- INSTALLATION
- ------------
-
- The only files required to run the Point & Shoot Home Manager are:
-
- PASH.EXE The Point & Shoot Home Manager Program. This
- file must reside on a bootable disk for floppy systems,
- or it must be available in the current directory or in
- the PATH if used on a hard disk.
-
- *.DBD These are the database definition files used
- with the databases in the Point & Shoot Home Manager.
- These files must be available on the data disk for floppy
- systems, or in the current directory if used on a hard
- disk.
-
-
- Whether using a hard disk or dual floppy disk system, you MUST
- use a CONFIG.SYS file that contains the following line:
-
- FILES = 20
-
-
-
- DUAL FLOPPY DISK SYSTEMS
- ------------------------
-
- 1) Copy PASH.EXE from the Point & Shoot Home Manager distribution
- disk to a bootable floppy disk.
-
- 2) Copy all of the "DBD" files from the Point & Shoot Home Manager
- distribution disk to a blank data disk.
-
- 3) Place the new bootable disk in drive A: and the data disk in
- drive B:, switch to drive B: and invoke the Point & Shoot
- Home Manager from drive A:
-
- A> B:
- B> A:PASH
-
- 4) The Point & Shoot Home Manager should run. The SETUP command
- should be used immediately to set the program parameters.
-
-
- HARD DISK INSTALLATION
- ----------------------
-
- If running the Point & Shoot Hard Disk Manager:
-
- 1) Use the FILE COPY command to copy PASH.EXE to the \P&S
- directory.
-
- 2) Use the TREE MAKE command to create a directory to hold
- the Point & Shoot Home Manager data and use the FILE COPY
- command to copy all files with the ".DBD" extension to the
- new data directory.
-
- 3) Use the MENU ADD command to add the PASH command to the
- user-defined menus. Remember to select the data directory
- as the directory path.
-
- 4) The SETUP command should be used immediately to set the
- program parameters.
-
-
-
- If not running the Point & Shoot Home Manager:
-
- 1) Create a new subdirectory on the hard disk for the Point &
- Shoot Home Manager program and data files.
-
- 2) Copy all the files on the distribution disk to the newly
- created directory.
-
- 3) The Point & Shoot Home Manager program may now be run
- from the new directory by changing to that directory and
- entering the following command:
-
- PASH
-
- 4) To run the Point & Shoot Home Manager from a different
- directory (and to store the data files in a different
- directory also) create a separate directory to hold the
- Point & Shoot Home Manager data files, copy the files with
- ".DBD" extension to the new directory, and add the new
- directory to the PATH command in AUTOEXEC.BAT. The Point &
- Shoot Home Manager may now be executed from the data
- directory by making that directory the default and entering
- the PASH command.
-
- 5) The SETUP command should be used immediately to set the
- program parameters.
