Installing the Event Manager:
At present, installing the Event Manager involves several
steps.
1. Because there is no guarantee that a program cannot be virus
infected, take the time to scan for a virus just to be safe.
It could prove well worth your time.
2. Unzip the downloaded file into a directory of your choice.
A strongly suggested directory title is "C:\EVENT". The
example programs will have to be edited if you choose another
directory name. Check the unzipped files againt the PACKLST.TXT
file to see if all is there.
3. Copy all .VBX and .DLL files to the "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM"
directory. You will want to check the dates on your existing
.VBX and .DLL files before copying in case you have a more up
to date file already. In that case you would not want to copy
mine into your directory.
4. Install the icons for each of the three programs "EVENT.EXE",
"MACED.EXE" and "DDETEST.EXE" by the following method:
Select File from the File Manager. Then choose New. When
the New Program Object dialog box appears, select Program Item and
OK. The Program Item Properties dialog box will then appear. At the
Description line, type "Event Manager. At the Command line, type
"C:\EVENT\EVENT.EXE", then choose OK. The Event Manager icon will
now appear in your Program Manager selections. Auxiliary programs,
MACED.EXE and DDETEST.EXE can be started from the Tools menu. You
can install their icons if desired in the same manner as for the
Event Manager.
5. The manual can be loaded into Word for Windows, or Microsoft Works. The
file is EVENTS.RTF which is a Rich Text Format. There is currently in the
BETA edition of Ver 1.0 no online help, so you will need to print the
manual. On Line Help is coming.
If things just do not seem to work, or I can be of help to you in any way,
please send me a mail message on Compuserve. My User I.D. is
