The first thing to do is MAKE A BACKUP COPY of everything on the distribution disk. This should be done on another floppy or to a directory on your hard disk. The main program is then called up by entering HELLO A series of help is available from within the system. ************************************** Some people have noted that when they call up the printer menu an error message "Error opening file : A:PRINTMEM.MEM !" appears. This is caused by not including a CONFIG.SYS file that includes the lines FILES=12 and BUFFERS=8 when you boot up your machine. If you are confused by the above line then follow these simple steps to set up your working disk: For a Dual floppy system. 1) Format a blank floppy using the FORMAT /S command. This will put the operating system on the disk. 2) Copy the files from this disk to the new blank via COPY A:*.* B: 3) Reboot the system with the backup in drive A: 4) Run HELLO. For a Hard disk system. 1) Go to the root directory via a CD\ command. 2) Look for a CONFIG.SYS file via DIR CONFIG.SYS If there isn't one, copy the CONFIG.SYS from this disk (COPY A:CONFIG.SYS) If there is one, add the lines FILES=12 and BUFFERS=8 if it isn't there (of course if there is a FILES=16 or any number bigger than 12 then you are ok). 3) Create a subdirectory for Labelmaster via MD \LM 4) CD \LM 5) Copy the files from this disk via COPY A:*.* 6) Reboot the computer (Ctrl-Alt-Del) 7) Run HELLO. I sure hope this is clear. See your DOS manual for an explanation of CONFIG.SYS, FILES=12 and BUFFERS=8.
