R a n e W a r e
We worked diligently for quite awhile to
make RaneWare as effective and intuitive as we
could. Our goal was (and is) to provide you with
software that is easy to use, doesn’t cost you an
“arm and a leg” (how about no charge), and
makes our product so natural for you that you
just can’t wait to use it again and again!
• RaneWare 232 works under Windows 3.1 or
Windows 95
®
, on a PC or laptop. It also
succesfully tested with a Power Macintosh
®
running SoftWindows
™
version 2.0.
• RaneWare 232 needs a fully wired DB9 cable
less than 50' long, connecting from the serial port
of a computer to the RPE 228 communications
input port. No interface boxes are required; just a
cable and your computer.
• RaneWare 232 can be fully demonstrated and
used without an actual RPE 228 attached.
• A RaneWare 3½" floppy comes with each unit.
Installation is simple, with instructions on the
disk label. The latest version is downloadable 24
hours a day from Rane’s Internet web site,
http://www.rane.com.
• A generous Help screen is included online with
the RaneWare 232 software; mucho pages of
text, but oh, so easy to navigate.
• The software is so easy to use, so intuitive,
you’ll wonder why someone else didn’t do it
earlier.
Software
Step by Step Installation. If you have the
RaneWare 3.5" floppy disk, insert it in your
drive. In Windows 3.1 Program Manager, under
File
, select
Run
. On the command line, type
A:\install
. Click
OK
. This starts installation. In
Windows 95, use
Add/Remove Programs
in
the
Control Panel
.
Starting RaneWare. A RaneWare program
group is now created. When the software is first
installed, the Help screen appears. Here any
questions can get answered. Subsequent activa-
tion does not bring up the Help screen until you
ask for it. But let’s get on with the program.
Close the Help file, and welcome to RaneWare!
If you downloaded RaneWare from the web,
decompress the file first. Create a new directory
named
RANEWARE
, and move the
RW232***.EXE
file to this new directory. Now
run this file, and all the separate files will de-
compress. Locate
INSTALL.EXE
, click
OK
.
Installation now proceeds, as this screen verifies
file locations.
