Welcome to Code-A-Line!

This is a shareware program which you are free to evaluate before you buy.
Plese refer to the online documentation for the software license and
registration information.

This file explains the steps that you should follow to install Code-A-Line.
It also explains the changes that Code-A-Line makes on your disk upon
installation so that you can easily uninstall it, if needed.



HOW TO INSTALL CODE-A-LINE?

You should have received Code-A-Line as a compressed archive file CODE.ZIP.
You need PKUNZIP.EXE version 2.04g or newer to decompress and un-archive it.
PKUNZIP can be downloaded from most public bulletin board systems.

Create a temporary directory on your hard drive, or prepare a blank formatted
diskette (at least 720K), where you would like to store the pre-installation
(master) copy of Code-A-Line.  Make this directory your default.

Un-archive CODE.ZIP by issuing the following command at the DOS prompt:

  pkunzip code

The files in CODE.ZIP will be unpacked and placed in the current directory.
The program is NOT ready to run at this point. You have merely unpacked
the archive used to distribute the master copy of the software.

The next step is to install Code-A-Line from the master files. In the
Program Manager, select Run from the File menu, then enter the full path
to the Code-A-Line installation program SETUP.EXE in the Command Line box.
Press OK to run the SETUP.EXE utility.

Once Code-A-Line Setup is started you should select "First Time
Installation" from its main menu, and the program will then lead you
through the process.



WHAT SETUP DOES?

Setup copies and prepares the master files to be used by Code-A-Line.
It will copy these files from the master directory and/or drive described
in the previous section into the installation directory which you specify
during the installation process. It is strongly recommended that the two
are NOT the same directory, i.e. that you install Code-A-Line to a
different directory from the one where the master files are stored (you
may choose to store the master files in a separate diskette - this would
then became your master installaion diskette).

Code-A-Line Setup does not make any changes to WIN.INI or SYSTEM.INI.
Code-A-Line will only place the initialization file CODE.INI in your
Windows directory when it is first run.


Optionally, Setup creates a Program Manager group and installs Code-A-Line
icons in it. You are prompted before this action takes place for a
permission.



HOW TO UNINSTALL CODE-A-LINE


To remove the installed program and its support files:

- Delete all files from the Code-A-Line installation directory that you
  specified when running Setup (be careful to backup any data files that
  you may have created there and want to preserve prior to issuing del *.*).

- Delete CODE.INI from your Windows directory.

- If you have asked SETUP to create a Program Manager group for Code-A-Line,
  delete this group inside the Program Manager (select Delete from the File
  menu while the group is minimized and selected).


To further remove the master files:

- If you have placed the master Code-A-Line files on your hard disk, remove
  these files, and the directory they are in.

If you used a diskette to store the master files, discard the diskette.

- These are all the steps that you need to undertake to completely remove
  Code-A-Line from your system.
