CA-Clipper
Version 5.3
Release Notes
June 1995


This file contains important information about the
release of CA-Clipper 5.3.  This file is provided as an
update to your printed CA-Clipper documentation.


FLOPPY DISK INSTALLATION

CA-Clipper 5.3 may be installed from within Windows or
DOS.  To install from within Windows, use the INSTALL.EXE
on disk 1.  To install from DOS, use the INSTALL.EXE on
disk 5.


CD-ROM INSTALLATION

CA-Clipper 5.3 may be installed from within Windows or
DOS.  To install from within Windows, use the INSTALL.EXE
in the WINDOWS directory of your CD-ROM drive.  To install
from DOS, use the INSTALL.EXE in the DOS directory of your
CD-ROM drive.


VERY IMPORTANT -- If you install a new repository over
your existing one, all data in the forms, menus, and data
servers will be lost.  These items are stored in the
"Binary Objects" module and installing a new repository
will overwrite this information.  In addition, the
dependencies between different .PRG and header files will
also be lost.  Your source code itself, however, will not
be effected.


INSTALLING FROM WINDOWS

If you are using the Windows installer and your copy of
Windows is NOT installed on the same disk drive as your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file (i.e., Windows is on the D: drive and
your AUTOEXEC.BAT file is on the C: drive), at the end of
the installation, the installer will bring up an error
message.  The message states, "Cannot find autoexec.bat.
Would you like to create it?"  Simply answer NO to this
question and from the Open file dialog box that appears,
locate your copy of AUTOEXEC.BAT and press OK.  The
installation will continue correctly from this point.


INSTALLING FROM A NETWORK DRIVE

If you have problems when attempting to run the
installation program from a network drive, copy the
contents of disk 1 to a floppy disk using XCOPY with
the /S option and install from the floppy drive.  Then,
when prompted for the location of the other disks,
enter the appropriate network drive and directory.

It is important that the installation procedure run
from beginning to end with no problems.  Therefore, if
your system locks up or suddenly exits from Windows to
the DOS prompt during installation, follow the advice
given above.  Otherwise, you cannot be sure that
CA-Clipper was installed successfully.


INSTALLING FROM DOS

If you have chosen the DOS install to install CA-Clipper
5.3, you must be aware that none of the files necessary
to run the CA-Clipper Workbench will be installed.  If
you would like to run CA-Clipper under Windows using the
Workbench, you must run the Windows installation from
disk 1.


REBOOT AFTER INSTALLATION!

After CA-Clipper 5.3 has been installed, be sure to
reboot your computer for all of the system's changes
to take effect.
