- The first stage of the installation of the Micro CADAM free demonstration
- software can be broken down into 6 steps as follow:
-
- 1. DOWNLOAD THE FILES FROM THE BBS TO YOUR COMPUTER AND COPY THEM ALL INTO
- THE SAME DIRECTORY ON YOUR HARD DISK:
-
- There are five (5) files to download:
-
- a. MCADAM.ZIP which contains
-
- i. Install2.txt (this file)
- ii. Overview.txt (gives an overview of Micro CADAM)
- iii. Readme.txt (information about Micro CADAM)
- iv. Disk1.bat (Unzips MCADAM1.ZIP to floppy disk 1 of 4)
- v. Disk2.bat (Unzips MCADAM2.ZIP to floppy disk 2 of 4).
- vi. Disk3.bat (Unzips MCADAM3.ZIP to floppy disk 3 of 4).
- vii. Disk4.bat (Unzips MCADAM4.ZIP to floppy disk 4 of 4).
-
- b. MCADAM1.ZIP which contains
-
- i. MCD.ZIP file which is copied to disk 1 of 4.
- ii. READ.ME file which contains additional information.
- iii. PKUNZIP.EXE which is the registered version. Please use this
- version to unzip your files.
- iv. INSTALL.BAT which is the batch file used to install the Micro
- CADAM program FROM the floppy disks TO your hard disk.
- v. INSTALL.TXT which is a text file with instructions on how to
- install (and also configure and setup) the Micro CADAM program
- FROM the floppy disk TO the hard disk.
-
- c. MCADAM2.ZIP which contains the MCD.ZIP file which is copied to disk
- 2 of 4.
-
- d. MCADAM3.ZIP which contains the MCD.ZIP file which is copied to disk
- 3 of 4.
-
- e. MCADAM4.ZIP which contains the MCD.ZIP file which is copied to disk
- 4 of 4.
-
- 2. UNZIP THE MCADAM.ZIP FILE INTO ITS INDIVIDUAL FILES IN THE HARD DISK
- DIRECTORY:
-
- Use your own copy of pkunzip.exe to unzip the MCADAM.ZIP files into
- their present directory. When you are prompted to overwrite the
- existing pkunzip.exe file, say yes. The registered version of
- pkunzip.exe (included in the MCADAM.ZIP file) will now replace your
- unregistered version of pkunzip.exe.
-
- 3. UNZIP THE MCADAM1.ZIP FILE FROM THE HARD DISK, TO A FLOPPY DISK:
-
- a. Place an empty, formatted high density disk into your floppy drive
- (either a 1.2MB 5-1/4" or 1.44 3-1/2" disk)
-
- b. To unzip the MCADAM1.ZIP file from the hard disk to the MCD.ZIP
- file (and some other files) on the floppy disk, type 'DISK1
- <DRIVE:>', where <DRIVE:> is your floppy disk drive. For example,
- if your floppy disk drive is A, then type 'DISK1 A:' (no quotes!)
-
- c. After the files have been copied, label this disk as "MICRO CADAM
- INSTALL DISK 1 OF 4".
-
- d. You may now erase the MCADAM1.ZIP file from the hard disk.
-
-
- 4. UNZIP THE MCADAM2.ZIP FILE FROM THE HARD DISK, TO A FLOPPY DISK:
-
- a. Place another empty, formatted high density disk into your floppy
- drive.
-
- b. To unzip the MCADAM2.ZIP file from the hard disk to the MCD.ZIP
- file on the floppy disk, type 'DISK2 <DRIVE:>', where <DRIVE:> is
- your floppy disk drive. For example, if your floppy disk drive is
- A, then type 'DISK2 A:' (no quotes!)
-
- c. After the files have been copied, label this disk as "MICRO CADAM
- INSTALL DISK 2 OF 4".
-
- d. You may now erase the MCADAM2.ZIP file from the hard disk.
-
- 5. UNZIP THE MCADAM3.ZIP FILE FROM THE HARD DISK, TO A FLOPPY DISK:
-
- a. Place another empty, formatted high density disk into your floppy
- drive.
-
- b. To unzip the MCADAM3.ZIP file from the hard disk to the MCD.ZIP
- file on the floppy disk, type 'DISK3 <DRIVE:>', where <DRIVE:> is
- your floppy disk drive. For example, if your floppy disk drive is
- A, then type 'DISK3 A:' (no quotes!)
-
- c. After the files have been copied, label this disk as "MICRO CADAM
- INSTALL DISK 3 OF 4".
-
- d. You may now erase the MCADAM3.ZIP file from the hard disk.
-
- 6. UNZIP THE MCADAM4.ZIP FILE FROM THE HARD DISK, TO A FLOPPY DISK:
-
- a. Place another empty, formatted high density disk into your floppy
- drive.
-
- b. To unzip the MCADAM4.ZIP file from the hard disk to the MCD.ZIP
- file on the floppy disk, type 'DISK4 <DRIVE:>', where <DRIVE:> is
- your floppy disk drive. For example, if your floppy disk drive is
- A, then type 'DISK4 A:' (no quotes!)
-
- c. After the files have been copied, label this disk as "MICRO CADAM
- INSTALL DISK 4 OF 4".
-
- d. You may now erase the MCADAM4.ZIP file from the hard disk.
-
-
- The second stage of the installation of Micro CADAM involves installing the
- program FROM the floppy disks, BACK ONTO the hard disk. Read the file
- INSTALL.TXT on Disk 1 of 4 and follow the instructions there.
-
- NOTE: Before installing the software FROM the floppy disks TO the hard disk,
- it is best to remove the volume label from all 4 of the floppy disks.
- Should the disks have an incorrect volume label, the pkunzip utility may not
- recognize the disks in the correct order, and will then keep prompting you
- for a disk when it is already inserted in the drive. Remember to insert the
- disks in the proper order. When asked to insert the disk with the batch
- file, this means disk 1. When asked to insert the last disk of the backup
- set, this means disk 4.
-
- After you have installed the Micro CADAM software FROM your floppy disk TO
- your hard disk, all of the Micro CADAM files will be found in the \MCADAM
- directory. Look in the \MCADAM\DOCS directory for more information on
- concepts, quickstart, etc. Some of these files are in Wordperfect 5.1 format
- (complete with graphics) so you can print them out. One of the files is text
- only. Should you want to purchase the "USING MICRO CADAM" book (1224 pages)
- please contact JDC DISTRIBUTING at 818-542-6500. (Cost is US $44.95 + $7.00
- shipping and handling)
