Downloading Instructions

Although downloading /Equater!/ is quite simple, you may wish to print
these instructions before proceeding. The procedure outlined below
requires the use of: (i) a relatively recent version of the /Reflection/
terminal emulator and (ii) either Netscape /Navigator/ 3.0 (or greater)
or Microsoft /Internet Explorer/ 3.0 (or greater), running on any
version of Windows (3.x, 95, or NT). If you're missing any of these
pieces, the downloading procedure unfortunately will not work.

*Step 1.*

    Click on the download link above. Store the self-extracting file
    (/equater.exe/) anywhere you wish on your PC. Its residency on your
    PC will only be temporary. At the conclusion of the downloading
    process, after /Equater!/ has been successfully transfered to your
    HP3000, this file will be deleted.

*Step 2.*

    Once the file has been downloaded, double click on the newly
    downloaded file. When you press the UnZip button, the file will
    unzip itself and automatically build an /AICS/ directory (folder) on
    the C: drive, with a subdirectory (subfolder) labeled /Equater/.

*Step 3.*

    You will now find six files in the /Equater/ subdirectory. The six
    files are the /Equater!/ calculator and its attendant on-line
    manuals, help files, and UDC file. These files are stored in
    /Reflection/'s WRQ protocol (LABEL mode) and must be transferred
    back onto your HP3000 in that format. The particular version of
    /Reflection/ that was used to originally upload these six files was
    5.10. It would probably be best to use a reasonably similar version.

*Step 4.*

    Using /Reflection/, sign onto your HP3000 as MANAGER.SYS. Please
    type /(typing each separate command as one long line; no carriage
    returns)/:

    *:NEWGROUP AICS;
    ACCESS=(R,X:ANY;W,A,L:AC);
    CAP=IA,BA,PH
    *

    *:CHGROUP AICS*

*Step 5.*

    Using /Reflection/, transfer the six files, using LABEL mode
    transfer, into the AICS group of the SYS account.

*Step 6.*

    Once the transfer is complete, please type:

    * :SETCATALOG EQUDC.AICS.SYS;
    SYSTEM;APPEND *

    *:RELEASE EQUDC.AICS.SYS*

    The UDCs *:EQ, :EQF, :EQS, :EQX, :EQP* will now activate /Equater/
    from every account. This procedure will work without disturbing any
    user. System-wide UDCs can be added at any time. The UDCs do not
    take effect, however, until the user signs on again and
    re-establishes his or her UDC set. The first UDC (*:EQ*) activates
    /Equater!/ normally. The others skip the initial screens and jump
    directly to the financial, statistical, scientific, and programmer's
    calculators, respectively.

*Step 7.*

    Test your newly downloaded version of /Equater!/ by signing on to
    any account and typing any one of the UDCs we just added in the
    previous step.

*Step 8.*

    Once you are satisfied that /Equater!/ is indeed working, you may
    leave /Reflection/ and delete the self-extracting downloader file
    (/equater.exe/) as well as the /Equater!/ subdirectory and its six
    files from your PC's file directory.

*Step 9.*

    Congratulations on a successful download. We sincerely hope you
    enjoy your new copy of /Equater!/.
