- TOP Copyright (c) 1990-1994 by TNC Technology, All Rights
- Reserved, GTDR
-
- INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS:
- --------------------------
-
- TOP is intended for the IBM PC, PC/XT, PC/AT, or 100% compatibles.
- DOS 3.0 or greater is required. A Microsoft compatible mouse is
- recommended but not required.
-
- TOP installation requires about 980 Kbytes of free disk space on the
- destination drive. Installation to a low density floppy is not
- possible.
-
- DOCUMENTATION
- -------------
-
- Complete documentation will be created by the installation
- procedure, in a file called "MANUAL.TXT".
-
- TO INSTALL:
- -----------
-
- To install TOP, insert the TOP release disk into your floppy drive
- and type:
-
- A:INSTALL <ENTER>
-
- Notes: If your floppy is not drive A:, substitute the appropriate
- letter above
-
- The default installation directory will be C:\TOP. You
- will be given the option of specifying a different
- directory during installation
-
-
- During the installation you will be asked for your TOP registration
- number. If this is a shareware installation and you do not have
- number, just press <ENTER> at the prompt.
-
- INSTALL does NOT modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS, it just
- copies files to a directory and decompresses them. However, some
- slight modifications to AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS may be
- recommended - see POST-INSTALL NOTES below.
-
- Up to date release information is available after starting TOP and
- typing:
-
- !READ_ME <F1> -- The latest release information
-
- and
-
- !-NEW-! <F1> -- New features in this release
-
- HELP is available by pressing <F1>, or by pressing your left and
- right mouse buttons simultaneously and releasing them over the word
- HELP. A left click on any word in the HELP window accesses HELP for
- that topic.
-
- POST-INSTALL NOTES:
- -------------------
-
- It is recommended the TOP startup command be added as the last line
- of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. To do this you would add the line:
-
- c:\top\top
-
- as the last line of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file (if you installed TOP to
- the default C:\TOP). If you have DOS 5.0+ and a 386 or 486 hardware,
- TOP can be loaded into upper memory with LOADHIGH. For example:
-
- loadhigh c:\top\top
-
- can be added to your AUTOEXEC.BAT in place of the above example.
-
- Important: If you do not have a FILES= statement in your CONFIG.SYS
- file, or do not have a CONFIG.SYS file, you must create one and set
- the FILES equal to or greater than 9 (the default if not specified
- is 8). To create a CONFIG.SYS file from scratch (if you don't have
- one) type:
-
- cd\<ENTER>
- copy con config.sys<ENTER>
- files=20<CTRL+Z><ENTER>
-
- Remember to reboot after any AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS changes so
- the changes will take effect.
-
- CHANGING TOP PARAMETERS
- -----------------------
-
- After installing TOP, change to the TOP directory and type:
-
- TOPSET
-
- Or press <ALT+T>
