatic installation
- ------------------------------
-
- Your Adastra package is installed simply by double clicking on
- the file SETUP.EXE once you have unzipped the contents of
- Adastra.zip to a folder of your choosing.
-
- We recommend the excellent WinZip utility for unpacking
- Adastra'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
- Adastra 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!
-
- 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.
-
- Adastra 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 'Adastra 2000' for
- automatic removal.
-
- The complete Adastra 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.
