║ SECTION 01.03.01 : INSTALLATION ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
INSTALLATION FOR A HARD DRIVE SYSTEM
Create a directory for installing the files. For example purposes
we will create directory 'RSA' on drive 'C' and copy files from
the green distribution diskette in drive 'A'.
1) Create directory :
MKDIR C:\RSA
2) Copy all files to directory :
COPY A:\*.* C:\RSA
3) Install parameter file for your monitor type :
For 64 color VGA graphics :
COPY A:\VPARMS.DAT C:\RSA\PARMS.DAT
or) 16 color VGA graphics :
COPY A:\V16PARMS.DAT C:\RSA\PARMS.DAT
or) 64 color EGA graphics :
COPY A:\EPARMS.DAT C:\RSA\PARMS.DAT
or) 16 color EGA graphics :
COPY A:\E16PARMS.DAT C:\RSA\PARMS.DAT
or) 4 color CGA graphics :
COPY A:\CPARMS.DAT C:\RSA\PARMS.DAT
or) VGA monochrome graphics :
COPY A:\VMPARMS.DAT C:\RSA\PARMS.DAT
or) EGA monochrome graphics :
COPY A:\EMPARMS.DAT C:\RSA\PARMS.DAT
or) CGA monochrome graphics :
COPY A:\CMPARMS.DAT C:\RSA\PARMS.DAT
or) Hercules monochrome graphics :
COPY A:\HMPARMS.DAT C:\RSA\PARMS.DAT
If 360K diskettes are being used for installation, insert the
black distribution diskette in drive 'A'.
4) Copy all files to directory :
COPY A:\*.* C:\RSA
5) Change current directory :
CD C:\RSA
6) Change current drive :
C:
7) Execute RSA.BAT file to start program.

INSTALLATION FOR A FLOPPY DRIVE ONLY SYSTEM
The Relational Stock Analysis can be executed directly from the
green distribution diskette. You should make a backup copy
of both diskettes before starting.
1) Install parameter file for your monitor type :
For 64 color VGA graphics :
COPY A:\VPARMS.DAT A:\PARMS.DAT
or) 16 color VGA graphics :
COPY A:\V16PARMS.DAT A:\PARMS.DAT
or) 64 color EGA graphics :
COPY A:\EPARMS.DAT A:\PARMS.DAT
or) 16 color EGA graphics :
COPY A:\E16PARMS.DAT A:\PARMS.DAT
or) 4 color CGA graphics :
COPY A:\CPARMS.DAT A:\PARMS.DAT
or) VGA monochrome graphics :
COPY A:\VMPARMS.DAT A:\PARMS.DAT
or) EGA monochrome graphics :
COPY A:\EMPARMS.DAT A:\PARMS.DAT
or) CGA monochrome graphics :
COPY A:\CMPARMS.DAT A:\PARMS.DAT
or) Hercules monochrome graphics :
COPY A:\HMPARMS.DAT A:\PARMS.DAT
2) Execute RSA.BAT file to start program.
