clicking this logo.
Download Instructions:
Installing the program is now just a two step process, downloading the self extracting / self installing file and running the downloaded file. You may want to print this page for reference use during the installation process.
Downloading the self-extracting / self running file
Click on the above link and use the "Save as" or "Copy file.. option and save the file to your desktop. If you prefer to save the installation file to a new folder see instructions below on creating a new folder directly from the save as window. During the installation process you will have to go to this folder instead of clicking on a desktop icon.
Downloading the file may take some time depending on your internet connection speed. At 4 Kbytes per second it will take at least 30 minutes.
Installing the program
<
Installation Icon
When the installation program starts, selecting the defaults (Select "Next" at each screen) will work fine and produce a standard installation.
The installation program installs the program, the Borland Database Engine and places the K9-Ped icon on the desktop. When the installation is complete you can right click on the installation icon and select delete.
If you have downloaded the "empty" demo to use a different breed unzip the breed file into the c:\k9ped\backup folder AFTER the installation and BEFORE you run the program for the first time.
Double-click on the K9-Ped icon to run the program. Until you are a registered user you will see a message indicating that your use is limited to the sample database. Click OK and the program will continue to load.
The first time you run the program you will be prompted to select the demo database you wish to use.
Getting your User Code Number:
K9-Ped is user code protected. Without the proper user code you are restricted to using the sample database with no deletions and limited additions.
Your system ID # can be found by selecting "Help" from the menu at the top of the program window and selecting "About". If you have purchased the program or are a beta test site, send this number to jim@azdogs.com . You will receive your unique user code # by return e-mail. Your code will only work with your system.
Special instructions for updating very old versions
Due to a database structure change for breeding information, the programs downloaded prior to 14 November 2000 cannot be updated by just downloading a new version of the program. If your version of the program is over fifteen months old you will need to Back up your data. Then rename the k9ped folder to k9pedx. Download and re-install the program. Restore your data and delete the k9pedx folder.
The latest version of the program includes many new features and improved help files. If you are not comfortable using an un-zip program or do not have an "unzip" program you should use the Self Extracting file. Save the self extracting file to the desktop and double click it for an automatic upgrade. If you use the zip file it should be extracted to the c:\k9ped folder (or the folder containing the k9ped program if you did not do a default install) with "Overwrite all files" selected.
NOTE: You will need to download and run the breedpic.exe file to use the "One Paw Bandit" game. You only need to do this one time.
If you need a copy of an un-zip program for windows you can download a trial version of WinZip by clicking here.
