- IMPORTANT****
-
- All of the files in the directory \VBMAGIC are assigned read-only attribute
- because they are stored on the CD-ROM. To run some of the VB programs in this
- directory, you must:
-
- (1) copy the files to your hard drive
- (2) set the attribute of the files to read-write.
-
- To help you copy the files to your hard drive and set the proper attributes,
- two .BAT files are included on the CD-ROM: INSTDEMO.BAT and PROGINST.BAT.
-
- INSTDEMO.BAT
- This file installs the Grand Canyon demo files to your hard disk. Use this
- command as follows:
-
- INSTDEMO <source drive> <target drive>
-
- source drive is the name of your CD drive and traget drive is the name of
- the hard drive where you plan to install the files.
-
-
- PROGINST.BAT
- This file installs all of the VB programs, source files, and other related
- files to your hard disk. Use this command as follows:
-
- PROGINST <source drive> <target drive>
-
- source drive is the name of your CD drive and traget drive is the name of
- the hard drive where you plan to install the files.
