PRINT THIS PAGE NOW.  Use your browser print button (or upper left File, then Print) to print the contents of these pages for reference.

Have a blank, formatted floppy disk and label the disk: OSAS AP 1099 UPDATE 2001 and write today's date on the disk.  Put the disk in your A: drive.

When you click on the link below you will get a File Download window on the screen.  This download is not protected by a password. There should be a bullet next to Save this program to disk.  Go ahead and click <OK> to save the file.  Set the Save In Location to the A: drive and keep the file name  APTEN99.

Click here to start the download of the AP 1099 program update file.

Exit out of the internet and return back to Windows.

The program file you saved is a self-extracting zip archive file.  The program update file contains several files all compressed into one.  Having a compressed file speeds-up the download, and makes it easier than having to download over a dozen individual files.  It also contains a couple of subdirectories for those files.

To expand the archive file, you must do the following:

	Select the Windows Start menu by clicking on Start on your task bar (usually found in the lower left).
	Select Run ...
	For the Open line, enter the command: A:\APTEN99  -D   and click OK to run the command.  It is very important that you use the filename, a space, a dash, and the letter D (as in Dog).  The D option tells the program to include the subdirectories as it expands the archive.  A MSDOS window will open showing the expanding files.  When it is Finished, you may close the window.
	The disk is now an installable disk that can be used with Open Systems Resource Manager.  Continue to the next step.

to install the disk in OSAS.

only need to install the disk in one company.  Program installations automatically effect ALL companies.  It doesn't matter which company you are in when you do it, but only do it once.

With the disk created above, go into Open Systems, Resource Manager, System File Maintenance, Directories.  Make sure that the Install directory at the top has A:/.  If it doesn't, then change the directory to A:/.  Use <PgDn> to save your change.

Make sure your disk with the program update is in the A: drive.

From your OSAS main menu, once again go to Resource Manager, and choose Installation > Install Applications.  The installation program will read the disk and prompt you with a few Re-install questions.  The answers should already be all set to YES.  At this point <PgDn> to proceed with the update.

The system will copy the program files off of the floppy to your program folder and then prompt you:  Install Another Application?  Accept N by pressing the <enter> key, and the system will proceed with the final steps of installation.

In the final steps, the system will expand more files from the installation disk and merge some files into your OSAS system files.  When the install is complete, the main menu will appear.

If you get an error during the installation, the most likely cause is that you did not use the correct RUN command when you expanded the file.  Go back and try to expand the file again, saying Yes to overwriting any existing files.

You can run the new AP 1099 program. It will have the new format of two forms per page instead of the previous three forms per page. If you use a laser printer, you may want to consult the information on our support page concerning the configuration of laser printers.
