Files in the Microsoft Project Package
Microsoft Project is available in three disk configurations:

Configuration Type of disks ————- ————-

1.2 MB 5.25-inch high-density (1.2 MB) disks 720K 3.5-inch double-sided (720K) disks 360K 5.25-inch low-density (360K) disks

Your Microsoft Project package includes both the 1.2 MB and the 720K configurations. The 360K configuration is available only by returning the coupon in your Microsoft Project package.

Compressed Files
Most of the Microsoft Project files are in a compressed form to save disk space. When you run the Setup program, Setup automatically decompresses the files. However, if for some reason you want to manually decompress a file, Microsoft has provided a program called DECOMP.EXE on the Setup Disk (1.2 MB) and the Build Disk (720K), which will decompress files for you.

Compressed files are identified with a special filename extension in the form ''.CP? where &quot;''&quot; is the filename and “?” is a letter indicating the filename extension for the decompressed version of the file.

To copy and decompress a file manually, do the following:

  Copy the program DECOMP.EXE from the Microsoft Project Setup Disk to the Microsoft Project directory on your hard disk.   Type DECOMP [filename] [destination] Replace [filename] with the name of the compressed file; replace [destination] with the location where you want the decompressed file placed. The DECOMP program copies the compressed file from the Microsoft Project disk to your hard disk, decompresses the file, and adds the correct filename extension. For example, to decompress WINPROJ.CPE (the Microsoft Project program file), which is on a disk in Drive A, and place it in the WINDOWS directory on Drive C, you would type the following at the DOS prompt and press ENTER: DECOMP A:.CPE C:.EXE 

If you have trouble manually decompressing files, run the Setup program from the Setup Disk; the decompression is then done automatically.

List of Microsoft Project Files
The following table lists all Microsoft Project files on the disks in the Microsoft Project package. Files are grouped by function. File distribution is different for each disk configurations (1.2 MB, 720K, 360K). The compressed filename extensions are shown below, with the decompressed filename noted if different than the compressed filename.

NOTE: Files marked with an asterisk (*) indicate files required to run Microsoft Project.
