These are notes for installing “Relating Graphs to Events”, PC Version 2.

System requirements:

“Relating Graphs to Events” needs about 100KB of disk space if “Green Globs” or 
“Escape!” is already installed.  (The programs share the same Visual Basic 6 run-time 
support files.)

“Relating Graphs to Events” needs less than 3 MB of disk space otherwise.

You need a monitor with screen resolution at least 1024 by 768.  The graphing displays 
in Relating Graphs.exe use most of a 1024 by 768 screen.  These windows assume a 
display DPI setting of “Normal” (96 DPI), which is the default.  (In Windows XP, you see 
the DPI setting by choosing Control Panel – Display – Settings – Advanced – General.)  
If you need a screen resolution or DPI setting which the current program does not 
display well, contact us.

Files:

You need two files to install this software:

“PC Relating Graphs to Events.zip” – a compressed file that can be downloaded from 
the updates page of www.greenglobs.net.  It contains the application file “Relating 
Graphs.exe” and associated run-time support files.

“Green Globs Records.ggg” (or any copy) - a document file that contains your 
individual license information.  “Relating Graphs.exe” will not run unless you put a 
copy of “Green Globs Records.ggg” in the same folder as “Relating Graphs.exe”.

“PC Relating Graphs to Events.zip” also includes these two files:

“Read Me Install Relating Graphs to Events.txt” - a text file about installing the PC 
version.

“Manual for Relating Graphs to Events.pdf”  - a teacher’s manual for both the PC and 
the Mac version.  

The above two files are available without running the installation program.  The 
installer does not do anything with them.  You can copy them like other files in 
Windows to another folder.  (If you want, you can copy them to the same folder you 
designate for the installer.)

Installing “Relating Graphs to Events” is a two-step process:

Step 1.  Run file “setup.exe”.

You will be asked to select or create a folder where you want the installation program to 
place Relating Graphs.exe.  Relating Graphs.exe will run in any folder, as long as a 
copy of Green Globs Records.ggg is put in the same folder (see Step 2 below).  The 
remaining files in the package are support files for running Relating Graphs.exe, 
which is a Visual Basic 6 (32-bit) application.  The installation program will 
automatically place those support files in the appropriate Windows or System folders, if 
needed.  (File SETUP.LST lists where each file goes.)  The installation program will not 
replace an existing file on your disk with an older version.

After this step, you will have these two files in the folder you designated during 
installation:

Relating Graphs.exe - an application file whose title screen says “Relating Graphs to 
Events”.  

ST6UNST.LOG – a text file created automatically by the installation program during 
installation to record which files were installed in which folders.  It is used by the 
Windows Control Panel if you uninstall  “Relating Graphs to Events”.  (If the folder 
already had a file with that name from installing previous applications, the file name 
will be ST6UNST.000 or ST6UNST.001, etc.)


Step 2.  Copy your file “Green Globs Records.ggg” to the same folder where you 
installed Relating Graphs.exe. 

“Green Globs Records.ggg” is a document file (called a Records file) that contains your 
license information displayed on the title screen.   Relating Graphs.exe reads your 
license information from this file, but does not write to it.

Installation is complete.  To uninstall Relating Graphs.exe, open the Windows Control 
Panel and select “Add or Remove Programs”, then select “Relating Graphs to Events”.  
If you put a copy of “Green Globs Records.ggg” in the folder where Relating 
Graphs.exe was installed, you will need to delete “Green Globs Records.ggg” 
afterwards if you want it removed.

A special note if you are installing more than one application to be placed in the 
“Green Globs” group on the Start menu:  in Windows XP (and maybe in other versions 
of Windows), the Start menu may not list the files in the “Green Globs” group in the 
order you installed them.  If you want the files to be listed in the order you installed 
them, it appears that you can get that by selecting each application from the Start 
menu immediately after you install the application, before you install the next 
application in the “Green Globs” group.
