README.1
========
The following excerpt from the BOYAN-40.DOC user's manual explains how to
extract the BOYAN program from their ZIP archives. To print the entire BOYAN
manual, please read the instructions in the README.2 file, contained in the
BOYAN401.ZIP archive.
2.2 Setting BOYAN Up On Disk
BOYAN 4.01 is shipped on either two 5.25" diskettes or one 3.5" disk.
The contents of the two 5.25" diskettes, Distribution Diskettes #1 and
#2, are combined onto a single 3.5" disk. The BOYAN program and
reference manual are compressed into two archive files, BOYAN401.ZIP
(on Disk #1) and BOYAN402.ZIP (on Disk #2). If you receive BOYAN from
a user group, ShareWare distributor, or Bulletin Board System, then it
will also be in the form of the BOYAN401.ZIP and BOYAN402.ZIP archives.

2.2.2 Floppy Diskette Installation
To install BOYAN on 5.25" (360K) floppy diskettes, format three blank
disks and label them "Program", "Protocols", and "Documentation". To
install BOYAN on higher-capacity floppies, such as 3.5" (720K) disks,
then format two blanks and label them "Program/Protocols" and
"Documentation". Then follow these steps:
1. Insert BOYAN Distribution Disk #1 into drive A:, and insert your
blank "Program" disk in drive B:.
2. Type "B:", <Return> to make B: the currently-logged drive.
3. At the "B>" prompt, extract the BOYAN programs from the BOYAN401
archive by typing:
A:PKUNZIP A:BOYAN401
4. Insert BOYAN Distribution Disk #2 into drive A:, and put the
"Protocols" disk in drive B:.
5. Extract the external protocols from their archives by typing:
A:PKUNZIP A:DSZ
A:PKUNZIP A:OZBEXT
A:PKUNZIP A:PCKERMIT
6. Leave Distribution Disk #2 in drive A:, but insert the blank
"Documentation" disk into drive B:. Type:
A:PKUNZIP A:BOYAN402
Skip now to section 2.2.4.
2.2.3 Hard Disk Installation
BOYAN provides you with a large degree of flexibility in organizing its
files on your hard disk. Advanced DOS users will appreciate having
separate subdirectories configurable for each of the following: dialing
directories, script files, uploads, downloads, and external protocols.
However, the easiest way to set up BOYAN on your hard disk is as
follows:
1. Use the "MD" command (see DOS manual) to create a new
subdirectory on your hard disk. For example, to make a new
subdirectory named BOYAN, type
MD C:\BOYAN
and press <Enter>.
2. Enter your new subdirectory by typing, for example,
C:
CD \BOYAN
3. To extract all files from the BOYAN401.ZIP archive into your new
subdirectory, insert Distribution Disk #1 into the A: floppy
drive, and type:
A:PKUNZIP A:BOYAN401
4. To extract the BOYAN documentation and external protocols from
their archives, insert Distribution Disk #2 into the A: floppy
drive, and type:
A:PKUNZIP A:BOYAN402
A:PKUNZIP A:DSZ
A:PKUNZIP A:OZBEXT
A:PKUNZIP A:PCKERMIT
2.2.4 DOS installation
You must also instruct DOS to allow at least twelve open files with a
CONFIG.SYS file. If your start-up disk has no CONFIG.SYS file, type the
following from DOS:
COPY CON \CONFIG.SYS
files = 12 <ctrl-Z>
The next time you reboot, the new DOS configuration will be in effect.
