Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are installing from floppies, put the first floppy diskette 
into drive A: or B: and type "install <enter>" or double-click on 
the install.cmd object in the drive folder.  This script will first
identify the source directory and attempt to locate a 'TMP' or 'TEMP'
directory environment variable. If one is not found, the root of C:\
will be used for temporary files.  These temporary files will be
removed following the installation process.

A number of DLLs are included in the package.  If you start Electronic
Teller from the WPS folder, you shouldn't have to do anything else, since
the EXEs will find the DLLs on their own.  If you start it from the
command line, you *must* cd to the Electronic Teller directory.
IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU START ET FROM THE WPS FOLDER!


Migrating from Earlier Versions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is safe to install ET into your existing directory.  Please note,
however, that files that are no longer necessary will not be automatically
deleted.  You can safely remove the following file(s):

    o  JPRIKOID.DLL  (from 2.50a)

All other migratory matters are handled automatically.  
Migration of versions earlier than 2.49d (beta) IS NOT SUPPORTED.


Converting From ET's VX-Rexx days
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are an earlier E-Teller user with files from the VX-Rexx version, you
must convert those files by selecting the Folders -> Convert VX-Rexx... menu
item in the Service Desk window. You MUST first create a folder into which
the converted account(s) can be situated.


Trouble Shooting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Should you have difficulty installing, you can perform a manual installation.
The disk.1 and disk.2 files are actually self-extracting zip files, created
with InfoZip's 'unzipsfx.exe' utility.  Manually installing Electronic
Teller requires that you:

     1) Create a directory into which ET's program files will go.
     2) Copy 'read.me', 'history.txt', 'disk.1', and 'disk.2' into
        that directory.
     3) Execute the two archives by typing 'disk.1 <enter>' and
        'disk.2 <enter>'.
     4) Create a WPS folder by typing 'etfolder <enter>'
     5) Remove the 'disk.1' and 'disk.2' files.


Electronic Teller Files
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seven files should be contained in the archive:

        install.cmd  ... Installation rexx script.
        makedisk.cmd ... Script to create installation floppies (see below).
        read.me      ... This file.
        history.txt  ... List of changes.
        file_id.diz  ... BBS information file.
        disk.1       ... Self-extracting zip file 1.
        disk.2       ... Self-extracting zip file 2.


The following EXE and ICO files were unzipped into your destination
directory:

	etdesk.exe   ... Service Desk
	etbook.exe   ... Account Book (called from the Service Desk)
	etcald.exe   ... Calendar
	etcalc.exe   ... Calculator
	etremd.exe   ... Reminder utility
	etfolder.exe ... Folder creation utility
	etfold1.ico  ... Folder icon #1
	etfold2.ico  ... Folder icon #2 (for animation)


MakeDisk.cmd utility
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you need to create installation diskettes of Electronic Teller, you
may use the 'makedisk.cmd' utility contained in the archive.  This
utility assumes that *all* the files in the original archive are in
the directory from which the script is invoked.  It will then copy
the necessary files to floppy diskettes, which can then be used later
to install Electronic Teller on another system.
