Installation instructions for 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 and other Oracle products (Personal Oracle) to communicate
with Oracle.  No other interface is required.

Communications with the OCI are done through a dynamic link library file
supplied by Oracle.  The Goldpack programs search for this file in your
path as follows:

16 bit Goldpack programs search for the following files and will stop when
they find one:

	ora73win.dll
	ora72win.dll
	ora71win.dll
	ora7win.dll

32 bit Goldpack programs search for the file 'OCIW32.DLL'

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

The pled32xx.zip package contains the following files:

  install.txt	This file.
  license.txt   The license file.
  register.txt	Information about registering.
  PLEdit32.exe  The Golden executable.
  PLEdit.hlp    The help file.

Copy PLEdit32.exe and PLEdit.hlp to any directory on your hard drive (I 
usually put them in c:\oraxxx\bin.) Oraxxx\bin must be in your path 
(this is part of the SQLNet install.)

Make an icon for PLEdit32.exe.

That's it!

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

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

Thanks,
