- INSTALLING A TERMINAL
-
- All versions of this package are available for CPM computers with at least
- a 52K TPA.
-
- The CPM system is furnished with an ADM3A terminal installed. This is the
- most common denominator for CPM computers. A terminal installation named
- TUGINST.COM is included. It uses a file called TINST.DTA which describes
- other terminals.
-
- We recommend you invoke the TAX system before installing a terminal. If it
- does not look right, you can exit immediately by typing "Z<ENTER>".
-
- If the screen does not look right, you will need to use the terminal
- installation package.
-
- Before doing that you should enter DIR *.COM and note the file names.
- You will need to install the terminal on all programs except TUGINST.COM
-
- The terminal program is on the program disk. Simply type
-
- TUGINST<ENTER>
-
- Our copyright notice will be displayed followed by a brief summary telling
- how the program functions. At the bottom of the screen, you will see a
- message telling you to type any key to return to the menu.
-
- The main menu will display "TERMINAL MENU No terminal selected" across
- the top of the screen and the following options across the bottom of the
- screen:
-
- S(elect Used to select a terminal type

-
- When you have selected a terminal, tested it and select the I)nstall
- option, you will be asked "Ready to install (Y/N)?" Selecting "N"
- will return you to the terminal menu. If you select "Y" you will be
- asked for the primary name of the program. Type the names of the
- programs you noted above. Do not include the ".COM". Repeat the
- process for all programs.
-
- If you have a Depreciation package, there is a separate copy of
- TUGINST on it.
