AUXILIARY FILES for U.S. IMPORTS, November 1997 to December 1998

****************************************************************************

  These auxiliary files replace defective files on the monthly U.S. Imports
  of Merchandise CD-ROMs issued for November 1997 through December 1998.

****************************************************************************

** Installing auxiliary files **

1a. Create a new directory on your hard disk, and make this the
    current directory.  Putting this new directory under a main \EXTRACT
    directory may help you remember what these files are for.  (Do not use a
    directory in use for other auxiliary files.)

       C:
       CD \EXTRACT
       MD IMP98

2.  Uncompress the files onto your hard disk, assuming the source is your
    A: drive--

       a:\FTDIMP98 C:\EXTRACT\IMP98 -n                       <ENTER>

    The FTDIMP98.EXE file is a "self-extracting" archive that contain
    catalog, data dictionary and other auxiliary files which EXTRACT needs
    in order to select data correctly from certain monthly imports discs.

3.  Copy a batch file to your default directory.

       COPY C:\EXTRACT\IMP9798\EXIMP98.BAT

    If your CD-ROM drive is anything other than D:, edit the file to
    change the D: on the second line to the appropriate designation.

** Starting EXTRACT to work with the 1997 Imports History disc **

1.  Make the directory with EXTRACT.EXE in it the current directory:

       CD \EXTRACT                       <ENTER>

2.  Start the program with the batch file copied earlier.

       EXIMP98                           <ENTER>
