4. Installation

  NOTE: The v3.1 INI file is compatible with v3.0.  However, some
  defaults have changed and you may consider deleting your previous
  INFOMILE.INI file before running the software for the first time to
  take advantage of the new defaults.

  The software can be installed in 2 ways:

   The easiest way is to run the INSTALL program from the directory
    where it is located.  This will create a directory on your hard
    disk, copy all necessary files and create a desktop folder.

   A manual installation can also be done as long as all files
    required for program operation detailed above are present and
    located in the same directory.



5. Getting started
 
  Report format files are created by selecting New from the File 
  menu. 

  After selecting the communication program (See Support for
  obtaining the latest list of supported programs), typically only
  the Log File Path needs to be specified to locate the log file on
  the disk drive. 

  Further information can be found in the online help.  Pressing F1 
  will invoke context-sensitive help from most dialogs.

  Tips

   Be sure logging is turned ON in the communication software.

   The included bonus utility, InfoLog, can be used to create usage
    logs for communication software that does not.
