FS-PRO requires a minimum of 1.9 mbytes of fixed disk space on
any logical drive labeled C to H. A minimum of 640 kbytes of
RAM is required and, it is suggested that you terminate any
RAM-RESIDENT software before using FS-PRO. If you select a
drive without enough space left to properly install FS-PRO
then you will be notified and returned to the INSTALL menu.
The installation will be halted.
We apologize to those who require partitions beyond H drive.
Perhaps, you can duplicate the directories and move files
after the install process is complete.
In addition to a fixed drive, you must have a CGA, EGA or VGA
video driver. FS-PRO will NOT operate very well in monochrome.
Be sure that your CONFIG.SYS file is set up properly for your
XT or AT files and buffers and that you include an ANSI.SYS
driver and mouse, if necessary.
Example: CONFIG.SYS
device=c:\dos\mouse.sys
device=c:\dos\ansi.sys
files=15
buffers=20

╚═══╩═══════════════════════════╝
FS-PRO is extremely "path" sensitive. In order to help
eliminate the possibility of installation mistakes, we have
chosen to use an automatic INSTALLATION utility that "creates"
the proper sub-directories in which to store the FS-PRO system
files. After they are "created" we copy the proper files to
their proper directory. This is not unlike many large and
complex software systems that require multiple subdirectories
to contain seperate file types.
Another feature that we have chosen to use is automatic
unpacking of compressed files. This eliminates the need for a
user to have the appropriate file compression utility and
reduces the total disk space requirements to ship FS-PRO.
Occassionally, experts may opt to install FS-PRO using
traditional command line statements and "name" their own
directory paths. This is possible but, we highly recommend
against it; even for experts. Before providing FREE VOICE
SUPPORT, you will be asked if you used the FS-PRO INSTALLATION
UTILITY or, if you attempted to install by DOS command line
statements.

This installation utility will create the following
directories on the fixed drive that you select.
DIRECTORY/SUBDIRECTORY CONTENTS
====================================
\FSP All EXE, OVL, HLP, DOC files
\FSP\ADV All DAT, FPN files
\FSP\AIRPORT Airport Data Base
\FSP\AIRCRAFT Aircraft Data Base
If you have a previous version of FS-PRO, you will be prompted
to use the FSPREP feature to prepare your drive for the new
version. This will delete all of the files in these
directories and allow you to install the new version. Please,
backup any special airport or aircraft data base files before
using FSPREP. This preparation feature will NOT delete any
files (MODE or otherwise) that are located in your Microsoft
Flight Simulator directory. It ONLY removes "old" FS-PRO files
from those directories listed above.
If you already have the MODPAK1 adventures from a previous
version of FS-PRO then, when you are prompted for a path to
your Flight Simulator directory, just press ENTER without
putting anything into the prompt line. That way, we won't
attempt to unpack the adventures because you already have
them. Remember, however, to to change your PATH using the
SETUP & UTILITIES module following this installation
procedure. Otherwise, FS-PRO will not be able to locate your
Flight Simulator program for <F>lying. Also, you will need to
unpack the ADVPAK1.EXE file into the \FSP\ADV subdir and
unpack the adventure description (.DAT) files before you can
read the new adventure scenerio NOTAMS.

║ 4 ║ "DATA BASE OPERATIONS" ║
╚═══╩═══════════════════════════╝
FS-PRO uses an INDEXED data base to search for specific
AIRPORT and AIRCRAFT files. We provide approximately 1200
airport entries for all scenery disks and extract it during
the install process.
However, since we do NOT provide a similar data base for the
AIRCRAFT types (you enter your own up to 9,999) we must format
a NEW one so that you may begin entering your own. Therefore,
you can observe the process as we format \FSP\AIRCRAFT and
proceed to the next step.
╔═══╦═══════════════════════════╗
║ 5 ║ "READY TO RUN FS-PRO" ║
╚═══╩═══════════════════════════╝
Following the installation, we will automatically "run" FS-PRO
so that you may complete the installation by using the SETUP
utility provided. Be certain to read the FS-PRO "Information"
files which will point you to the proper setup utility and
procedures.
Please, remember to read FSPRO.DOC provided on System Disk #5
of 6 or, #3 of 3 and, README.1ST on System Disk #1 of 6. These
are normal, DOS-ASCII text files. Also, most individual
modules are equipped with INFORMATION screens similar to this.
You are encouraged to read each of them before using the
associated module.
If you have difficulty, you may call TekMate Company for FREE
voice support. (713) 440-5542 (07:00 to 16:00 CT please)
HAPPY FS-PROing...
