INSTALLATION NOTES PRIVATE SECRETARY(tm) FOR WINDOWS ================================= Private Secretary can be installed from DOS or from Windows. If you choose to load from DOS, you must quit Windows. Setup will not run from the DOS shell of Windows. Each step is described for both DOS and Windows, where there is a difference. The instructions assume you are installing from a diskette in drive B: and your windows directory is on drive C:. If this is not the case, simply substitute the correct drive specification where required. ----------------------------------- STEP 1 (diskette install only) Insert the diskette into your floppy drive. STEP 2 WINDOWS: Select RUN from the program managers FILE menu. DOS: At the DOS prompt, change the current drive to the drive in which you have the diskette. For example, if you have the diskette in your B drive, type B: If you have the Private Secretary files on hard disk, change to the directory the files are in (example: cd C:\DOWNLOAD). STEP 3 WINDOWS: Type B:\SETUP (or alternate floppy or complete pathname if installing from hard disk) in the command field of the dialog box or locate the setup program on the diskette or hard drive with the browse button. Then click on OK. DOS: Type WIN SETUP. STEP 4 The setup program will initialize, decompressing the files required to complete installation and then ask for a directory in which to install Private Secretary. If you have an earlier version of Private Secretary, to save having to reenter all your settings, you should install this version in the same directory. The new version will use your existing settings files and they will still be useable by your previous version if ever needed. Installation is complete - To start Private Secretary, double click the Private Secretary 303 program Icon. ----------------- Using the Log File Private Secretary creates a program item for the log file (PS_LOG.TXT) in the Program Group using a generic icon.

Launch the Windows File Manager and locate your PS_LOG.TXT file, click on it to select it. Then pull down the File menu and select Associate. You can select "notepad.exe" or "write.exe" or a text processor of your choice.

Once you've made your selection, Click OK and exit the File Manager. If you would like to change the Icon for your Log File, click on the Log File icon to select it, then select the Properties item under the Program Managers File menu. Click the Change Icon button.
