NOTE: This is a page taken from the manual (file: MANUAL.TXT). It is
placed here for your convenience. Please note that this current
version of FundRaiser Basic was released about the same time as
Windows 95, so these instructions may be slightly different for
that new release.
And, yes, I am working on a Windows version. I expect it to be
available in mid 1996 - but this is not a promise. However,
registered users of this DOS version will be able to upgrade to
the Windows version for a reasonable amount, and will be the
first to hear about it. Any of you want to be a beta tester?
Only registered users qualify.
Running FRB through Windows 3.1
-------------------------------
FundRaiser Basic was not written specifically for the Windows
environment. However, like most DOS programs, it can be run as
a "non-Windows application" from within Windows. We do not
recommend this unless you work primarily in Windows, and find
yourself frequently going back and forth between the two.
If you must run FRB through Windows, here are our
recommendations: you must have at least 4Mb of RAM, and run
Windows (version 3.1) in 386-enhanced mode; you must also
increase the number of file handles in your CONFIG.SYS
file....the number will depend on what other programs you run
through Windows; try increasing it to 47. If you get a file
error, increase it in increments of 2 until the problem goes
away; then increase it by 2 more, for good measure.
To install FRB in Windows, go to the Program Manager; open the
Group you want to place FRB in. Click on Program Manager's
"File", then "New"; select "Program Item", then click on "OK".
You should now find yourself in the "Program Item Properties"
window. In the "Description" box, enter: FundRaiser Basic. In
the Command Line box, enter: FRB. In the "Working Directory"
box, enter: C:\FRB (assuming that this is where you installed
FundRaiser).
Now click on "Change Icon". You will be alerted that you must
choose one from the Program Manager; click on "OK". Scroll to
the right to find an icon that appeals to you (most people seem
to choose either the safe or the mailbox). Click on the icon
that you choose; then click on "OK". Back in the Program Item
Properties window, click on "OK". After a moment, you will see
your icon installed in your selected Group.
Finally, edit the PIF file: Open the "Main" Group and
double-click on the "PIF Editor" to open it. (The title bar
should be (Untitled). If not, click on File, then New.) In the
"Program Filename" box, enter: FRB.EXE. In the "Window Title"
box, enter: FundRaiser Basic. In the "Start-up Directory" box,
enter: C:\FRB (or whatever matches the Working Directory
above).
The next six choices should be marked as follows:
Video Memory must be Text
Memory Requirements must be 520 Required, 640 Desired.
EMS Memory should be 0 Required, 1024 Limit.
Display Usage can be either choice, but most people
prefer Windowed.
Execution the choice is yours, but be sure that
Close Window on Exit is checked ON.
When you're finished, click on "File", then "Save". Under
"File Name", enter: FRB, and click on "OK". Close the Editor
window. You're now ready to start FundRaiser Basic.
