If you are installing the upgrade software (M/N 57C621), you will be

prompted that the install procedure requires a previouslyĆinstalled

copy on the network server.
Step 2.

You will be prompted for the drive and subdirectory in

which to install the software. The defaults are as follows:

<DRV>:\RPE\<AMX3>

where:

<DRV> is the network drive where Windows is installed

RPE is the ReSource subdirectory

<AMX3> is the AutoMax V3.x subdirectory

You can make changes to any of the above parameters.

<DRV>:\AMXWORK will be the default working drive and

subdirectory. If you need to change the default, you must do so at

the Setup menu in the Executive.
Step 3.

If AutoMax task skeleton files (SKELETON.*) are found in

the install directory, the install procedure will display a

message stating that the existing AutoMax task skeleton

files (SKELETON.*) have been reĆnamed to USKELTON.*.

The install procedure will install new AutoMax task skeleton files

(SKELETON.*). After the install procedure is completed, you must

update the new skeleton files with any custom information from your

old skeleton files (USKELTON.*), and then delete the old skeleton

files.
Step 4.

The install procedure will begin writing files to the network

server hard drive. After disk 1 is installed, you will be

prompted to replace disk 1 with the floppy disk labeled

2", and so forth for the remaining diskettes. Be sure to

respond appropriately each time to the OK" prompt to

continue the installation. The Executive software will

occupy approximately 7 megabytes of memory on the

hard disk when installed.

You can abort the installation procedure at any point by selecting

Exit. If you abort the installation procedure, you must delete all of

the files in the <AMX3> and TEMP subdirectories.
Step 5.

A text file, README.NET, contains information pertaining

to using the Executive software as a shared program on a

network. You will be prompted for whether you want to

read the file or not. If you select Yes", the file will be

displayed. If you select No", you can read or print out

the file later by selecting README.NET from the

<AMX3> directory list using the Windows File Manager.

Step 6.

procedure.
