-
- FIRST: Rename the B29xxx.COM to B29.COM as that is the only filename
- that B29INST will recognize.
-
- SECOND: If your machine has video codes that you wish to install, get
- them handy. If you are going to install printer strings, then
- you should get them as well. You are allowed to install three
- printer strings. The installation program suggests the three
- standard character pitches, but it makes no difference what
- the strings are because B29 simply issues them to the printer
- at print time. One of them could, for example, be for double
- wide characters.
-
- THIRD: If you are not using a Kaypro 4-84, you MUST put NULL's in
- for the STATUS LINE PRESERVATION, REMEMBER CURSOR POSITION
- codes as these codes are only used on the Kaypro when using
- the built-in clock. You must also disable the CUSTOM CURSOR and
- CLOCK.
-
- FOURTH: Run B29INST.COM. The installation program will ask which drive
- has the B29.COM file to be installed. It then checks to see
- that it is a valid version, if it is, then the installation
- program presents a menu. ALL of the selections must be gone
- through to be sure that they are properly installed for your
- machine.
-
-
- NOTE: The older versions of B29INST.COM (below 3.0) will not allow
- changing the strings selectively, that is, B29INST did not
- read B29.COM to find what the current settings are so that
- you could change them. The older versions had default settings
- built-in, but you could change them. If you wanted to change
- just one of the strings, you would have to set all of them
- to the codes you wanted because B29INST didn't know what you
- had set before. All of the versions of B29INST.COM are
- compatible otherwise.
