Quick installation
Welcome! We are glad you ordered this disk, or downloaded it from a
Bulletin Board Service. Follow the instructions below to get the
program installed quickly.
Floppy Based Systems
────────────────────
On computer systems with only floppy disks (no hard disks), the
installation is a snap. Just copy two files from the distribution disk
onto one of your working disks that you use during your daily computer
use.
Put the distribution disk in Drive A: and the disk you want the program
copied onto and type the following two lines.
COPY A:\HELP.EXE B:\ <press Enter>
COPY A:\DOSHLP.HLP B:\ <press Enter>
That's it! Now put the distribution disk in a safe place. The HELP
program has been copied onto your working disk. When you want to run
the HELP program, simply type "HELP" (without the quotes) and press
enter.
Hard Disk Based Systems
───────────────────────
On a hard disk system, the installation process is a bit more
complicated. It's best to copy the two program files into a
subdirectory that is on your PATH. Try one of the following three
methods of installation.
*Method One*
If you have a subdirectory named \DOS on your C: hard disk, it's best
to copy the files into that subdirectory.
Put the distribution disk in Drive A: and type the following two lines.
COPY A:\HELP.EXE C:\DOS <press Enter>
COPY A:\DOSHLP.HLP C:\DOS <press Enter>
*Method Two*
If you have another subdirectory on your hard disk that contains
general purpose programs, you can install the two files into this
subdirectory instead of the C:\DOS subdirectory.
COPY A:\HELP.EXE C:\your_dir_name <press Enter>
COPY A:\DOSHLP.HLP C:\your_dir_name <press Enter>
Where "your_dir_name" is the name of the subdirectory on your hard
disk.
*Method Three*
If you don't know if you have any of these subdirectories, and nobody
is available to help you, then use the following commands:
COPY A:\HELP.EXE C:\ <press Enter>
COPY A:\DOSHLP.HLP C:\ <press Enter>
Once the program is installed, simply type in "HELP" (without the
quotes) and press Enter, and the program will run.
