                               v1.1   (for DOS)


  { PhotoNexus }  must be installed on a hard drive.  Do not attempt to
  install to, or run the program on, a floppy drive.

  To install, type:

                 A:INSTALL <Enter>     or     B:INSTALL <Enter>

  There must be about 1.3MB of free space available on the target hard
  drive or the install process will be incomplete, with indication of an
  error and an exit to DOS.   After installation, the program uses about
  685k of space.   The install process will create a directory on the
  destination drive, the default selection being  \PHOTONX.   The install
  process does NOT modify your path, autoexec.bat, or config.sys.


  The 3 primary files included in this package are:

           README.TXT (this file)     INSTALL.EXE     __0013.EXE


 Ŀ
   The following paragraph relates *ONLY* to bulletin board downloads:      
   If this program has been downloaded from a BBS,  the three files may be  
   moved to a diskette from which INSTALL.EXE is to be used,  as indicated  
   above.  You may also run INSTALL.EXE from your downloads directory *IF*  
   you are installing to a *DIFFERENT* logical drive from the one in which  
   INSTALL.EXE exists.  Do not attempt to install TO a floppy drive.        
 

  For an alternative installation, copy the self-extracting file __0013.EXE
  to a directory and simply execute that file.  __0013.EXE may then be deleted
  from the directory.   Use of INSTALL.EXE provides verification along with
  installation and provides opportunity to print the documentation (about 15
  pages).

  In the program itself, press <Alt-M> to access the on-line documentation.


  After a new installation, the following 8 files must be present in the
  \PHOTONX directory for a complete installation:

               PRINTER.DB
               ORDER.FRM
               REGISTER.EXE
               PHOTONX.DB
               PHOTONX.EXE
               PHOTONX.DOC
               _13OVERL.EXE
               _ADMIN13.PCX

  Several index files (*.ix) will be built when the program first executes.


  Version 1.1 changes:  we modified the Searchr text search facility with a
  completely new alogorithm which provides faster and more extensive searches.
  There are other minor changes in v1.1.

Possible problems with DOS 6.x:

If you are using DOS 6.x and are utilizing the EMM386 memory manager that
comes with DOS 6.x, the potential for system lockups exists in running this
or other programs which use expanded memory.

If the user installs DOS 6 and uses the MEMMAKER utility to help load things
high it will ask if there are programs that use EMS.  If you answer NO,
MEMMAKER will add the NOEMS parameter to the EMM386 driver line, which
increases the amount of high memory by 64K (i.e., the size of the pageframe
- nice if you have lots of drivers to load high).  Unfortunately, this
parameter has a different meaning with DOS 6 than it did with DOS 5.

If problems should occur and you are using the NOEMS parameter on the EMM386
line in your config.sys file, add the parameter NOVCPI after NOEMS.  Save the
change and reboot.  It has also been suggested that you might omit the NOEMS
parameter altogether.  If problems persist, and you are using the FRAME=NONE
switch, you should remove that parameter.

We have found DOS versions 3.3 through 5.0 to be very stable.
