*PROFILES
(Note: Many computers have Profiles feature added as an option and users don't 
know that they are added, be very careful in configuring and deleting profiles.
If you decided to delete Profiles you will have to copy missing shortcuts 
from C:\windows\Profile\Profile name to the main StartMenu and Desktop
configured without profiles.

Profiles are Desktop and Shortcuts settings that are selected by different
individual users, The next person who logs on to Windows can change settings
without affecting the settings you prefer. The next time you log on, your settings 
will be restored.

To Select or Deselect Profiles, go to the
Control panel\Password Icon\Users profile Tab.
If you don't know about profiles and Profiles option is selected and wondering 
what's happening to your shortcuts in the Start menu or Desktop, you will find them in 
C:\Windows\Profiles.)
End note
****

Page11
Now in ERS select the Configure Profiles check box, type the profile name exactly
as in the C:\Windows\Profiles.
Profile name has to be short file name (8 letters or less) with no spaces, under score
is OK but NO  : ( } . ', & @ ! etc.
Example:   Mary_Lou, John, 
If you should change the profile name all backups of the older name will be deleted.
Also if profile name is misspelled, there will be no backups made for that Profile.

Profile files are User.dat and User.da0, these are different from the User.dat
and User.da0 in C:\Windows, each user will have his or her own User.dat and 
User.da0.View these two files in the profile's window  when  backed up or deleted.
Profiles are the most difficult and time consuming part of programming this software,
Always check physically C:\Ers32pro\Profiles, P1, P2, P3 ...etc. to P7
that all files being backed up OK and the backup dates are valid.
P1 to P7 follow the same backup routine as in the 3 Day  and & Day
Rotating backups.
(Read very carefully the trouble shooting guide about manually deleting left
over backups.)
If you reinstalling ERS then I suggest to delete the profiles directory if you have
versions dated before August 3d 1997.
***************************    
*REMEMBER REMEMBER REMEMBER
***************************
Just type ERS or ERS.bat while restoring, typing ERS will guide you and remind
you how to restore and will guide you on how  to restore.
Also it will change directories to C:\1ers where all the restore batch files are stored.
Just type ERS  or ers.BAT at the "Command Prompt only"
If you see an ERS.bat in the root directory don't delete it.
REMEMBER TYPE ERS at the
"Command Prompt Only"

USEFUL *TIPS

Print the readme.txt and save it for a rainy day or at least
print the backup and restore section.

Always do good fresh backups, don't say I don't need these
backups because one day you will wish that you had a backup.

Always keep more than one backup,  get familiarized with
this program and make test runs.

When you do a restore, it will restore to the same
settings that you had when you did that last backup.
If you should unfortunately allow yourself to fall behind making backups, the info
 you restore will be outdated. And although this could get your computer running
once again, it may require a lot of work resetting interface parameters and program
setting defaults to fit your personal needs and to meet the need of more recent 
changes to your system.

Make a backup before you install a new program.
If everything works fine afterwards, make another one and wait few days.

Double click ERS.bat in C:\  and get familiarized with it.
Copy Attrib.exe from C:\windows\command to C:\.

The way I do it, always keep one good  backup in BackupA, Vitals1 and Startup1.
Add the 7Day auto backup to the startup folder let it do backups daily.
If I edit the system files or install a new program then I backup to BackupB,
also to Vitals2 and Startup2 if installing a new program .
If the changes I made to system files or program installation are successful then I 
make another backup in BackupC, wait for few days then delete unwanted backups.
*********************************************************


*OTHER FEATURES
To Make *ERS Bootdisk
{CAUTION... Always make bootdisks in the boot floppy drive, not in a secondary 
floppy drive} 
Click Options\Make ERS bootdisk and select the Floppy boot drive that
applies to your computer.




Page13
Insert a new and newly formatted floppy in drive A or B (some older computers use 
B floppy drive to be the boot floppy) , that is considering the boot floppy drive is 
A (usually A).After you make the boot disk make all ERS32pro backups and copy
the 14 restore batch files from C:\1ERS. Then delete unwanted backups.
(Note do all the backups that ERS makes then copy the batch files, total 14)
(Note:  C boot floppy NEC computers send me an Email  to make ERS boot disk.)
(If you change profiles, you will need to replace those batch files, )
You can execute ERS restore commands from the boot disk instead of going to
the command prompt, but the command prompt is faster.
When you use the boot disk a pop screen will pop up to remind you of the restore
commands but no notes or dates will be displayed.
If you get runtime errors while making a boot disk, that means you have DOS files 
missing in the C:\windows\command
 WARNING: If you are using overlays use the boot disk supplied and 
 select from options, using this bootdisk will damage your data.
----------
*Alarm Clock, to set the Alarm click the S button also you can add notes, you can set 
the time you wish to be reminded. The Alarm clock is free and feal free to give it to 
your friends, be sure to give the ringin.wav with it, you can select a sound of your 
choice from your own sound collection, just rename it to ringin.wav and place it in the 
same folder as the Alarm. The Alarm clock creates Alarm.dat to memories color  
settings and Alanotes.dat to save data kept in notes. Click the form to edit notes.
*CLICKING
View the ers32pro.gif in the Ers32pro directory for explanations of controls.
You can almost click on any window or label in ERS to view:
If you click any of the Date/Stamp label you can view the contents of that backup
on view Window #1.
Click the Vitals or Startup Date/stamp label and view files backed up from the system 
directory in  #1 view Window  and from the Windows directory  in the #2 View
window.  (don't get confused between the Win95 startup files and the Startup folder).
Profiles View windows will pop up if you use profiles.


.
Click view Window #1 once  to view the Windows directory, Double-click to view
the Windows\System directory.
Click View Window #2 to view the Startup folder, also click the label that says Auto
backup
to view the Startup folder.
Note: Feature will not work if the view Window is empty
You will find a gif graphical explanations of all the controls in the Ers32pro folder,
view it with your gif viewer.

*TROUBLESHOOTING
If you have ERS installed in a non English Win95 then you need to make a shortcut
to the Sched7d.exe or Sched3d.exe to the Startup folder manually, don't copy or
move sched7d.exe or sched3d.exe but make a shortcut and copy or drag and drop 
the Shortcut. Let me know if you want customized version for your native language.

When you run help, if you get message that Richtx32.ocx not found, Be sure you have 
a good backup made of the System files using ERS32pro.
 Unzip ERS32pro.zip to temporary folder other than ERS32pro and run Setup.exe 
and select Reinstall, after the Reinstall it will prompt you if you want to install Richtx32.ocx select Yes .
If you are unable to start Setup.exe or ERS.exe, and you get message  comdlg32.ocx
is missing or not correctly registered then extract comdlocx.zip
to the root directory and double click comdlocx.bat.
comdlocx.zip is in the ers32.zip file.

On Exit and .dat files:
when you select exit a 2 second delay is enforced , that's only to save data to reg.dat, 
ers.dat, ers1.dat, ers2.dat and profiles.dat, it also creates ers.bat in the root 
directory C, so it needs that couple extra  seconds before exiting.
ERS.dat, keeps track of the first 7 notes you write with the backups (Day1 through 
Day7). 
Ers1.dat, keeps track of the second 7  notes you write with the backups.
Ers2.dat , keeps track of the Add 3day/7Day check box.
Profiles.dat, keeps track of profile names and settings.
Reg.dat, Keeps track of your registration and enables settings.
Note: 
{When you open ERS.exe, it will gather information from the above .dat files,
 and before closing ERS it will feed information back into them} (.dat stands for data ).

Should  Reg.dat or  ers.dat  or ers1.dat or ers2.dat or profiles.dat get corrupted then
ERS will not start, rename  those files, you will loose all the notes and you will loose
the registration so you have to re enter the registration name and code, be sure
you know your name the way it was registered.
You will loose all profiles listed too, but if you  enter profiles names then  backups
will stay intact, other wise you need to manually delete profiles backups if you don't
profiles will be disabled.
If you think you are having problems with these files, my advice is to move reg.dat and 
ers.dat and profiles .dat to another temporary folder, and add them back one at a time
 to see which is the corrupted one.
ERS.exe will create new .dat file if no .dat file present, so when you
move back the .dat files you need to over write the new ones.

Page15
The program has been tested and proven to work very well.  Always look
the view windows to see if files are backed up, its also is a good habit to
physically check through the backup folders in the ERS32pro directory and be
sure all files are backed up, you should have at least 10 files plus the Autoexec.bat,
Config.sys and the Dosstart.bat if you didn't delete them.
Note: If the Autoexec.bat, Config.sys and the Dosstart.bat size equal to zero 0 then
MS-DOS will give you "file not found " message when restoring

Don't move or change or open any of the ERS files, only open the backup folders
D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, BackupA, BackupB, BackupC, Vitals1and Vitalw1 as
the Vitals1 backup and Vitals2, Vitalw2 as Vitals2 backup, also Startup1 and
Wincom1 as  the Startup1 backup and Startup2 and Wincom2 as the Startup2
backup.
Please don't open folders named Date, these are used to check the date/time
stamp backup was made, if you move any of those folders then its going to reflect
the wrong date/time stamp.
Don't  double click the .dat files, those are binary files and you can't get nothing from 
them..


Again, you need the Vbrun 500 to be installed in your computer for it to run if you
don't have it download at my homepage.

*********************************************************
*BUGS FIXED
1)The readme.txt and the Help had a typo, it should have read :
 To restore from BackupA type BackupA
 To restore from BackupB type BackupB
 To restore from BackupC type BackupC
2)Richtx32.exe installation now optional in the Setup wizard Reinstall .
3)Notes to backup are not lost.
4)Your name appears in the About.
5)Setup Wizard was corrupted, it asked for Comdlg32.ocx, (no longer needed)
6)No message box on exiting, instead a 2 second delay before closing.
7)Many little bugs, just can't remember them all, almost flawless.
8)Notes to backup would not rotate with backups, now fixed.
9)If you installed ERS32pro in a drive other than C then it will not create 1Ers folder
in C drive as it should, bug fixed.
10)Reminder.bat that goes in the ERS bootdisk wordings changed and more notes 
added, if you already made the ERS bootdisk just copy reminder.bat from 
c:\ers32pro\ersfiles to the boot floppy.
11) Little minor bugs fixed.


	Page15
12) 	When you exited it took longer than 2 seconds to exit, now fixed.
13) 	Help.exe is fixed and many features added.
14)If you had no profiles, restore batch files still made restore batch files to Profiles,
Now fixed.
15)Setup.exe didn't create C:\ers32pro\Profiles\Pa and PB and Pc folders, fixed
16)If ERS is installed in a language other than English, no more errors clicking 
View windows #1 and #2.
17)Label with backup dates refreshes much better now, don't forget to click the top
label to refresh all dates.
18)Ringin.wav is copied to the Root directory "C" now.
19)Improved Setup.exe and help.exe.
20)Two Bug found in MsDOS 7.0, ERS32pro corrected to over come these two bugs.
Bug a)When you type SYS C: to transfer system from bootdisk to C, MsDOS 7.0 
could transfer the wrong MsDos.sys making you unable to start Windows. A copy of
MsDos.sys is backed to the ERS bootdisk, just type msdos or msdos.bat to restore.
Msdos.sys is saved in a Folder called Backup in the ERS boot disk, so re-make the
ERS bootdisk.
Bug b)When you type this copy command in MsDos 7.0,
Copy c:\example.txt b:
You will get messgae "One File Copied", but I found that MsDOS could give this
message but in real the file is not copied, this could happen if you are overwriting
another file. So I had to correct ERS32pro restore batch files to use this command
instead  Copy c:\example.txt b:\. 
Files affected,  MsDos.sys,   Io.sys,   Autoexec.bat and Config.sys.
Backups affected: Day1 through Day7, BackupA, backupB and backupC.
21) Setup.exe, Help.exe  and Alarm.exe improved again.
New Feature:
1)You can Bypass the 30 second pause in the Auto backup and resume backup now.
2) 1ers.bat added to the family, 1ers.bat is created in the 1ers folder, it would have
     the 	date/time stamp of the auto backups and all backups but no notes since notes 
    are 	un attendant during auto backup .(Now removed, read #6)
3)ERS setup wizard now has option to Install for new installation and Reinstall for 
updates also it would install Richtx32.ocx to run help if you need it.
4)If you click the date/time the Day1 label  it will refresh the dates of all labels if
 needs  refreshing.
5)Changed the Auto backup to backup once every 22 hours instead of 24 hours
6)No more 1ers.bat , only ERS, just type ERS at the command prompt, to read 
backup dates and instructions.
7)Just type ERS at the command prompt and it will change directory automatically to
the 1ers folder. Also ers.bat is removed from the C:\1ers folder.
 Note:
If you are reinstalling, delete ers.dat, ers1.dat, profile1.dat from the ERS32pro 
directory, also delete the Profiles backup directory if you have versions dated before
August 3rd 1997.
8)Help.exe been fixed
9)Help.exe Index Window is read only now, to edit close Help and open notes6.rtf.
10)Help.exe auto size itself to Windows resolution now.
11)alarm now saves colors and you can edit notes.
