PLUS56.DAT file
---------------
You can now set what directory your default settings ,
Plus56.dat, and Plus56.mon resides in.
1. Load your autoexec.bat file into your file editor,WP, etc.
2. Enter the following, adding it to your Autoexec.bat
file.
set PLUSDATA=\util
Where util would be the directory you want Plus56.dat to
occupy. Change 'util' to whatever path you want. PLUSDATA=\path
must have no spaces.
You may also add the drive. In fact it's agood idea.
set PLUSDATA=C:\UTIL
3. Save AUTOEXEC.BAT back to your Root Directory.
4. Now your data file will load and be saved to your chosen
path.
RUNNING THE PROGRAM:
--------------------
You should make a copy of your disk first.
The only file you absolutely need, to run PrintPlus, is
P56.exe.
If you place PrintPlus on a hard drive, make sure to have
it within your path for easy access.
Files I would recommend to place on disk are these.
P56.exe Main program "PrintPlus".
P56doc Documentation for PrintPlus.
Plus56.dat Data file for color monitors.
Plus56.mon Data file for monochrome monitors.
Check the file PACKING.LST for a complete list of files.
To get the program up and running simple type in the
name of the program at the Dos prompt.
P56
Then press [Enter]
At the top the path will be shown.
In the top box the file name will be displayed that's under
the cursor. The file size will be to the right.
If its a directory " DIRECTORY ║ " will be displayed
instead.
At the extreme right the amount of free bytes available will
be shown.
Using Alt-I you can toggle this on and off. This will speed
up the cursor on a slow floppy when this is toggled off.
