SOFTWARE OPERATION
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
.
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 decompress. Locate
INSTALL.EXE
, click
OK
. Installation now proceeds as file
locations are verified.
Starting RaneWare
A RaneWare program group is now created, containing
RaneWare, the RaneWare Address Calculator, and RaneWare
Help. When the software is first installed, RaneWare Help
appears. Here any questions can get answered. Subsequent
activation does not bring up RaneWare Help until you ask for
it. But let’s get on with the program. Close the Help file, and
welcome to RaneWare!
