INSTALLING LCOM
───────────────
How long or quickly it takes you to install Lcom depends on how
thorough you wish to be. There are many variables which you can control
within Lcom.
The quick method:
Run the INSTALL.BAT to create directories and move some files.
Run LCC, configure the items in the "QUICK-INSTALL" area.
Now, once you're done, press F7 to save the configuration and you're
ready to go. Run LC.EXE.
If you were a TELIX v3.11 to v3.15 user, there is a utility (T315L100)
which will convert your old dialing directory to Lcom's format.
This file is not supplied in this archive, however, it is available
seperately if needed; as is the case for larger telephone directories.
If you ever wish to change the colors of the windows in the main
program or their locations or sizes, use the LCV(ideo).EXE utility.
LCV is only configurating the colors, sizes, and window positions
for the screen size that it was run in. So, if you wish to use Lcom
in more than one screen size, then make sure you run LCV in each
screen size.
The comprehensive method:
The long, comprehensive method would be the same as the quick method;
except that you would go through each section of the LCC program
(not just the "quick-install" section) and make sure everything
is set to your liking.
desqview
────────
If you wish to run Lcom from DESQVIEW, then configure Desqview to
the following:
Writes directly to screen : NO
Virtualize text/graphics : NO
Uses its own colors : YES
Can be swapped out : NO
Command Line parameters : "/DV" <- tells lcom to allow the
use of the special DV
mode.
video configuration
───────────────────
You should run the LCV program and make sure that everything contained
in that "video" program is to your liking. That includes the status
bar, colors of the Lcom menus, and their sizes, locations, explosion
types, etc.
