ABOUT INSTALLING SAIL:
(1) EXECUTION ENVIRONMENT
When running SAIL from a hard disk, or from a floppy disk that has been
divided into subdirectories, you must set the execution environment so
that (1) SAIL can be run from any subdirectory of that disk and (2) so
that SAIL can find its help and startup files.
1. Define the path so that SAIL can be executed in any subdirectory.
Assuming that SAIL.EXE will be in the \SAIL directory,
add the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
set PATH=c:\sail
2. Define the SAIL home directory.
Assuming that the SAIL help file, SAILHELP.EXE, and the
autostart record, SAIL.SET, will be in the \SAIL
directory, add the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT
file.
set PORT=\sail
In addition, read about the PATH command and about environment variables
in your DOS manual.
(2) COMMAND INTERPRETER
SAIL must be able to find COMMAND.COM on your floppy disk (or hard disk)
whenever it is running its help, dos-command, and dos-shell commands.
In order for SAIL to execute these commands, COMMAND.COM must be present
on the SAIL disk. This is seldom a problem from hard disks, because you
would have to configure the disk to accomodate the location of DOS.
If you are going to run SAIL from floppy disks, the simplest solution is
to make sure that your SAIL disk is bootable. Please do this before you
run the demo.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice to SAIL users, Versions 1.00 to 1.19:
Thank you for your continued support. SAIL Version 1.20 no longer
needs ANSI.SYS. You may wish to retain the ANSI version for use
with international DOS systems that are not complete PC clones.
