-
- INSTALLING RETAIL PLUS+
-
- Retail Plus+ is supplied as an archive file called "RETAIL-P.ZIP". It contains
- all the files you need. Follow these steps to get a functioning system onto
- your hard drive:
-
- 1 - At the "C:>" prompt create a new directory on your hard drive and go to
- that directory:
-
- MD RETAIL <press enter>
- CD\RETAIL <press enter>
-
- 2 - Using an archive un-packing utility such as PKUNZIP, unpack the contents
- of RETAIL-P.ZIP into the new directory:
-
- PKUNZIP [drive:\directory\] RETAIL-P <press enter>
-
-
- 3 - Now check for a file called "CONFIG.SYS" in the root directory of the
- startup drive. If it is there it should contain the following statements with
- the minimum values shown:
-
- FILES = 20
- BUFFERS = 8
-
- You can see the contents of the file just by typing:
-
- TYPE CONFIG.SYS <press enter>
-
- If these statements are absent you can use any text editor to insert them. If
- the file does not exist, you can easily create one with the following steps:
-
- 1 - Go to the root directory:
-
- CD\ <press enter>
-
- 2 - Create a file called CONFIG.SYS and put the two lines in it:
-
