REGISTRATION & SUPPORT Please refer to the VINO:FILE manual (VINOFILE.TXT) and the registration form VINOFILE.REG for details of the Shareware License and how to register VINO:FILE. INSTALLING VINO:FILE VINO:FILE is distributed on two DS-DD 5.25" disks or one DS-DD 3.5" diskette. To install the VINO:FILE Cellar Master program from floppy disks: * make a copy of the VINO:FILE disk(s) before installing; * place Disk 1 in your floppy disk drive; * run the install procedure by typing 'A:INSTALL' assuming that your floppy disk is drive A. To install the VINO:FILE Cellar Master program MANUALLY from floppy disks (if the above does not work): * make a copy of the VINO:FILE disk(s) before installing; * place Disk 1 in your floppy disk drive; * perform the install procedure by typing C: MD C:\VINOFILE CD C:\VINOFILE A:LHA e A:VF1 * if you are using 5.25" disks place Disk 2 in your disk drive, otherwise leave Disk 1. Then type A:LHA e A:VF2 COPY A:VINOREAD.ME C:\VINOFILE assuming that your floppy disk is drive A. To install the VINO:FILE Cellar Master program (Shareware Version) from a BBS archive: * make a directory for VINO:FILE on your hard disk drive; * place BOTH archived VINO:FILE files in that directory; * unarchive the files using UNPAK (.ARC), UNZIP (.ZIP) or LHA (.LZH) etc depending on the archive version used on the BBS; * delete the archives. STARTING VINO:FILE WITH THE SAMPLE DATABASE VINO:FILE comes with a sample wine database and cross reference file so that you can get a feel for the program as soon as you have installed it on your hard drive. To start VINO:FILE and load up the samples change to the directory on your hard disk where you installed VINO:FILE and type: VF SAMPLE PRINTING THE VINO:FILE MANUAL To print the documentation on almost any printer type COPY VINOFILE.TXT LPT1: You will find that the formatting and pagination of the on-disk manual occasionally looks a little odd. This is because the formatting is optimized for the printed manual which you will receive when you register. I apologize for this, but if you register I think you will agree that it was worth it. LHA DECOMPRESSION PROGRAM When distributed on diskette, VINO:FILE files are compressed using the shareware program LHA - a copy of which is included on the diskette. Mark Christian CIS ID [70032,117]
