1989-1990 CBP

The 1989-1990 County Business Patterns disc has an error in one of the
catalog files so that you get a blank screen when you try to access county
data for 1990 (1989 data are not affected).  To fix, install the file
CBP90SUP.EXE, available on the Census BBS.  That is all you need to do.

   CD \EXTRACT
   A:CBP90SUP  <enter>   (assuming CBP90SUP.EXE is on your A: drive)


1988-1989 CBP

The 1988-1989 County Business Patterns disc is missing a "MASTER.CTG" file,
which prevents its being used with EXTRACT unless you have installed
CBP90SUP.EXE, as noted above, or an earlier version--CBP9SUPL.EXE.

That will, among other things, create the file EXCBP89.BAT in your EXTRACT
directory.  If your CD-ROM drive is designated something other than L: or
if your work directory is something other than C:\EXTRACT\WORK, then use a
text editor to change this line in the .BAT file:

    EXTRACT c L: L:\AUXIL\ C:\EXTRACT\WORK C:\EXTRACT\MSTRCBP9.CTG
              ^  ^                ^              ^
              |  |                |              |
           Change to your  Change to your   Change if EXTRACT is
           CD-ROM drive    work directory   located elsewhere
           letter

In the future, to use the 88-89 CBP disk, start EXTRACT with the command
EXCBP89.  (No such change is required for the 89-90, 87-88, or 86-87 discs.)


1987-1988 or 1987-1988 CBP

If you are also using earlier CBP disks, you may continue to use them the
same way you have previously.  If you are just starting to use the 86-87 or
87-88 disk, you must load auxiliary files onto your hard disk.
You may use these commands, assuming L: is your CD-ROM drive:

    CD \EXTRACT
    MD CBPAUXIL
    CD \EXTRACT\CBPAUXIL
    L:\EXTRACT\CBPAUXIL
    CD \EXTRACT
    EXTRACT

When the program asks you for an auxiliary directory, respond
C:\EXTRACT\CBPAUXIL
