2.2 Installation of the Inquiry Program


Installation: Web Version

Since April 2001 there are two ways for accessing the DYABOLA Web Version. Single Customers and smaller institutions are able to access the content via the key password. Big institutions can use the databases via IP access. Here every computer of the institute has access to DYABOLA as long as it uses the registered gateway server of the institute.

1. Start your web browser and surf to www.db.dyabola.de.



2. When accessing the first time with your official key-password you should execute the function "delete Your current key" to make sure, that there is no demo key on your computer with which you cannot access all databases you have paid for. After clicking on "delete Your current key" some browsers show the following dialogue. Confirm by clicking "OK" (when needed two times).



3. If you want to access via key password, continue with article 4. If you want to access via IP adress, continue with article 5.

4. Key Password Access: Click "Start". A window appears where you enter your key and afterwards press OK.



After pressing OK some browsers like to have another confirmation. Press OK again.



Now you can choose the database you like to access (continue with article 6)
Once you've entered the key-password, it can be saved in a cookie depending on the settings of your browser. You do not have to enter the password each time. If you have to enter the key each time you log in, the cookie-settings of your browser aren't correct or somebody has executed the function "delete Your current key". Advice for Administrators: We recommend using Netscape 6.1. This browser can remember passwords in combination with the url.

5. Before accessing DYABOLA via IP adress Biering & Brinkmann has to register the IP adress (single or range) of the institutes own gateway server(s). The Institute has to guarantee, that only memers of the institute can access the internet with this gateway. If for example all Institutes of a University are able to access the internet via this gateway, the institute has to buy a campus licence.
Members of the institute, who cannot access the internet via the gateway, because they are for example on exvacation and therefore use a local dial-in connection, cannot access DYABOLA via IP adress. They can access DYABOLA via key-password, which they get from the institutes system administrator. It is strictly forbidden to use the key-password on a computer which is not property of the institution. Violation will be prosecuted.
After registering of the gateays IP adress at Biering & Brinkmann you just have to activate the checkbox "IP-Validation" on the entry screen.




6. After pressing "Start", you can choose one of your databases and your preferred language. After pressing "Start" again, you can start your retrival immediatly.


Installation: CD-ROM 2001

An all new developed installation program is included in delivery since the august 2001 release of the Subject Cataogues. The main change is, that the program dya.exe has not to be personalized to each customer. Therefore a license file named "license.dya" is included in the installation process. If you are already a DYABOLA customer the license file is created from coded information on the CD after entering your personal key password. If you are a new customer to one or more databases the license file will be separately delivered.
IMPORTANT: If you are customer of more than one database CD-ROMs (e.g. Subject Catalogues and CENSUS), we strong recommend installing the databases in order of publishing date. So you can be sure of always using the newest software version.
Please perform the following steps in the new installation program (Subject Catalogues August 2001):

1. At first open the delivered data CD for e.g. with the windows explorer and start the program install(.exe) by double-click



2. An installation dialogue opens, in which you can change some settings.



3. The first Option "Select a folder for database to install" lets you choose the preferred hard disk for installing DYABOLA. The default disk is C:. If you are content with this, you may continue with article 4.
If you like to install DYABOLA on another hard disk, for e.g. because of missing hard disk space on C:, click "browse". Another dialogue opens, which lets you navigate to the preferred location on your computer. On the one hand you may choose an existing Folder "dya" on another hard disk, on the other hand you may also create a new one. In the latter case please do not forget to open the new folder. If the dialogue is equivalent to the picture below, press "Speichern" or "Save" and continue with article 4.



4. If you are not a new customer to one of our databases you can enter your key-password, included in delivery, in the field "Enter your key". The key is very case sensitive. You may press install now and continue with article 7. The license file will be created from coded information on the CD now.



5. If you have bought your first or an additional database check the box "Use separate license file" and press "install".



6. A dialogue is opening, where you can choose the location of the license file "license.dya" which was seperately delivered via e-mail or disk. Navigate to the delivered file and press "Öffnen" or "Open"
Es öffnet sich ein Dialog, in dem Sie eine separat gelieferte Lizenz-Datei auswählen können, die sie entweder per E-Mail oder auf einer Diskette erhalten haben. Navigieren Sie zu der gelieferten Datei und drücken Sie "Öffnen".



7. A message appears, which tells you how much space on your hard disk the databases will consume on your hard disk when installed. If you are content with the message press OK.



8. On the bottom of the installation dialogue you can see the progress of installation for each database.



9. After completion the message "Installation ok" appears and you may press "close".



The main part of the installation has finished now and you may start the program in the folder you have choosen at the beginning (e.g. c:\dya). If you are customer of image databases program starts with "Dyastart(.exe)" if you only have non-image databases it starts with the batch "D(.bat)". If you have further questions, please have a look into the next chapter "Optimizing Installation ". Here you find solutions for the following issues: strange characters; display settings in Windows 2000; startup language; message "startpif not correct". If the program starts without problems, continue with the chapter "Starting the Program".


Installation CD-ROM until 2000

Installation under Windows NT 4.0
Automatic installation is not planned at present, as you only have to copy the files contained on the installation diskette onto your hard disk. The Install.bat on the installation diskette is only for the DOS installation and does not support picture display. Free configuration of the DOS box is not possible under Windows 95/98. Since this constantly leads to problems which can only be solved by the system manufacturer (Microsoft), we are unfortunately unable to provide support here.

1. Copy the complete subdirectory "dya" from your installation diskette to the desired hard disk (e.g. D:). The subdirectory on your hard disk should now contain the following files:

D:\dya\dyabola\
D:\dya\dyazchn\allezchn.txt
D:\dya\dyazchn\dya16
D:\dya\dyazchn\dya16.f16
D:\dya\autoexmy.nt
D:\dya\brequest.exe
D:\dya\btrieve.exe
D:\dya\butil.exe
D:\dya\d.bat
D:\dya\dya.exe
D:\dya\dyastart
D:\dya\dya.txt
D:\dya\dya_2.txt
D:\dya\dya_3.txt
D:\dya\dya_4.txt
D:\dya\help.txt
D:\dya\help_e.txt
D:\dya\help_f.txt
D:\dya\help_i.txt
D:\dya\startdya

2. Please copy the files from the program CDs to your hard disk. It is important that the text files of the database are located in the same subdirectory as the program files already copied. The picture files can be located on any other hard disk, but must have the same directory tree here too. After copying, the subdirectory "D:\dya\dyabola" looks like this:

...\dya_????\id.btr
...\dya_????\id.txt
...\dya_????\ex\best.btr
...\dya_????\ex\best.ext
...\dya_????\ex\dya.btr
...\dya_????\ex\dya.ext
...\dya_????\ex\key.btr
...\dya_????\ex\Stichw.btr
...\dya_????\tiff768\00\00\**\*.*



As already stated, the subdirectories under \dya\dyabola\dya_????\tiff768\00\00\... can be located on any other hard disk, but must always have the same directory tree. (The question marks in "dya_????" stand for the respective database, e.g. "dya_grab" for the "Attic Grave Reliefs" or "dya_cen" for the "Census")
Once you have copied the files to the right place, you can try starting the program. Please refer to the section "Starting the Program". If this attempt should fail, please continue with the section "Optimizing Installation".



Automatic installation of the CD-ROM (DOS)
Start MS-DOS on your computer. Insert the program diskette into the floppy drive of your computer. Then change to the floppy drive:

 A: <Return>

and start the installation

 install  <Return>

The following window appears:

Welcome to the installation of Dyabola x.x! 
This program will install Dyabola x.x on your hard- 
disk. The installation may last up to 60 min. 
«Return» = Ok       «ESC» = Cancel 

Now press the return key. The first selection menu appears:

There are two possibilities to use the database(s).  
Please enter your choice and press «Return».  

1   Copying the database(s) on your hard-disk  
2   Direct use of the database(s) from CD-ROM  

«Return» = Ok      «ESC» = Cancel

Answer the question whether you wish to copy the database onto your hard disk (1) or whether you want to research directly on the CD-ROM (2). Type in the appropriate number and then press the return key. (Please note that searches of the DYABOLA databases run more quickly from the hard disk than from the CD-ROM). If you have selected number 1 (copy to hard disk), the following selection menu appears:

Please select the database(s) you want to install  
on hard disk.  
Enter the number(s) and press «Return».  

1   Census of Antique Art and Architecture known... 
2   Römisch-Germanische Komission Frankfurt  
3   Realkatalog des DAI Rom  
4   Zugangsverzeichnis DAI Madrid  
5   Archäologische Jahresbibliographie 199.. 
.....  

«Return» = Ok       «ESC» = Cancel 

Again enter the appropriate numbers in order to select the desired databases. You can now press several numbers consecutively. (But please note that you will later only be able to call up those databases to which you have actually subscribed). In the next window, you will be asked for the letter of the floppy drive containing the program diskette:

Please enter the source-drive of the program-disk  
and press «Return».  

Source-drive of the program-disk   A:  

«Return» = Ok      «ESC» = Cancel 

Enter "a" or "b" and press the return key to continue. If you have selected to copy data onto your hard disk, you will be asked in the next window for the drive letter of the source drive, i.e. the drive containing the CD-ROM with the data:

Please enter the source-drive of the databases (on CD)  
and press «Return».  

Source-drive of the databases (CD-ROM)   D:  

«Return» = Ok       «ESC» = Cancel

Enter the appropriate letter ("d", "e" etc.) and continue by pressing the return key. In the next window, you will finally be asked for the target drive, in other words the hard disk to which you wish to copy the data:

Please enter the target-drive and press «Return».  

Install on (target-drive)  C:  

«Return» = Ok       «ESC» = Cancel 

Enter the appropriate letter ("c", "d" etc.) and continue by pressing the return key. As a very last step, you have the opportunity to select your printer port:  

Please select your printer-port:  

1   Printer is connected to LPT1  
2   Printer is connected to LPT2  

Please enter your choice and press «Return».  

«Return» = Ok       «ESC» = Cancel

In most cases, you will select the computer's default port LPT1 (1) and press the return key. If everything is correct, the following message will appear:

Installing database, please wait...  
(don't panic – installation may last up to 60 min.) 

When you run the automatic installation, a log file (inst.log) is written. If the program doesn't run when you call it up, please send us a printout of this log file, which you will find in the C:\ directory as well as in the subdirectory C:\dya\dyabola\dya_...\, along with printouts of your computer's autoexec.bat and config.sys.
Please refer to the section "Starting the Program". If your attempt to start the program should fail, please continue with the section "Problems and Tips".

Manual installation (DOS)
1. Create the following structure of subdirectories on the disk drive on which you wish to install DYABOLA:

:\dya  
:\dya\dyabola  
:\dya\dyazchn  
:\dya\dyabola\dya_????  
:\dya\dyabola\dya_????\ex 
 
2. Copy from the program diskette:

A:\dya\*.*  
nach :\dya\ 
 
3. Copy from the program diskette:

A:\dya\dyazchn\*.*  
nach :\dya\dyazchn
 
4. Copy from the CD-ROM:

A:\dya\dyabola\dya_cen\*.*  
nach : \dya\dyabola\dya_cen\
 
5. Copy from the CD-ROM:

A:\dya\dyabola\dya_cen\ex\*.*  
nach : \dya\dyabola\dya_cen\ex\ 

6. Create the following batch file in the root of your hard disk:  

echo   off  
lh smartdrv.exe  
cd   \dya  
btrieve   /P:2048  
dya   /L1   /P3=1 /A /DC:\dya /ICDE  
butil  -stop 

(If you are installing DYABOLA on a Novell network, replace "btrieve /P:2048" with "brequest"). /ICDE means that the pictures are distributed over drives C:, D: and E: (adapt to your configuration as required).
Please refer to the section "Starting the Program". If your attempt to start the program should fail, please continue with the section "Problems and Tips".




IMPORTANT for clients of subject catalogue AND picture database!
Clients who have installed both a DYABOLA literature database (e.g. subject catalogues) and a picture database (e.g. Grave Reliefs, Census) should under no circumstances use the INSTALL.EXE supplied with the update. This file changes the patch D.BAT generated for your computer. This will result in the picture databases no longer functioning correctly. The installed picture databases require the d.bat that is already present.
You have the following two options for installing the databases together:

First option (simple):

1. Rename the "d.bat" file in your subdirectory "dya\" and call it, for example, "d_old.bat".

2. Insert the installation diskette of the update and execute the file "install.exe" as normal. Follow the instructions on the screen. Please do not start the database after completing installation, but continue with the third step.

3. Delete the file "d.bat" newly created by the automatic installation in the subdirectory "dya\" and return the name of the file you previously called "d_old.bat" to "d.bat". The program should now start as intended. All databases are now available in the database selection and the picture display functions properly. If you should have further problems, please contact us.


Second option (manual):

1. From your update, you require the program file "dya\dya.exe" and the subdirectory "dya\dyazchn\". You will find both on the diskette supplied. Copy these files, for example with Windows Explorer, to the appropriate subdirectory on your hard disk.

2. Copy the databases to which you have subscribed from the subdirectory "dya\dyabola" on the CD to the appropriate subdirectory on your hard disk. The subdirectories have the following meanings:

dya_rom Subject Catalogue DAI-Rome
dya_r98 Arch. Bibliography 98
dya_rgk Subject Catalogue RGK
dya_mad Aquisitions DAI Madrid

There is no point in copying databases onto your hard disk if you don't have a licence for them, as the program file dya.exe is personalised for you. They would only take up unnecessary space on your hard disk. The program should now start as intended. All databases are now available in the database selection and the picture display functions properly. If you should have further problems, please contact us.
