-
- Welcome to Code-A-Line!
-
- This is a shareware program which you are free to evaluate before
- you buy. Plese refer to the online documentation for the software
- license and registration information.
-
- This file explains the steps that you should follow to install
- Code-A-Line. It also explains the changes that Code-A-Line makes
- on your disk upon installation so that you can easily uninstall
- it, if needed.
-
-
-
- HOW TO INSTALL CODE-A-LINE?
-
- You should have received Code-A-Line as a compressed archive file
- CODE.ZIP. You need PKUNZIP.EXE version 2.04g or newer to
- decompress and un-archive it. PKUNZIP can be downloaded from most
- public bulletin board systems.
-
- Create a temporary directory on your hard drive, or prepare a
- blank formatted diskette (at least 720K), where you would like to
- store the pre-installation (master) copy of Code-A-Line. Make
- this directory your default.
-
- Un-archive CODE.ZIP by issuing the following command at the DOS
- prompt:
-
- pkunzip code
-
- The files in CODE.ZIP will be unpacked and placed in the current
- directory. The program is NOT ready to run at this point. You
- have merely unpacked the archive used to distribute the master
- copy of the software.
-
- The next step is to install Code-A-Line from the master files. In
- the Program Manager, select Run from the File menu, then enter
- the full path to the Code-A-Line installation program SETUP.EXE
- in the Command Line box. Press OK to run the SETUP.EXE utility.
-
- Once Code-A-Line Setup is started you should select "First Time
- Installation" from its main menu, and the program will then lead
- you through the process.
-
-
-
- WHAT DOES SETUP DO?
-
- Setup copies and prepares the master files to be used by Code-A-
- Line. It will copy these files from the master directory and/or
- drive described in the previous section into the installation
- directory which you specify during the installation process. It
- is strongly recommended that the two are NOT the same directory,
- i.e. that you install Code-A-Line to a different directory from
- the one where the master files are stored (you may choose to
- store the master files in a separate diskette - this would then
- became your master installaion diskette).
-
- Code-A-Line Setup does NOT make any changes to WIN.INI,
- SYSTEM.INI, AUTOEXEC.BAT, or CONFIG.SYS. The only file Code-A-
- Line will place in your Windows directory when it is first run is
- the initialization file CODE.INI.
-
- Optionally, at your discretion, Setup creates a Program Manager
- group and installs Code-A-Line icons in it. You are prompted
- before this action takes place for a permission.
-
-
-
- HOW TO UNINSTALL CODE-A-LINE
-
-
- To remove the installed program and its support files:
-
- - Delete all files from the Code-A-Line installation directory
- that you specified when running Setup (be careful to backup any
- data files that you may have created there and want to preserve
- prior to issuing del *.*).
-
- - Delete CODE.INI from your Windows directory.
-
- - If you have asked SETUP to create a Program Manager group for
- Code-A-Line, delete this group inside the Program Manager
- (select Delete from the File menu while the group is minimized
- and selected).
-
-
- To further remove the master files:
-
- - If you have placed the master Code-A-Line files on your hard
- disk, remove these files, and the directory they are in.
-
- If you used a diskette to store the master files, discard the
- diskette.
-
- - These are all the steps that you need to undertake to
- completely remove Code-A-Line from your system.
