- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- This package contains CompuSlave For Windows (TM) by Stevenson Technical
- Services, Inc. (STSI). This document contains only a brief description
- of the package and its features, along with instructions for its
- installation. Quite detailed documentation is included in the package,
- but it is in archived form, and is more easily read after installation.
-
- CompuSlave is a program designed to import CompuServe forum capture
- files into a database, converting them to individual messages. Add,
- delete, edit, and search the entire database for key words or phrases.
- Make those messages work for you! Create your own technical support
- resource. CompuSlave is ideal for power users, programmers, and network
- administrators. Network support is included.
-
- CompuSlave is a shareware program. You may use it for up to 2 weeks,
- without charge (see CSLAVEW.DOC for more details). If you like the
- program, and wish to continue its use after this evaluation period, you
- are required to pay for the program (see REGISTER.DOC for more details).
- Any fee you may have paid to others (disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to
- obtain this evaluation version was a fee for their copying and
- distribution services, rather than a payment for continued use of the
- program.

- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- To install CompuSlave For Windows, follow these instructions:
-
- The package includes a program, "SETUP.EXE", which automates the
- installation process. You will need about 3 megabytes of available disk
- space on the hard drive on which you plan to install CompuSlave For
- Windows. Additional space will be required for each database you create.
- The amount of space required for databases depends completely on the
- number of messages that will be stored in the database.
-
- The exact steps you need to take to install CompuSlave will depend on how
- you received the program.
-
-
- Installing From Diskettes
-
- To install from diskette, you need to perform the following steps.
-
- 1. Place the CompuSlave distribution diskette "Disk 1" in the appropriate
- diskette drive.
-
- 2. From Program Manager, select File Run. Execute the "setup.exe" program
- on the distribution diskette. For example, if the distribution diskette
- is on drive A:, type the command, "a:setup".
-
- 3. Follow the instructions presented by the setup program. You will have
- a chance to approve installation before any changes are actually made to
- the contents of your hard drive. The program will ask you for a
- destination directory, and will copy the program files to that directory.
- When the setup program has finished installing files, you will be
- informed if the installation was successful.
-
-
-
- Installing From A Hard Drive
-
- If you downloaded CompuSlave For Windows from a BBS (or received it in
- the form of an archive file from some other source), you will need to
- perform the following steps.
-
-
- 1. Extract the contents of the archive file into a temporary directory on
- your hard drive.
-
- 2. From Program Manager, select File, Run. Execute the "setup.exe"
- program, which you have extracted. For example, if the temporary
- directory into which you have extracted the files is C:\TEMPDIR, you
- would type the command, "c:\tempdir\setup".
-
- 3. Follow the instructions presented by the installation program. You
- will have a chance to approve installation before any changes are
- actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The installation
- program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy the
- program files to that directory.
-
- When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
- delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed the program,
- (C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
