===== Installation =====================================
The installation procedure for DIR-DESC is quite simple. The
package includes a program, "INSTALL.EXE", which automates the
entire process. You will need about 210K of available disk space
on the hard drive on which you plan to install DIR-DESC.
The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
DIR-DESC.
INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
o Place DIR-DESC distribution diskette "Disk 1 of 1" in the
appropriate diskette drive.
o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program on the distribution diskette.
For example, if the distribution diskette is on drive A:, type
the MS-DOS command, "a:install".
o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
are actually made to the contents of your hard drive.
INSTALL may give you a path to copy to because DIR-DESC is alot
more usefull when in your system's path.
The program will ask you for a destination directory, and it will
copy DIR-DESC's files to that directory.
If you so direct it, the installation program will install
executable programs and documentation in other directories of your
choice. It will make no other changes; specifically, it
will not modify your autoexec.bat or config.sys files.
But you should put DIR-DESC into your path.
INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
If you downloaded DIR-DESC 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 Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program which you have extracted. For
example, if the temporary directory into which you have extracted
the DIR-DESC's package is C:\TEMPDIR, you would execute the MS-DOS
command, "c:\tempdir\install".
o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
DIR-DESC's files to that directory. If you so direct it, the
installation program will install executable programs and
documentation in other directories of your choice. It will make
no other changes; specifically, it will not modify your
autoexec.bat or config.sys files.
*****But you should put DIR-DESC into your path!
When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed DIR-DESC
(C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
YOU'RE READY TO GO
Once you've complete the installation, you should consult the documents
(DD.DOC) which have been installed. In particular,
read at least the "Overview" and "Quick Start" sections of the file
"DD.DOC". That document will tell you how to invoke the program,
and will give you other information you need to properly evaluate
DIR-DESC. We hope you enjoy the program.
