--- Supported Windows Configuration

ObjectStore ATK 6.0 is supported for the following hardware, NT version,
and ObjectStore client configuration:
 Windows NT 4.0, ObjectStore 6.0
 OLE-DB 1.5 or later, MS-ADO 1.5 or later

Note that ATK 6.0 is compatible with ObjectStore 6.0 database format only. Earlier ObjectStore database formats are not supported.


---Installing ObjectStore ATK 

To install ObjectStore ATK, access the CDROM device and install 
the software as follows:

 1. Insert the ATK CDROM into your CDROM drive.
 2. From the root directory of the CDROM, run SETUP.EXE.
 3. Follow the instructions provided by the installation wizard.


--- Documentation

ATK 6.0 comes with an online reference guide and tutorial, in both HTML and
PDF formats. You can access the online documentation through the Task Bar, or by
browsing the odi\ATK6.0\Docs directory.


--- Sample Code

The odi\ATK6.0\Examples directory provides a variety of ATK source code and
tutorial examples.

The installation program copies the ASP examples from the directory
ATK6.0\Examples\aspSamples into your InetPub\ASPSamp\ATK directory (or
InetPub\IISSamples\ATK depending on the IIS version you are running). 
In this way you can run the ATK ASP samples as soon as the installation
process is complete.



--- ObjectStore Client

During installation and operation, ObjectStore ATK requires
access to an ObjectStore client and a compatible ObjectStore Server.
  
ObjectStore ATK is compatible with ObjectStore 6.0 clients.
You can use an existing ObjectStore installation if you want, as long
as it is at the correct release level. You can determine the version
of ObjectStore running on a specific machine with the osversion command.


--- ObjectStore Server

The installation program, by default, configures ObjectStore ATK
to work with a local ObjectStore Server (a Server that is running
on the computer on which you are performing the installation).
If an ObjectStore Server is running locally, the installation program
displays a message indicating that the ObjectStore Server was found,
and that ObjectStore ATK was configured to use it.


--- Uninstalling

You should uninstall any previously installed version of ATK before 
reinstalling the same version or a new version of the product.

To uninstall ATK 6.0:
1. Open the Control Panel window.
2. Double click on the Add/Remove icon.
3. Select ObjectStore ATK 6.0.
