Installation instructions for GoldPack programs.

The Goldpack programs use SQL-Net to communicate with Oracle.  SQL-Net 
must be installed on the machine prior to using any of the Goldpack 
programs.

Installing a Goldpack program involves placing it into a directory and 
then making an icon for it in program manager or the start menu in 
Win95.  The Goldpack programs all use the Oracle Call Interface built 
into SQL-Net to communicate with Oracle.  No other interface is 
required.

Troubleshooting SQL-Net:  Oracle includes a program called nettest.exe 
or oraping.exe with SQL-Net to test your installation.  If you have any 
problems connecting to Oracle with a Goldpack program, use nettest or 
oraping to make sure that your SQL-Net installation is working.  

The pledit .zip package contains the following files:

  install.txt	This file.
  license.txt   The license file.
  register.txt	Information about registering.
  pledit.exe    The pledit executable.
  pledit.hlp    The help file.

You must have the 16 bit Oracle SQLNet client installed to run pledit.  
pledit links directly to the SQLNet via the Oracle Call Interface (no 
ODBC.)

Copy pledit.exe and pledit.hlp to any directory on your hard drive (I 
usually put them in c:\orawin\bin.) Orawin/bin must be in your path 
(this is part of the SQLNet install.)

Make an icon for pledit.exe.

That's it!

You must read and agree to the License.txt file before using this 
program.

Please enjoy PLEdit and write me if you have any questions or comments.  
Please register if you use it after 30 days!

Thanks,
