Everything you wanted to know about downloading and upgrading EASE

EASE Minor upgrade A "Minor" upgrade (an update) is one where the letter or number at the end changes.  A minor upgrade fixes bugs or problems in earlier versions, and occasionally adds new features or improves the functionality of the program.
Examples:
        v4.19s to v4.19v
        v4.20ß19 to v4.20.35

EASE Major upgrade A "Major" upgrade is one where the number immediately after the (first) decimal point changes.  A major upgrade indicates that the program has been significantly improved over the previous version, adding even more features, tools, and functionality. Example:
        v4.17 to v4.20

All minor updates are free.  All major upgrades incur an upgrade fee.

How do I install an upgrade?

All downloads are compressed using PKZIP.  This compressed files should be downloaded into your EASE directory and then decompressed using PKUNZIP.  The format for decompressing a ZIPed file is:

PKUNZIP <filename> -o
If your EASE program is installed on a different computer, save the downloaded files to floppy disks, then install them on the computer that EASE is on by typing:
PKUNZIP A:<filename> -o
Note: The dash and the letter "o" at the end of the command tells PKUNZIP to automatically overwrite any existing program files.  Be sure to include a <space> between the filename and the '-o'.

Why can't I just download the latest upgrade and install it?

All recent versions of EASE require an activation key (MODULES file) to run.  If you download a major upgrade and you don't have the correct MODULES file, it will not run!

Is EASE Y2K-compliant?

EASE v4.20 is Y2K-compliant.  All previous versions are not, and will give an error message when you try to enter a date in the year 2000 or later.

Click here to send an e-mail message to order v4.20.  Be sure to include your church name, address, city, state and User ID number in the message!

I'm having trouble downloading the EASE program files.

If you haven't done so already, you might want to install a 'download manager' such as Go!Zilla.  It has the ability to resume interrupted downloads, and to schedule downloads for a time when the computer isn't so busy.

Downloading and installing the free EASE demo program

At this time, there isn't an automated installation procedure that will allow you to download just one file and execute it to install EASE.  You will have to perform each of the following steps to download and install EASE on your computer:

  1. If you have not done so already, you must register as a trial userClick here to register!

  2. Create a directory (folder) on your hard drive called EASE.  Make it a root-level directory, NOT a subdirectory of some other directory such as "Program Files".

  3. Create the following subdirectories under the EASE directory:
    DATA
    PRACTICE
    MANUAL

  4. Download the following files and save them in the EASE directory:
    420-1.zip
    420-2.zip
    zipfiles.exe
    UNZIPIT.BAT

    Note: Some browsers try to either execute or display UNZIPIT.BAT when you left-click on it instead of downloading it.  If that happens, click on the 'Back' button on your browser, then right-click on UNZIPIT.BAT and select 'Save link as' from the resulting menu.

    If you wish to install EASE on a different computer than the one you download files on, save these files to floppy disks.  You will need one disk for 420-1.zip, one for 420-2.zip, and one for all the other files.

  5. You now need to download the denomination-specific files.  Select your denomination from the following table, click on each filename in the correct row for your denomination and save it in the specified directory, or on the floppy disk you saved zipfiles.exe and UNZIPIT.BAT on:

    Denomination DATA PRACTICE MANUAL
    Baptist DATAX.ZIP PRACTICE.ZIP MANUAL_G.ZIP
    Episcopal DATAX.ZIP PRACTICE.ZIP MANUAL_E.ZIP
    Evangelical
    Lutheran
    (ELCA)
    DATAX.ZIP PRACTICE.ZIP MANUAL_A.ZIP
    Lutheran
    (Missouri
    Synod)
    DATAX.ZIP PRACTICE.ZIP MANUAL_L.ZIP
    Methodist DATAX.ZIP PRACTICE.ZIP MANUAL_M.ZIP
    Presbyterian DATAX.ZIP PRACTICE.ZIP MANUAL_P.ZIP
    Generic DATAX.ZIP PRACTICE.ZIP MANUAL_G.ZIP

  6. If you saved the downloaded files on floppy disks, take them to the computer you want to install EASE on and copy them into the correct directories on your hard disk.

  7. Now go to a DOS prompt and type the following commands:
    CD \EASE
    UNZIPIT
  8. If you are running Win95/98/NT, type EXIT to exit from the DOS prompt.  You should now have an EASE icon on your desktop.  Click on it to start EASE.

  9. If you are NOT running Win95/98/NT, type START to start the EASE program.

If you have problems downloading or installing the EASE program, Click here to send an e-mail message, or call Sam Hills at (504) 649-2757 and I will be happy to help in any way required.

Downloading Version 4.20.35 Update files
Including the Year-2000 (Y2K) update

Important
If you intend to continue using EASE and have not yet downloaded v4.20, you should consider doing so NOW!
Earlier versions of EASE are NOT Y2K-compliant!

Just click on the following two hotlinks to download EASE v4.20.35:

Spinning disk Part 1: File name: 420-1.ZIP
Part 2: File name: 420-2.ZIP
File date: 4/27/00
If you want to install the update on the same computer you download it on, save the two update files in your C:\EASE directory.  If you want to install the update on a different computer than the one your downloaded it on, save the two update files to floppy disks.

Important note: This update is in 2 parts so that you can use floppy disks to move it from one computer to another if you need to.  You MUST download BOTH parts and unZIP them into your EASE directory to update EASE to v4.20.35.  If you download and unZIP only one part, your EASE program will be incomplete and won't work any more.

Once you have downloaded the update, please send an e-mail to tech@bbll.com to let me know you have the latest update, so I can keep my records up-to-date.  Be sure to include your church name, address, city and state, and your customer ID number.

After the download is completed, go to your DOS prompt to install the update:

  1. If you are running Windows 95, 98, NT or 2000, press the <Start> button, then select 'Programs', then 'MS-DOS Prompt'.
  2. If you are running Windows 3.x, hold down the <Alt> key and press the <F4> key to exit Windows.
  3. If you are running a DOS menu program, select 'MS-DOS Prompt' or 'Exit'.
Change to the EASE directory by typing  CD \EASE  and press <Enter>.
Your prompt should say 'C:\EASE>'.

Delete the prior EASE program files from your hard disk by typing:

DEL *.CHN
DEL *.COM
DEL *.TXT
If you saved the update files in your EASE directory, decompress the downloaded files by typing
PKUNZIP 420-? -o
The dash and the letter "o" at the end of the command provide for automatic overwriting of existing program files.  Be sure to include a <space> between the filename and the '-o'.

If you saved the two downloaded files to floppy disks instead of the EASE directory, insert the first floppy disk and unZIP it into your EASE directory by typing the following command:

PKUNZIP A:420-? -o
The dash and the letter "o" at the end of the command provide for automatic overwriting of existing program files.  Be sure to include a <space> between the filename and the '-o'.

When the PKUNZIP command finishes, remove the first disk, insert the second disk and press the <F3> key to repeat the PKUNZIP command for the second disk.

If you need help downloading or installing the EASE v4.20 update, you may contact EASE technical support by sending e-mail to tech@bbll.com.

Downloading Version 4.20 Manual files

The EASE v4.20 manual is available for downloading.  You will need WordPerfect v5.1 or later, or any other word-processing program that can read WordPerfect 5.1 files in order to view and print the EASE v4.20 manual.

There are 6 different versions of the EASE v4.20 manual available, depending on your denomination.  Select the correct file for your denomination from the following list:

File name Denomination
Spinning disk MANUAL_E.ZIP Episcopal
Spinning disk MANUAL_A.ZIP Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA)
Spinning disk MANUAL_L.ZIP Lutheran - Missouri Synod (LCMS)
Spinning disk MANUAL_M.ZIP Methodist (UMC)
Spinning disk MANUAL_P.ZIP Presbyterian (PCUSA)
Spinning disk MANUAL_G.ZIP All others (No annual report)

Please help me keep my records up-to-date.  If you download files from this Web Site, please send me an e-mail letting me know that you are using a new release of EASE.  The e-mail message should contain your name, church name, city and state, and your customer ID number.  To e-mail me click here now -> send e-mail message

When downloading the manual, a file will be sent to your computer.  This file should be downloaded into a subdirectory of the C:\EASE directory called C:\EASE\MANUAL.  This file is a compressed file that contains the EASE manual files.

If you have not yet created a C:\EASE\MANUAL subdirectory, you must first create one by going to a DOS prompt and typing the following commands:

CD \EASE
MD MANUAL

After the download is completed and the .ZIP file is saved in the C:\EASE\MANUAL directory, go to your DOS prompt and change to the C:\EASE\MANUAL directory by typing  CD \EASE\MANUAL and press <Enter>.

Your prompt should say 'C:\EASE\MANUAL'. You must now decompress the downloaded file by typing

DEL *.WP5
..\PKUNZIP MANUAL -o
The two periods at the beginning of the command tell the computer to look for the PKUNZIP program in the parent directory of the current directory (C:\EASE>), and the dash and the letter "o" at the end of the command provides for automatic overwriting of existing files.  Be sure to include a <space> between the filename and the '-o'.

If you download the manual files to a different computer than the one that EASE is installed on, save the downloaded file to a floppy disk instead of the EASE\MANUAL directory.  Then install them on your EASE computer by typing the following commands:

CD \EASE\MANUAL
DEL *.WP5
..\PKUNZIP A:MANUAL_? -o
The two periods at the beginning of the command tell the computer to look for the PKUNZIP program in the parent directory of the current directory (C:\EASE>), and the dash and the letter "o" at the end of the command provides for automatic overwriting of existing files.  Be sure to include a <space> between the filename and the '-o'.

You can now access the manual by typing:

WP MANUAL.WP5
to open the Master Document in WordPerfect.

To expand the complete manual for printing, press <Alt-F5>, then 6, then 3.  You can then either print manual on your printer by pressing <Shift-F7>, or just view it on the screen.

In addition to the above, you can view or print each individual chapter by typing WP followed by the filename of the chapter you want to view or print.

Please consult the manual for your word processor for more information on viewing or printing documents.

If you need help downloading or printing the EASE v4.20 manual, you may contact EASE technical support by sending e-mail to tech@bbll.com.

Note: Make sure your printer is on and then press the print button on your browser to print a copy of these instructions.
