INSTALLATION of ANSIPLAY vs. 2.1
--------------------------------
Syntax: INSTALL
The installation program is basically broken into 5 procedures:
1. Installation of your ANSI device driver.
The ANSI device driver included with your DOS files is
names ANSI.SYS. Before this driver can work, it must be
installed into your CONFIG.SYS file in the root directory
of your boot drive.
INSTALL.EXE will ask you which drive\directory this file
is located upon booting up. Then it will check to see if
the device driver is already installed. If not, it will
alter (or create) your CONFIG.SYS file.
For more information on ANSI.SYS, consult your DOS user's
manual.
2. Setting a PATH in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
(This path is used for searching executable files)
INSTALL.EXE will ask you on which drive\directory the
ANSIPLAY program files will be found.
INSTALL.EXE will then search for your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
on your boot drive.
It will then search for the first occurance of the text
"PATH " or "PATH=" in the file. If the text is found,
the ANSIPLAY files drive\directory will be appended to
the textline. If the text is not found, it will be
appended to the last line of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Consult your DOS user's manual for information on how the
PATH statement works.
3. Creating/Updating your ANSIPLAY.CLS file.
INSTALL.EXE will allow you to select the default colors
for and whether or not you wish the screen to be cleared
after each ANSI file display.
See the section on "Reinitializing your screen display"
for information on the file ANSIPLAY.CLS.
4. Use an environment SETting in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
(This path is used for searching for ANSIPLAY.CLS DATA file)
INSTALL.EXE will ask you on which drive\directory the
ANSIPLAY.CLS is to be written to.
INSTALL.EXE will then search for your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
on your boot drive.
It will then search for the first occurance of the text
"SET ANSIPLAY=" or "SET ANSIPLAY " in the file. If the
text is found, the ANSIPLAY files drive\directory will
be appended to

the textline. If the text is not found, it will be
appended to the last line of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Consult your DOS user's manual for information on how the
SET statement works.
5. Option to print documentation.
You will be given an option to select which text files,
if any, you want to print. Each selection will be
preceded with a brief description of the file contents.
Printer output will be sent to default printer (LPT1:).
During printing you may pause/stop/abort the print job(s)
by hitting the [ESC] key, at which time you will be given
3 options...
C)ontinue...resume printing
S)top.......stop printing the file which is currently
being printed, and continue with next file.
A)bort......abort all print jobs.
If your CONFIG.SYS and/or AUTOEXEC.BAT files have been updated
you will be reminded to reboot your system so the the changes
will automatically be invoked.
To reboot, Hold down the keys...[CTRL], then [ALT], then [DEL].
