INSTALLATION
If you have downloaded this program from the Internet or a
BBS the
files will be contained in two .ZIP archive files. This is
done
for easier downloading, because the complete set of files
takes up
well over 1Mb. The files will be called ORIAxxxA.ZIP AND
ORIAxxxB.ZIP, where the xxx is the version number (i.e. 100
for
version 1.00). See the file FILES.LST for the contents of
these
two archives. These two ZIP files must first be unzipped,
either
to a single high-density disk or to a temporary directory
on your
hard disk, before beginning the installation process described
below.
The files that comprise Oriana are compressed on the distribution
disk. Note that they must be decompressed to work properly.
That means you cannot simply copy the files from the disk
to your
hard disk. An installation program is provided to decompress
the
files and place them in the appropriate place on the disk.
It is
best to use this program to ensure that Oriana is installed
correctly.
To run the installation program follow the following directions.
It is assumed that the disk will be in floppy disk drive
A:. If
you have the disk in a different drive simply substitute
the
appropriate drive letter.
1. Place the distribution disk in the floppy drive.
2. Do one of the following to start the installation program:
a) Choose the File command in Windows Program Manager and
click on the Run... option. Type 'a:install' in the dialog
box that will appear.
b) Using Windows File Manager, list the directory of the
A:
disk drive. Double click on the file 'install.exe'
3. From this point, simply follow the directions on screen.
You
will be asked several questions, including:
a) which directory to install the program to - you can install
the program to any directory on any hard disk on your system
b) which Program Manager group should contain the icon for
Oriana (if any)
UNINSTALLING
If you wish to remove Oriana from your system, there are several
files that can be deleted. First, all of the files in the
Oriana
directory can be deleted and the directory removed. These
files
will include ORIANAW.EXE (the main program file), ORIANAW.HLP
(the help file), and all files with the .ORI (data files),
.DSK
(desktop files) and .BAK (backup data files) extensions. The
configuration file named ORIANAW.INI, which will be located
in
your WINDOWS directory, can also be removed.
In addition, several files are installed to your WINDOWS\SYSTEM
directory. These are files that are used by Oriana but might
also be used by other programs on your computer. You must
be
careful that you do not delete these files if they are being
used
by another program. The file BWCC.DLL in particular is used
by
many other programs developed with Borland International's
development tools. It is probably best never to delete this
file.
Also in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory are the Graphics Server
files (GSW.EXE and GSWDLL.DLL), which might be used by other
programs that create graphs, and the Drover's Professional
Toolbox files (TBPROxW.DLL, where the 'x' is a single numeral).
You can remove these if you are certain there are no other
programs that use them. It might be wise to move these to
a
separate directory for a few days so that you can easily
move
them back if one of your other programs stops working.
