- HELP FILE FOR MCINSTAL.EXE PROGRAM
- In order to edit the following entries make sure your
- edits are not wider (in characters) than the following
- line of numbers.
-
- The edits you make can only occupy 9 lines of text. If
- you exceed 9 lines of text then the window will scroll
- and the user will lose information.
-
- REMEMBER: Start key words (MODE, DISPLAY, PRINTER, PLOTTER,
- MOUSE, PFK, DRIVE) in first column and make them
- uppercase. Do the same with BEGIN, END keywords.

- PATH
- BEGIN
- # This line will not appear in the help window since
- # it begins with the character '#'.
- When executing a program DOS first searches the current
- directory. If the program cannot be found in the current
- directory, then DOS will search the paths specified in
- the environment variable PATH. In order to properly
- execute programs on your system, the PATH variable must
- contain the directory where the DOS commands reside.
- Therefore, you should enter the full path name including
- the drive specifier. (e.g., C:\DOS)
- END
- ==========================================================
- 3270
- BEGIN
-
-
- To correctly construct the PATH command that will be
- inserted in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, you need to
- enter the full path name where the PC3270 emulator
- software resides. Be sure to include the drive
- specifier. (e.g., C:\PC3270)

- JOURNAL
- BEGIN
- MICRO CADAM provides a recovery feature in the event of a
- system failure. (e.g. power outage) The journal recovery
- path specifies the exact directory where MICRO CADAM will
- store the recovery file JOURNAL.TMP and MODAL.TMP. It
- should not be a RAM disk or volatile media which can be
- destroyed by a power failure or system crash. As an
- example, if you enter C:\MCADAM\, the recovery files will
- be named C:\MCADAM\JOURNAL.TMP and C:\MCADAM\MODAL.TMP.

- then you should enter answer YES to the network license
- option, and enter D: at the network drive prompt.
