- CONTACT PLUS SHAREWARE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
-
- Welcome to the Contact Plus 2.18 shareware program. This brief file
- is intended to show you how to install Contact Plus on your hard disk.
-
- The enclosed file CPLUS218.EXE is self-extracting, that is, the program
- and data files are compressed into the file CPLUS218.EXE to save disk space.
- When you run the CPLUS218.EXE program, the following files will be created:
-
- C.HLP - Contact Help file (help messages displayed when F1 is pressed)
- CBACKUP.BAT - Backup batch file using the PKZIP command
- CBACKUP.XXX - Backup batch file using the COPY command only
- CONTACT.1 - sample mail/merge file
- CONTACT.2 - sample mail/merge file
- CONTACT.3 - sample mail/merge file
- CONTACT.LBL - sample mailing label template file
- CONTACT.FRM - sample letter template
- CONTACT.DT - actual Contact Plus data file
- CONTACT.HDR - Contact Plus parameters (screen colors, printer type, etc.)
- CONTACT.NOT - Contact Plus notefile
- CONTACT.NT0 - Contact Plus notefile index file
- CONTACT.NX0 - Contact Plus index file
- CONTACT.NX1 - Contact Plus index file
- CONTACT.NX2 - Contact Plus index file
- CONTACT.NX3 - Contact Plus index file
- CONTACT.NX4 - Contact Plus index file
- MSDEMO.EXE - Screen demo of MicroStar (not an actual working program)
- C.EXE - Contact Plus program
- READ.ME - Contact Plus Instructions
- README.1ST - This file
- INVOICE.DOC - Invoice for registration
-
- We suggest that you install using the following steps:
-
- 1) Create a directory on your hard disk called \CONTACT using
- the "make directory" command. Type MKDIR \CONTACT then press ENTER.
-
- 2) Change to the \CONTACT directory using the "change directory"
- command. Type CD \CONTACT then press ENTER.
-
- 3) Extract the Contact Plus program. Type CPLUS218 then press ENTER.
-
- 4) Print out the instruction file READ.ME. First make sure that your
- printer is online and ready then type COPY READ.ME PRN.
-
- The instruction file will be printed out.
-
- 5) If you have the PKZIP.EXE program available, Contact Plus will take
- advantage of that when backing up the Contact Plus database. In
- this case simply answer 'Y' when exiting the system and you are
- prompted to backup the database
-
- If you don't have PKZIP.EXE, issue the following command from
- the /CONTACT directory:
-
- COPY CBACKUP.XXX CBACKUP.BAT
-
- The PKZIP command will NOT be used to make a backup copy of the database.
- You really ought to get a registered copy of PKZIP ... its very handy
- and can be used to backup other programs and databases as well.
-
- 6) To run Contact Plus, simply enter C then press ENTER.
