SCIENTIFIC SPECIALISTS, COPYRIGHT (C) 1991-1992.
Welcome to those who want to look at a batch file before running it.
That's OK. This one allows choice of drives and copies 4 zipped and 7
other files from a hard disk to any size floppy disk(s). It's for files
from BBS's, or when you want to make copies for other people. Then,
INSTALL runs from floppies. The other files just support it.
That's it, no sneaky changes to your root files. No fooling with your
PATH or environment. So, run INSTALL and it'll do it all for you. You
can abort, too.
If you downloaded from a BBS, LAN, or other modem setup, you may wish to
make a set of floppies. A list of all files here tells which go where.
If you want to back up or make a set for someone else, or to distribute
them as shareware, put all the files in one directory and use this file
CY2FLOPY.bat from the hard disk. It calls HD2FLOPY and copies them all.
When done, Install.exe runs from ANY of the following combinations:
* One 5¼" 1.2mb disk with all 11 files on it, or
* One 3½" 1.4mb disk with all 11 files on it, or
* Two 3½" 720kb disks with 9 files on Disk 1,
and 2 Zipsoft files on Disk 2, or
* Four 5¼" 360kb disks, with 8 files on Disk 1,
and one file each on Disks 2, 3, and 4, or
* Any hard disk drive subdirectory with all these 11 files:
1 README.BAT Run this file first.
2 INSTALL.COM Run from floppy OR hard drive.
3 SUPPLBAT.COM color worker
4 DRIVE.COM Does most of the work.
5 CY2FLOPY.BAT Used to copy downloaded files to floppies.
6 HD2FLOPY.COM (Supports the above file.)
7 X!.COM Worker
8 ZIPSOFT1.EXE \
9 ZIPSOFT2.EXE \____ » These are the four self-extracting files that
10 ZIPSOFT3.EXE / contain all the 23 self-displaying book files.
11 ZIPSOFT4.EXE / Has a nice "point & shoot" file menu selector.

echo AUTO COPY TO FLOPPY PROGRAM
echo.
echo This is CY2FLOPY.bat (copy to floppy) batch file. It's for users who
echo got their BOOKSOFT files from bulletin boards, or have them on a hard
echo disk drive without distribution floppies. It copies the 11 files to
echo floppies. And, if you want, then deletes them from your hard drive.
echo You will need one high-density diskette of either size (3½" or 5¼"),
echo or two 720kb 3½" disks, or four 360kb 5¼" (all blank formatted disks.)
echo.
echo You enter the HD2FLOPY (Hard Drive to floppy) followed by a SPACE, and
echo the drive LETTER of the target floppy drive, A or B. You do this from
echo the directory where the 11 distribution files are now located. That's
echo probably this one. The target is where your blank disk(s) are placed.
echo EXAMPLES; note, don't add a colon or \ after the target floppy drive:
echo.
echo » d:\temp\hd2flopy a » C:\BOOKSOFT\HD2FLOPY B
echo.
echo The first example above will copy the files from D:\TEMP subdirectory
echo to floppy drive A. The second will copy the 11 files from C:\BOOKSOFT
echo subdirectory to floppy drive B. Check your entry against these examples.
echo.
echo If you need to prepare for this operation, press CNTRL-BREAK keys now.
echo Or, press the SPACE BAR now, then type your entry, and press ENTER.
