Installation

NOTE!
  If you downloaded this package from the Internet, please 
  read this paragraph very carefully: A file called 
  VBRUN300.DLL needs to be installed on your computer before
  SETUP is run. To save space, this file was not included 
  in this package. Please check your SYSTEM directory 
  (usually C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM) to see if you already have this
  file (this is very likely). If not then download, unzip and 
  copy the file to the SYSTEM directory. It is very important
  that you do this before SETUP is run!

  VBRUN300.DLL is available from most file servers, 
  including:
       
  ftp.cdrom.com/.1/simtelnet/win3/dll/vbrun300.zip
  ftp.ftp.hkstar.com/.2/simtelnet/win3/dll/vbrun300.zip
  ftp.demon.co.uk/.d5/simtelnet/win3/dll/vbrun300.zip
  ftp.uni-paderborn.de/ftp/disk1/SimTel/win3/dll/vbrun300.zip
  ftp.bitcon.no/pub/simtelnet/win3/dll/vbrun300.zip

To install CATraxx, follow these steps:

From Diskette

  1. Insert diskette number 1 into your diskette drive.
  
  2. If you are running Microsoft Windows 3.1, from the Program 
     Manager File menu choose Run.
     
     If you are running Microsoft Windows 95, from the Start 
     menu choose Run.

  3. In the text box, type the path to the installation program, 
     for example A:\SETUP, and choose OK.

  4. When requested, specify the directory where you want to 
     install CATraxx. Unless you specify a different directory 
     the application will be installed in C:\CATRAXX.

  5. Choose OK to start the installation process.

From Hard Disk

  1. Ensure that all CATraxx installation files are in the 
     same directory, for example C:\CATTEMP.

  2. If you are running Microsoft Windows 3.1, from the Program 
     Manager File menu choose Run.

     If you are running Microsoft Windows 95, from the Start 
     menu choose Run.

  3. In the text box, type the name of the drive and directory 
     where the installation files are located, then type \SETUP 
     (for example C:\CATTEMP\SETUP) and choose OK.

  4. When requested, specify the directory where you want to 
     install CATraxx. Unless you specify a different directory 
     the application will be installed in C:\CATRAXX.

  5. Choose OK to start the installation process. 

If you have any problems with the installation, you may
install files manually by following this procedure:

  1. Start a "DOS-window" (In Program Manager double-click 
     on the MS-DOS icon).
  2. What you type at the DOS prompt depends on the file
     you want to install. For example, if you want to install
     THREED.VBX, follow these steps:

     - Insert the correct diskette (in this case diskette
       no. 1) into you diskette drive.
    
     - Type this command (you may need to substitute A for
       the letter of your diskette drive, for example B)
      
         EXPAND A:\THREED.VB_ C:\CATRAXX\THREED.VBX  <Enter>

       THREED.VBX is unpacked and copied to the program
       directory.

     Normally, files with the extension VBX or DLL should be 
     installed in the SYSTEM directory (usually 
     C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM). Do not copy files to this directory 
     yourself. If, however, you do, please make a copy of the 
     original file first. You might overwrite a newer version, 
     and as a result some other application might not work.
