- GFile 2.2A Installation/Removal Instructions
- ===========================================
-
- Note - If you have not read the file REGISTER.DOC, please do so now. It
- contains particular license terms and warranty information that
- you are implicitly agreeing to by using this program.
-
- Important note for users of earlier versions of GFile -
- This installation procedure varies greatly from earlier versions.
- Be sure to follow the instructions detailed below. Also, running
- GFile 2.2A as the shell is not a simple matter of setting the shell=
- parameter in system.ini. Be sure that the older version of GFile
- is not configured as the shell, and that is NOT running - either
- stand alone or as the shell program - before commencing installation.
- Also, this version of GFile will change the format of a couple of
- parameters in GFILE.INI. If you anticipate 'back-reving' you may
- want to backup your old GFILE.INI file.
-
- System Requirements
- ===================
-
- To run GFile 2.2A you must be running Windows 3.1+. GFile will not start
- if you attempt to run it on a 3.0 or earlier version of Windows. It will
- check for the following 3.1 specific DLL files. These libraries must be
- present for GFile to function. They are normally installed as part of 3.1 in
- the windows\system directory. If GFile fails to run, be sure they haven't
- been accidently deleted.
- shell.dll
- toolhelp.dll
- ddeml.dll
-
- Further, the following DLL files are required for the installation program
- to run:
- ver.dll
- lzexpand.dll
-
- To install GFile you must have 800,000 free bytes on the drive on which
- GFile will be installed, and 700,000 free bytes on your system disk for
- a temporary directory created (and later deleted) by the installation
- program.
-
- To install GFile:
- =================
- 0. If you received GFile in an archived format (zip most likely),
- unarchive it to a high density floppy or a directory on your hard/ram
- disk.
-
- 1. Determine the directory in which you wish to place the GFile files.
- The default is a directory named GFile under your Windows directory,
- but it can be any directory you choose. Please put GFile in its own
- directory - it makes removing it much easier.
-
- 2. Start Windows (if not already running), and using Program Manager run
- the setup program (setup.exe) that is part of the GFile release. The
- only thing the program asks is the full path of the directory you
- decided on in step 1.
-
- 3. A program group named GFile will be created, GFile and notepad entries
- for the documentation files will be added as program items to the group.
- After installation, you can move GFile to a more convenient group,
- and after reading/printing the documentation files, delete their program
- items and the group if you wish.
-
- 4. If you wish to run GFile as your shell, please carefully follow the
- directions in the GFile help file. DO NOT set shell=gfile.exe in
- system.ini - GFile will not function properly if you do!
-
-
- To remove GFile:
- ================
-
- 1. BE SURE WINDOWS IS NOT CONFIGURED TO RUN GFILE AS THE SHELL!!! If
- necessary, use GFile's 'Set Shell' menu selection to set Program Manager
- (or another shell program) as the shell.
-
- 2. Delete any GFile or GFile documentation program items/groups
-
- 3. Delete the contents of the GFile directory, and the directory itself.
-
- 4. In your Windows directory, delete GFILE.INI and GFILECMD.PIF. GFile does
- not create its own area in WIN.INI or SYSTEM.INI. Thus, no clean up of
- these files is necessary.
