CONTACT PLUS SHAREWARE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Welcome to the Contact Plus 2.17 shareware program. This brief file
is intended to show you how to install Contact Plus on your hard disk.
The enclosed file CPLUS217.EXE is self-extracting, that is, the program
and data files are compressed into the file CPLUS217.EXE to save disk space.
When you run the CPLUS217.EXE program, the following files will be created:
C.HLP - Contact Help file (help messages displayed when F1 is pressed)
CBACKUP.BAT - Backup batch file using the PKZIP command
CBACKUP.XXX - Backup batch file using the COPY command only
CONTACT.1 - sample mail/merge file
CONTACT.2 - sample mail/merge file
CONTACT.3 - sample mail/merge file

CONTACT.FRM - sample letter template
CONTACT.DT - actual Contact Plus data file
CONTACT.HDR - Contact Plus parameters (screen colors, printer type, etc.)
CONTACT.NOT - Contact Plus notefile
CONTACT.NT0 - Contact Plus notefile index file
CONTACT.NX0 - Contact Plus index file
CONTACT.NX1 - Contact Plus index file
CONTACT.NX2 - Contact Plus index file

MSDEMO.EXE - Screen demo of MicroStar (not an actual working program)
C.EXE - Contact Plus program
READ.ME - Contact Plus Instructions
README.1ST - This file
INVOICE.DOC - Invoice for registration
We suggest that you install using the following steps:
1) Create a directory on your hard disk called \CONTACT using
the "make directory" command. Type MKDIR \CONTACT then press ENTER.
2) Change to the \CONTACT directory using the "change directory"
command. Type CD \CONTACT then press ENTER.
3) Extract the Contact Plus program. Type CPLUS217 then press ENTER.
The Contact Plus files will be extracted and the screen will look
something like the following:

4) Print out the instruction file READ.ME. First make sure that your
printer is online and ready then type COPY READ.ME PRN.
The instruction file will be printed out.
5) If you have the PKZIP.EXE program available, Contact Plus will take
advantage of that when backing up the Contact Plus database. In
this case simply answer 'Y' when exiting the system and you are
prompted to backup the database
If you don't have PKZIP.EXE, issue the following command from
the /CONTACT directory:
COPY CBACKUP.XXX CBACKUP.BAT
The PKZIP command will NOT be used to make a backup copy of the database.
You really ought to get a registered copy of PKZIP ... its very handy
and can be used to backup other programs and databases as well.
6) To run Contact Plus, simply enter C then press ENTER.
You are on your way. If you have any questions, call us during
