INSTALLING ECOMASTER
--------------------
Installing EcoMaster is easy, but the specific process will vary
depending on how you received your copy of EcoMaster. Two examples are
given below. The first is for copying from a floppy disk or CD-ROM.
The second is for a ZIP file downloaded from a bulletin board system
(BBS).
--------------------------
From a diskette or CD-ROM:
--------------------------
First, create a directory for the EcoMaster files:
Using the MS-DOS Prompt Using File Manager
----------------------- ------------------
Type MD\ECO Click on the root directory (C:\)
Press [Enter] Click on File
Click on Create Directory
Type ECO
Press [Enter]
Next, copy the EcoMaster files to the newly created directory.
Using the MS-DOS Prompt Using File Manager
----------------------- ------------------
C: [ENTER] Make sure you have two windows visible in File
CD\ECO [ENTER] Manager. If not, click on Window, then
COPY A:\*.* C: [ENTER] New Window.
In one window, click on the ECO directory

directory of the CD-ROM Click on the first file in the source direct-
for the A:\) ory, then press the SHIFT key and while
holding it down click on the last file in
the source directory. All files in that
directory will now be highlighted.
Click again on any of the highlighted files
but DO NOT RELEASE THE MOUSE BUTTON. You
can now "drag" the files to the ECO
directory in the other window by moving
the mouse cursor to the ECO directory.
Once the mouse cursor is over the ECO
directory, release the mouse button. This
will copy all the highlighted files to the
ECO directory.
Finally, install the EcoMaster icon on your Program Manager display.
Method 1 Method 2 (the easy way)
-------- -----------------------
Using either keyboard or In File Manager, click on ECO.EXE in the
mouse, switch to the program ECO directory. DO NOT RELEASE THE MOUSE

EcoMaster in (usually "GAMES"), Program Manager program group you want
then click on: to install EcoMaster in (usually "GAMES"),
File then release the mouse button. The
New EcoMastericon will appear in Program
Program Item Manager.
[OK]
Command Line is:
C:\ECO\ECO.EXE
Then click on [OK]. (You can
leave the other lines empty)
------------------
From a ZIP'd file:
------------------
For the novice user, it's easiest to "unzip" and install EcoMaster from t
he
MS-DOS prompt (if you are an experienced user, you probably aren't readin
g
these instructions, anyway, so we're going to ignore you for the time
being).
Please note that un-Zipping a file requires a copy of PKUNZIP.EXE, which
is
available on virtually all bulletin boards and online services such as Ge
nie
and CompuServe.
First, create a directory for the EcoMaster files. At the MS-DOS prompt,
type
"MD\ECO" (without the quote marks), and press [Enter]. Next, switch to
this new ECO directory by typing "CD\ECO" and pressing [Enter].
Next, unzip ECO.ZIP into the newly created directory. As an example, if
the ECO.ZIP file is in the directory C:\DOWNLOAD, then type:
PKUNZIP C:\DOWNLOAD\ECO.ZIP
Assuming you are in ECO directory, all the EcoMaster files will be unzipp
ed
there (If that's not where you are, no telling where they will end up. Ma
ke
sure you type CD\ECO before this step).
(By the way, once you have unzipped EcoMaster you can delete the ECO.ZIP
file if you want. You won't be needing it anymore.)
Now that the EcoMaster files are properly located on your computer, all y
ou
need to do is install the EcoMaster icon on your Program Manager display.
Return to Windows and:
Method 1 Method 2 (the easy way)
-------- -----------------------
Using either keyboard or In File Manager, click on ECO.EXE in the
mouse, switch to the program ECO directory. DO NOT RELEASE THE MOUSE
group you want to install button. "Drag" the mouse cursor to the
EcoMaster in (usually "GAMES"), Program Manager program group you want
to
then click on: install EcoMaster in (usually "GAMES"),
File then release the mouse button. The
New EcoMaster icon will appear in Program Manager.

Command Line is:

Then click on [OK]. (You can
leave the other lines empty)
ABOUT VBRUN300.DLL
------------------
All MS Visual Basic 3.0 programs require the use of a library file called
VBRUN300.DLL. This includes EcoMaster. Depending on how you received this
copy of EcoMaster you may or may not have received VBRUN300.DLL.
If you DID receive VBRUN300.DLL with EcoMaster:
-----------------------------------------------
You may not need it. Check your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory to see if a copy
is already there. If so, then you can delete the copy that came with EcoM
aster.
If not, you need VBRUN300.DLL either in that directory or in the ECO
directory. We recommend that you place it in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory
so that all programs can share it, thus meaning you only need one copy on
your computer.
If you DID NOT receive VBRUN300.DLL with EcoMaster:
---------------------------------------------------
You may not need it. Check your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory to see if a copy
is already there. If so, then you are set -- you don't need another copy.
On the other hand, if there is NOT a copy already on your system then
you need to get a copy (by the way, we apologize for not including it, bu
t
most BBS's and information services prefer that we don't. Otherwise,
there would be thousands of duplicate copies of this file included with
other programs, taking up disk space better used for other things). Like
PKUNZIP, copies are available free on most BBS's and information services
like CompuServe and Genie. If you got EcoMaster off a CD-ROM, there is
probably a copy available somewhere on that CD.
