STUREC© Utilities for Windows NT

If you are having problems running STUREC© on Windows NT/2000/XP, or the 'External Printer Interface' won't work, please download and install these small helper programs.

These utilities are installed just like the regular STUREC© updates -- with the obvious exception of a different file name.

Before you begin:

This utility package contains a file called STUREC.BAT If there is already a file called sturec.bat in the STUREC© folder, you should make a backup of that file before proceeding.

Step 1: Verify STUREC's location

Before you even begin the download, make sure you know where your STUREC© is located in your computer system! To find out, start STUREC© in the normal manner. With the Main Menu on the screen, press Alt-V to pop-up the Version Info screen. It should look like this.

Make a note of the Default Directory then press <space> to close the pop-up.

Step 2: Download the software

Click here to begin the download. A moment or two later, you should see the standard Save As... dialog (you may have to select "Save File" from an intermediary dialog first), 

You need to navigate the Save As... dialog box to the correct drive and folder containing STUREC© Default Directory as you noted above, or a floppy disk. 

Step 3: Run the Installer

Open the 'My Computer' icon and navigate to the folder where STUREC© is installed.

Once the correct folder is open, find the ntutils file and double-click it.

Step 4: Create a new shortcut

Refresh the file listing, and find the STUREC.bat file.

Using the Right mouse button, drag the STUREC.bat file out to a clear area of your Windows Desktop, and release the mouse button. Select 'Create Shortcut Here' from the pop-up menu.

Done!

From now on, use the new icon to launch STUREC© The old icon can be safely dropped in the 'Recycle Bin'.
