do I move PCLaw (Windows) Version 2 to another Computer?
- Determine
the location of your PCLaw PROGRAM and DATA files.

determine the location of your PCLaw PROGRAM and DATA files:
-
Start
PCLaw.

On
the Alumni Computer Group Data Directory Dump window, the
location of your data is listed to the right of the word JOURNALS:.
Write down this path, excluding the \JS\ found at the end of the
path.

For
example, if the location of the journals is shown as C:\PCLAWWIN\DATA\JS\,
then the location of your data files is C:\PCLAWWIN\DATA. THIS
IS YOUR DATA DIRECTORY.
-
Make
sure no one is running PCLaw.
- Copy
the PROGRAM directory (determined from Step 1) and its contents,
including all subdirectories, from the old computer to the new computer
(or backup this directory and restore it to the new computer).
- Copy
the DATA directory (determined from Step 1) and its contents, including
all subdirectories, from the old computer to the new computer (or
backup this directory and restore it to the new computer)
Note: With many installations, the DATA directory is a subdirectory of the
PROGRAM directory. If this is the case, it is not necessary to copy
the DATA directory a second time.
-
Run
the Setup program:
-
Select File and then Run from the Windows Program Manager.
(If you are running Windows 95/98 or NT, click Start and
then Run.)
-
Type pclawpath\setup (where pclawpath represents
the location of your PROGRAM FILES).

the location of the data files where you copied your data in Step
4. Click OK.

make these changes manually when Setup is complete.
-
The
final window informs you that the installation process is complete.
Click OK to return to the Windows Program Manager.
CAUTION: Do not remove your original PCLaw until you have verified that the
program is working correctly with current data on the new computer.
