Creating Install Disks for the Price Guide                12/05/96


On the CD-ROM , there are disk images for copying the Price Guide application   to four formatted  
1.44MB floppy disks. You will need  four empty formatted  floppies.  These installation disks will 
let you run the Price Guide without  the CD-ROM.  

Go to the MACD directory on the CD-ROM to find the directories for the disk images disk1..disk4. 
Copy the contents of each disk image to your floppy.  Do not copy the disk image directory,
just the contents of the directory. Hence, the  install files will be located off  the root of the
floppy. Be sure to label each of  your floppies so you know which disk number they are in the installation.  

To use the Install disks, insert  disk 1 into your floppy drive and run the  SETUP.EXE from File Manager
or Windows Explorer. The setup routine will prompt you for the other disks.  
   

                                        CREATING PROFILE DISK  


Once the Price Guide application is installed on  your computer, you will need to  create the catalog to your
computer's hard drive. 

If the computer you installed the Price Guide  to  has a CD-ROM drive, then you will need the Price Guide
CD-ROM to create the catalog. Once the catalog is created, you won't need the CD-ROM to view the catalog prices. 
However, without the CD-ROM in your computer, you will not be able to view the product information, ADDITIONAL INFO,
and README contents.

If the computer you installed the Price Guide to does not have a CD-ROM drive, then you will need to create
a floppy with your pricing . Follow the steps below to  create a floppy  with pricing.   


****************************************************************************************************************	
NOTE: The steps below must be followed on a computer using the CD-ROM. You must run the application from the CD 
      not, the hard drive.      
****************************************************************************************************************

1.)  From the main screen of the application, click on the button: CREATE  PROFILE DISK. You will be prompted 
     for a PIN and install drive for your floppy. Make sure your Power Disk CD-ROM is in the drive.  

2.)  Enter your PIN and change the install drive letter if it is other than the  "A" drive.  Make sure you 
     have  an empty formatted floppy inserted into your drive. Click on the OK button. 
     The application will copy your pricing profile from the CD-ROM to your floppy 
      if you've entered the correct PIN.
