README.TXT
June 24, 1992
This is the README.TXT file distributed with Almanac for
Windows 3.0. Topics discussed in this file are:
- Registration
- Legal matters
- Compatibility
- Updating a previous Almanac installation
- INSTALLING ALMANAC 3.0
- Software license & Limited warranty
REGISTRATION
------------
Almanac is not free software. It is released as
shareware, which provides the opportunity for the
program to be evaluated before it is purchased.
We hope that after you try Almanac you will like
it so much that you will want to register. By
doing so you are voting with your pocketbook for
us to continue developing high-quality, Windows
shareware.
Complete information on how to register Almanac
is included in the REGISTER.TXT file.
LEGAL MATTERS
-------------
We are not responsible for anything at all. Nothing.
Even if we are held responsible, the limit of our
liability is the licensing fees you paid. The full text
of our license agreement is found near the bottom of
this file.
COMPATIBILITY
-------------
If you are running a version of Almanac earlier than
3.0, please be advised that the format of the desktop
data files has been changed. Notes and appointments
entered in Almanac 1.0 through 1.04 (*.ALD files)
will require translation to the new data base format.
Refer to the XLATEALD.TXT file for instructions on
how to convert these data files using XLATEALD.EXE.
Overlays created with earlier versions of Almanac
(*.ALO files) are 100% compatible with Almanac 3.0.
The wedding anniversary gifts are now optional.
You may edit any wedding anniversary definitions
created with pre-3.0 versions and and check the
Wedding check box to display this information.
UPDATING A PREVIOUS ALMANAC INSTALLATION
----------------------------------------
If you are updating a 3.0 Almanac installation, you may
want to de-select one or more of the installation
options. The following table explains what files will
be copied to your hard disk for each option:
Program Files: Copies the executable program file
and supporting modules. This option
should be selected when installing
or upgrading your Almanac program.
Default Calendar: Copies the DEFAULT.ALC calendar file
used by Almanac on start-up. Also
copies the ALMLOCN.DAT file that
contains location and time zone
information for various cities.
Sample Overlays: Copies the sample overlays files
included with the Almanac release.
Online Help Files: Copies online help files that can be
accessed from Almanac's Help menu.
INSTALLING ALMANAC 3.0
----------------------
The Almanac package includes a graphical Windows
installation program using the standard name of SETUP.EXE.
You should place all of the files included in the release
package on a floppy disk or in a temporary directory of
your hard drive.
SETUP requires about 600K bytes to complete the
installation of Almanac. Once installed, the Almanac
files will occupy approximately 400K.
Run SETUP by selecting the 'Run...' command from the
File menu of Program Manager or File Manager.
Enter "d:\SETUP" as the Command Line, where "d" is the
drive/directory that you are installing Almanac FROM
(for example, A:\SETUP).
1. The first action performed by SETUP is to display the
date your computer is set to. Almanac's calendar
will not operate correctly if your computer is not set
to the correct date.
2. SETUP will prompt for the target directory you would like
to install Almanac to on your hard disk. Accept the
default or enter a directory of your choice.
3. SETUP will then display a dialog of the components that
can be installed. You should leave all of the boxes
checked if this is a first time installation.
4. If you are using Program Manager as your Windows shell,
SETUP will allow a Program Manager group to be selected
to receive the startup icon for Almanac.
SETUP will inform you when installation is complete, and
direct you to the WHATSNEW.TXT and REGISTER.TXT files.
IF SETUP REPORTS PROBLEMS UPDATING COMMDLG:
1) Exit Windows and restart Windows to insure a clean
system.
2) Hold down the SHIFT key while Windows is initial-
izing. This will prevent Windows from launching
any other applications after Program Manager.
3) Do NOT use the Browse function to start SETUP.
Doing so will invoke the COMMDLG module and
prevent SETUP from completing the installation.
