*** EDITS is also available on the Internet *** The latest EDITS software can be obtained: * on the World Wide Web at www.naaccr.org * by anonymous FTP at ftp.cdc.gov, path /pub/Software/EDITS. *** Installing EDITS *** The files described here are used to install the EDITS System along with the NAACCR and SEER metafiles of cancer registry edits. You will need to download INSTALL.EXE, DISK1.EXE, DISK2.EXE, and DISK3.EXE. You can install these files in 2 ways: 1. Automatic install using INSTALL.EXE will prompt you for an EDITS directory (C:\EDITS is the default). To use this, you will need three 1.44MB diskettes. Copy INSTALL.EXE and DISK1.EXE to disk 1. Copy DISK2.EXE to disk 2, and DISK3.EXE to disk 3. Put disk 1 in drive A and type A:INSTALL The install program will prompt you for the rest of the installation. 2. Manual installation without INSTALL.EXE (requires no diskettes) To use this, create a directory on your hard disk for EDITS (example command: MD\EDITS). Copy the DISK1.EXE, DISK2.EXE and DISK3.EXE files into the EDITS directory (example command: COPY DISK?.EXE \EDITS) Change to the EDITS directory. (example command: CD\EDITS) Run the three DISKn.EXE files to extract the EDITS software and associated files. (example command: DISK1) Note that this installation does not modify your CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT files. If you encounter difficulty running EditWriter or GenEDITS, refer to Getting Started with EDITS or call technical support. Technical support for the EDITS system is available from CDC via E-mail and phone. Phone: (770) 488-4227 Fax: (770) 488-4639 E-mail: EDITS@ccdcpc1.em.cdc.gov
