DSCAN dialog boxes.

INSTALLATION:

If you received DSCAN-The Executive Bilingual Assistant via the network:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The installation of DSCAN-The Executive Bilingual Assistant is done in 4 easy steps:
To execute these batch files, from the file manager double click on the corresponding file names.

1) Create the home directory for dscan: c:\dscan.
2) Copy dscan1a.exe in c:\dscan and double click on it to extract the files into the c:\dscan directory.
3) Copy dscan1b.exe in c:\dscan and double click on it to extract the files into the c:\dscan directory.
4) Load the Database by executing (double click on it) c:\dscan\loadata.bat.

If you received 2 diskettes:
----------------------------
The installation of DSCAN-The Executive Bilingual Assistant is done in 3 easy steps:

1) With disk1 in drive A, open the file manager and double click on insdisk1.bat to unzip the files
from dscan1a.exe into the c:\dscan directory.
2) With disk2 in drive A, from the file manager and double click on insdisk2.bat to unzip the files
from dscan1b.exe into the c:\dscan directory.
3) From the file manager load the Database by executing (double click on it) c:\dscan\loadata.bat.

Once the extraction of the c:\dscan\nucleus and other sub-directories is ended, close the DOS window.

Test DSCAN by executing it c:\dscan\dscan.exe from the file manager.
Test DSCAN Sub Module by executing c:\dscan\verb.hlp from the file manager.
Test DSCAN Sub Module by executing c:\dscan\poems.hlp from the file manager.
Test DSCAN Sub Module by executing c:\dscan\translat.hlp from the file manager.

DO NOT DOUBLE CLICK ON DATA.EXE.  THIS WILL EXTRACT THE FILES IN THE DSCAN DIRECTORY,
NOT IN THE SUB-DIRECORIES.
If this happens, just remove all the files in the c:\dscan directory that are also in the
c:\dscan\nucleus directory.

No mess on your machine.
If you like it, create the program group and its icons depending of the version of
Windows you are using.  If you don't, remove the c:\dscan directory.  No other files
are placed anywhere else.  DSCAN is compact, clean and independent. 

The Program group to create is:
DSCAN French Module
The 6 icons to be created are:
the file c:\dscan\dscan.exe  proposed name: DSCAN E-F
the file c:\dscan\cleandb.exe proposed name: TOOL - DB Cleaner
the file c:\dscan\dscan.hlp proposed name: Online Help
the file c:\dscan\verb.hlp proposed name: Online verbs
the file c:\dscan\poems.hlp proposed name: Samples and Poems
the file c:\dscan\tranlsat.hlp proposed name: Rule & Conversions
the file c:\dscan\loadata.bat proposed name: Load Data & DB

If you do not need some of these modules, do not create the associated icons.

You can move the dscan directory and its subdirectories on any drive or under any
directory of your choice.
