10.0 RUNNING THE EXECUTIVE

SOFTWARE

Once you have installed the Executive software, you can run it by

doubleĆclicking the AMX V3 icon in the AutoMax program group or

by typing AUTOMAX3 at the DOS prompt. Typing AUTOMAX3 will

also invoke Windows.
To run AutoMax V3.x software from Windows 95, click on start and

choose:

Programs>AutoMax V3.x>Automax V3

To set up AutoMax V3 if V4 is also installed, follow these steps:
Step 1:

Copy the file AMX3RUN.EXE from the V4 installation

directory (typically C:\RPE\AMX4) to the V3 installation

directory (typically C:\RPE\AMX3).

Step 2:

Navigate to the AutoMax V3.x program folder and select

the AutoMax V3 icon.

Step 3:

From the File menu choose Properties. The AutoMax V3

Properties dialog is displayed.

Step 4:

Select the shortcut tab and type the following in the

Target field:

C:\RPE\AMX3\AMX3RUN.EXE II.EXE

Step 5:

Click on the Change Icon button and type the following in

the File Name field:

C:\RPE\AMX3\II.EXE

Click OK.

Repeat this procedure as needed for the other icons in the AutoMax

V3.x program folder. AutoMax V3 can now be run from the Start

menu as described above.
When you run the Executive software, the first screen displayed after

the name and copyright information is the System Configurator

screen. From this screen, choose the Setup menu and then select

AutoMax to run the AutoMax setup procedure. See the Executive

software instruction manual, J2Ć3106, for how to perform the setup

procedure.
