Installation
___________________________________________________________________________
You have been supplied with the following files:
HINSTALL.EXE
HOST50.DAT
HOST50.DOC
INSTALL.DOC
Here are step by step instructions for the quick installation of Host50.
Refer to pages 6, 7, and 8 of the manual for instructions on making a quick
configuration of the program and how to make your first logon to the host.
1. The best way to run Host50 is to either have your Telix directory
listed in your DOS path statement (C:\Telix;) or listed as an
environment variable (SET TELIX = C:\TELIX\) in your autoexec.bat
file. Make these changes and reboot your computer.
2. If you have made the changes in item one, place the files HINSTALL.EXE
and HOST50.DAT in any directory on your hard drive and run HINSTALL.
IF NOT, place the files in the directory that holds TELIX.EXE and run
HINSTALL.
3. HINSTALL will ask you if you wish \TELIX\HOST to be the directory
where Host50 will keep its data files. If you want to change this do
it now.
4. HINSTALL will then expand and place the different files into their
correct directories.
5. If HINSTALL finds any data files from previous versions of HOST3 (4.1,
4.2, 4.3, or 4.4) it will convert them. It will then place the newly
converted data files into the data directory. It will ask if you want
to delete the old files that are no longer needed by Host50 before
deleting.
6. HINSTALL will not bother any key DOS files like CONFIG.SYS or
AUTOEXEC.BAT.
7. IMPORTANT! If you are upgrading from a previous version of Host3, you
will need to repack all the message, file, and user data bases when
you first start Host50. To do this, press Alt-F at the opening menu
of Host50. Then press F6 to pack all bases. Should there be a
problem in the conversion, you can run HREPAIR.EXE to fix the
database.
8. Following the installation process, you can erase HINSTALL.EXE and
HOST50.DAT.
9. Adjust Host50 to your tastes using the tips on pages 6-7 of the
manual.
