- A. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-
- WISDOM OF THE AGES for Windows will work with any IBM or compatible PC
- running Windows 3.1 or Win 95 with a VGA graphics card and hard disk drive
- with about 6.6 megabytes of free disk space. (An extra 1.5 megabytes is
- temporarily needed for installation.)
-
-
- B. INSTALLATION OVERVIEW FOR A BBS DOWNLOAD
-
- Before you can use WISDOM OF THE AGES for Windows you have to run the SETUP
- program from Window's Program Manager so it will work properly on your
- computer. YOU CANNOT JUST COPY THE UNZIPPED FILES TO A DIRECTORY ON YOUR
- HARD DISK. WIS_PAK.EXE is a self extracting archive. The SETUP program
- will expand it; put files in their correct places; and optionally create a
- Windows Program Group.
-
-
- C. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
-
- Although the program can be installed to any Target Directory on any Hard
- Disk Drive, the instructions below assume that you are using the default
- values of:
-
- Hard Disk Drive: C:
- Source Directory: \DOWNLOAD (Where the UnZipped Files are Located.)
- Target Directory \WISDOM25
-
- If you use different values modify the instructions accordingly.
-
- We suggest that you Move WISWIN25.ZIP to a floppy disk and save it as your
- backup copy before proceeding.
-
- 1. The installation process is started by running SETUP. Since SETUP is a
- Windows application, you must start Windows (if you haven't already done
- so), then
- Windows 3.1 Users - select Files|Run from Program Manager's menu.
- Windows 95 Users - select Start|Run.
- In the provided text box type C:\DOWNLOAD\SETUP and click <OK>.*
- (* Where "DOWNLOAD" is the name of the directory containing the UnZipped files from
- files from WISWIN25.ZIP.)
-
- 2. SETUP assumes you will install to C:\WISDOM25. You will be given the
- opportunity to change this assumption. SETUP will also ask your
- permission to create a WISDOM Program Group and populate it with group
- files. Unless you'd prefer to do this yourself, we'd suggest you answer
- "Yes." **
-
- 3. The entire SETUP procedure takes about four minutes. Much of that time
- will be spent unpacking compressed files. When SETUP is done, there
- will be about a six second delay when nothing seems to be happening, and
- then WISDOM OF THE AGES will start to run.
-
- 4. After the program has run, you can delete all the WISWIN files NOT in
- the target directory, such as WISWIN25.ZIP and WIS_PAK.EXE.
-
-
- ** Please wait three seconds before answering "Yes." This dialog
- will briefly flash on the screen before the files have been
- unpacked - Windows 95 users will hear a sound when this happens.
- Some 386 owners, with quick reflexes, have managed to answer "Yes"
- before the files have been unpacked. If you wait three seconds,
- you're sure to answer "Yes" at the right time.
