===== Installation =====================================
The installation procedure for Doghouse is quite simple. The
package includes a program, "INSTALL.EXE", which automates the
entire process. You will need about 315K of available disk space
on the hard drive on which you plan to install Doghouse.
The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
Doghouse.
INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
o Place Doghouse distribution diskette in the appropriate
diskette drive.
o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program on the distribution diskette.
For example, from Windows 3.1+ Program Manager, select
File | Run | A:\INSTALL (Windows 95: Start | Run | A:\INSTALL)
o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
the Doghouse files to that directory. Doghouse installation will
specifically, it will not modify your autoexec.bat or config.sys,
win.ini or any other initialisation files.
INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
If you downloaded Doghouse from a BBS (or received it in the form of
archive files from some other source), you will need to perform the
following steps.
o Extract the contents of the archive file(s) in a temporary
directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this
varies, depending on the form in which you received the package.
In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means
that you already have the necessary tools and knowledge to
perform this step. If not, you should be able to obtain
directions for this from the same source from which you received
the package.
o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program which you have extracted. For
example, if the temporary directory into which you have extracted
the Doghouse is C:\TEMP then from Program Manager, select File |
Run | C:\TEMP\INSTALL
o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
the Doghouse files to that directory. If you so direct it, the
installation program will install executable programs and
documentation in other directories of your choice. It will make
no other changes; specifically, it will not modify your win.ini,
autoexec.bat or config.sys files.
When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed Doghouse
(C:\TEMP, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
YOU'RE READY TO GO
Once you've complete the installation, you should click the Doghouse
Icon in the group on the desktop, and select the "I'm new!" buttons. The
product is simple to use and quite intuitive, enjoy!
