This is the installation description from the "!ReadMeFirst.txt" document.


Installation choices
--------------------

Contained within this archive are FOUR different installations
of Account, pick the one that you prefer.


  FullAll.ctl
  This installs the FULL version of Account, plus all of
  the additional extension modules. This provides the most
  functionality, but also requires the most storage space
  (around 45Kb) and runtime memory (~31Kb, normal use, with
  no extension modules loaded).

  FullOnly.ctl
  This installs the FULL version of Account, with NO
  extension modules; requires around 28.8Kb storage
  space and ~31Kb runtime memory.

  LiteAll.ctl
  This installs the LITE version of Account, plus the
  lite version extension modules. Requires 20.8Kb storage
  space, and ~29Kb runtime memory (normal use, with no
  extension modules loaded; ~32Kb with account graph
  extension in use).

  LiteOnly.ctl
  This installs ONLY the LITE version of Account, with no
  extension modules. This provides the main Account
  functionality at the least cost in terms of storage
  space (16.2Kb) and runtime memory (~29Kb).



How to install Account
----------------------

1. Extract ALL of the files in this archive to a temporary
   location on your harddisc, for example "C:\Temp\Account".

2. Connect your organiser to your computer; set the link to
   active, and establish a connection using PsiWin.

3. Right-click on "My Psion" and choose the option "Install
   New Program".

4. You will be asked to name an installation file. Go into
   the temporary location where you extracted the contents
   of this archive, and choose one of the .ctl files as
   described in the list above.

5. You will be asked to choose a location of where to
   install the Account software you have selected, along
   with an estimation of how much space will be required,
   along with the storage devices available, and how much
   space is available.
   You can store Account (and extensions, if chosen) onto
   a Flash device; as the account itself is held on the
   "default disk" (which should be a normal SSD or the
   internal 'disk').

6. Once installation completes, you can exit the installer
   program.

7. On your organiser, Psion+I (or Acorn+I) to install your
   new application onto the system screen, as is usual...



Manual installation
-------------------

This is for those who intend to install Account by hand,
either because they do not like automated installers, or
because they cannot use the Epoc installer (perhaps due to
using PsiWin version 1, or software on another operating
system such as !PsiFS under RISC OS).


Full version:

  1. Copy "Account.opa" to the \APP directory of the
     desired storage device (M: internal or A:/B: SSD).

  2. If you would like extension modules, create a new
     directory "ACCOUNT" within the \APP directory that
     you placed Account into.

     Copy as required into \APP\ACCOUNT:
       backaext.opo      Account backup utility
       csveaext.opo      CSV exporter utility
       grafaext.opo      Account grapher utility
       prntaext.opo      Print account entries utility
       & prntaext.dbf    Required if you install prntaext.

The final 'layout' will be something like:
  \APP
    |
    |-- \ACCOUNT
    |     |
    |     |-- Csveaext.opo
    |     |-- Grafaext.opo
    |     |-- Prntaext.dbf
    |     '-- Prntaext.opo
    |-- Account.opa
    |-- (other installed applications)
    :


Lite version:

  1. Copy "Acclite.opa" to the \APP directory of the
     desired storage device (M: internal or A:/B: SSD).

  2. If you would like extension modules, create a new
     directory "ACCOUNT" within the \APP directory that
     you placed Account into.

     Copy as required into \APP\ACCOUNT:
       csveaexl.opo      CSV exporter utility
       grafaexl.opo      Account grapher utility

The final 'layout' will be something like:
  \APP
    |
    |-- \ACCOUNT
    |     |
    |     |-- Csveaexl.opo
    |     '-- Grafaexl.opo
    |-- Account.opa
    |-- (other installed applications)
    :


Important note:

Please note that the filenames of the extension modules
for the full and lite versions DIFFER. The final four
letters of full version module names is "aext", while
the final four letters of the lite version modules names
is "aexl". THEY ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH EACH OTHER.



Documentation
-------------
The PDF file "accguide.pdf" (available separately from my
website as it alone is 545Kb) describes how to use the
Account software.

The text file "accguide.txt" (supplied) is a quick textual
conversion of the PDF document. It should be enough to get
you going, however you'll benefit more from the clarity and
visual layout of the original PDF document...

The PDF file "acclite.pdf" describes the differences
between the full version and the lite version.

You can also download extended specification documents
from my website if you are interested in writing your own
custom extensions for the Account software.

There is no help built into Account.



Full vs Lite
------------
If memory is an issue, it is suggested that you install the
Full version of account (without extensions) in order to
set up your account. This is because the lite version does
not allow the password to be changed, or the scheduled
transactions to be added/listed.
Once your account is set up, you can then delete the full
version of Account ("\APP\Account.opa") and then install
the Lite version, with or without the extensions as is
appropriate.
That's what I have done!

If memory is not an issue, i.e. you have a meg or two
onboard, and optionally a bunch of free space on SSDs;
then you'll get the most functionality from installing the
Full version with all the bells & whistles.

Don't forget - you can add/remove extension modules as you
wish. If you never need CSV export, delete the file
("\APP\ACCOUNT\Csveaext.opa" or "\APP\ACCOUNT\Csveaexl.opa")
and should you find you require CSV export a month down the
line, simply fire up PsiWin (etc) and copy it across...
