**************************************************************************** CONSOLIDATED FEDERAL FUNDS REPORT, 1983-1992: AUXILIARY FILES **************************************************************************** These auxiliary files allow EXTRACT to work with the Consolidated Federal Funds Reports 1983-1992 CD-ROM. EXTRACT also works with the newer 1984- 1993 CFFR CD-ROM, but the these files are not necessary since EXTRACT can be installed directly from that CD-ROM. **************************************************************************** ** Installing auxiliary files ** 1a. If you are installing CFFR auxiliary files for the first time, 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 CFFRAUX 2. Uncompress the files onto your hard disk, assuming the source is your A: drive-- CD\EXTRACT\CFFRAUX a:CFFRAUX2 -n The CFFRAUX2.EXE file is a "self-extracting" archive that contain catalog, data dictionary and other auxiliary files which EXTRACT needs in order to select and display data from CFFR 83-92 CD-ROM. **************************************************************************** ** Starting EXTRACT to work with Export and Import files ** 1. Make the directory with EXTRACT.EXE in it the current directory: CD \EXTRACT 2. Start the program. EXTRACT 3. You will be asked to specify some drives and directories. If your configuration includes a CD-ROM reader, you must specify a CD-ROM drive letter. This is the letter you assigned when you first installed the reader; often, the reader is assigned the letter "L". You also will be asked to specify a "work directory." This is any directory on your hard disk (e.g., \EXTRACT\WORK), which EXTRACT uses to store temporary files; be sure to create the directory before using it in EXTRACT! When the system asks for the location of auxiliary files, specify the subdirectory where you installed these files, e.g. c:\EXTRACT\CFFRAUX. **************************************************************************** ** For More Information ** See the documentation, EXTRACT.DOC, available on Economic Census CD-ROMs or compressed within EXT15.EXE, available separately. ****************************************************************************
