Trade Manager Installation Instructions --------------------------------------- 1. Copy the file TRADER1.EXE into a blank directory. C> md c:/tradetmp C> copy trader1.exe c:/tradetmp 2. Change to that directory. C> cd c:/tradetmp 3. Execute TRADER1.EXE. C> trader1 4. This will create a bunch of files, one of which is SETUP.EXE. 5. Run SETUP.EXE from Windows. From Program Manager, select File/Run... and run SETUP.EXE. 6. This will install Trade Manager into a directory you specify. If you get a message saying you need to add some line to your autoexec.bat, then you need to add the line: SHARE /L:500 to your autoexec.bat file. Add it somewhere near the top. Then restart your computer. SHARE is a standard program that allows different Windows tasks to share the same file for reading. 7. When it is finished, you may delete all the installation files. C> del c:/tradetmp/*.* C> rd c:/tradetmp 8. That's it! The setup program should have created a Program Manager group called Trade Manager with the program inside it. 9. Open the Trade Manager group and double-click on the Trade Manager icon to begin the program. If you have trouble, email pzmaymin@fas.harvard.edu for help.
