I know of two solutions to the Daybook install problem.  One is to remove
SHARE.EXE as has been previously mentioned.  The other is to copy both
Daybook disks (3.5 inch.  I don't know if there are two 5.25 inch disks.)
to a temporary directory on your hard disk and run the installation from
there.

SHARE.EXE has caused me so many problems that I have permanently done
away with it.  I don't think I use any programs that use FCBs.  (What's
the symbol for crossed fingers?)

The question is, after starting Daybook, making coffee, reading the
newspaper...  Has anybody out there used Toolbook?  Do you have to
put up with those interminable startup displays?  Can you create applications
that run reasonably quickly?

Given the installation problems and the initial performance impression
that Daybook makes, I think Asymetrix has done a poor job of introducing
their product.
