OOD's RIGHT HAND V2.66 Web Install README.TXT


The program is written in DOS FoxPro & will work successfully in any PC operating system from DOS 5 to Win XP Professional. Old computers running Win 3.1 or earlier will operate better running the program from a DOS prompt. Win 98 through to WinXP operate happily from a Windows desktop icon.

BEFORE YOU START ******************************************
If running DOS 5 through to  Win ME, you MUST ENSURE that \config.sys requests adequate files & buffers.
Suggested entries are :-
FILES=60
BUFFERS=40
Also ensure that expanded memory is 
available. Have a line like:- DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM 2048

If running WIN NT, WIN 2000, WIN XP 
In these operating systems, CONFIG.SYS does not control DOS parameters. Instead the FILES=60 & BUFFERS=40 lines MUST BE ADDED to the end of CONFIG.NT normally to be found in C:\windows\system32 (Search for file if necessary as WIN NT & WIN 2000 may be different.)

INSTALL ON OLD DOS MACHINE ***********************************************
Copy Package.exe into a directory \ORH, change to that directory & then double click Package.exe. This file will expand to its constituents. Copy ORH.BAT to C:\. You can then delete Package.exe.
Enter C:\ORH to run the program thereafter

INSTALL ON Win 95, Win 98, WIN NT, 2000 or XP **********************************************
Use Windows Explore to copy Package.exe into a directory \ORH, change to that 
directory & then double click Package.exe. Locate ORH.EXE & right-mouse-drag it on to the desktop & create a shortcut there.
Right mouse click on the shortcut & select PROPERTIES, then hunt for the following items which come under different headings according to Operating System:-
* CHANGE ICON - I use a Red Ruber Dinghy!
* Run FULL SCREEN or MAXIMIZED
* Memory (for Win 95 or 98) Select AUTO for all memory types.
