- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- The installation procedure for Tutor.COM, Hypertext Version is quite
- simple. The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
- the product.
-
- INSTALLING FROM DISKETTE
-
- o Place Tutor.COM's distribution diskette in the appropriate
- diskette drive. You may run the program from this diskette
- if you wish but installation to your hard disk is recommended.
-
- To install to a hard disk you need to perform the following steps:
-
- o Make a subdirectory on your hard disk (HTUTOR suggested) and
- then copy all files from the distribution diskette into that
- subdirectory:
-
- MD C:\HTUTOR
- COPY A:*.* C:\HTUTOR
-
- o To run the program, make the program directory current and
- issue the command HTUTOR at the DOS prompt.
-
- C:
- CD \HTUTOR
- HTUTOR
-
- INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
-
- If you downloaded Tutor.COM, Hypertext Version from a BBS (or received
- it in the form of archive files from some other source), you will need
- to perform the following steps.
-
- o Extract the contents of the archive file(s) in a temporary
- directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this
- varies, depending on the form in which you received the package.
- In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means
- that you already have the necessary tools and knowledge to
- perform this step. If not, you should be able to obtain
- directions for this from the same source from which you received
- the package.
-
- o You may run the program from this directory or copy to a
- different directory. If you choose the latter...
-
- o Make a subdirectory on your hard disk (HTUTOR suggested) and
- then copy all files from the temporary directory into that
- subdirectory:
-
- MD C:\HTUTOR
- COPY C:\TEMPDIR\*.* C:\HTUTOR
-
- o To run the program, make the program directory current and
- issue the command HTUTOR at the DOS prompt.
-
- CD \HTUTOR
- HTUTOR
-
- When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
- delete the temporary directory from which you installed Tutor.COM
- (C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
-
- YOU'RE READY TO GO
-
- Once you've completed the installation, make the installation directory
- current and command HTUTOR to run the program. All instructions are
- included; just follow the prompts on the screen and use either the mouse
- or cursor keys to highlight hypertext links and the left mouse button or
- Enter key to activate the link and jump to that topic.
-
- If you happen to have a monochrome monitor, start the program with the
- command HTUTOR /B instead of just HTUTOR.
-
- We hope you enjoy the program.
