HELPFUL HINTS FOR INSTALLING THE ASTRO SHAREWARE
TRIAL PACKAGE:
Installing ASTRO Shareware Trial Version.
This version of ASTRO is supplied either in the form of self-
unpacking .ZIP files, or in the form of .ZIP files. If you
downloaded from a BBS, you probably got the .ZIP files, and
you will need PKUNZIP to unpack. If you got the package from
a distributor, you probably got self-unpacking .ZIP files in
the form of .EXE files. If the file names end in .ZIP they
are .ZIP files, if they end in .EXE they are self-unpacking
.ZIP file.
To Unpack a .ZIP file type
PKUNZIP file dir
where file is the name of the file with the .ZIP on it,
and dir is the disk and/or directory that you want to unpack
it to. Note: You need space for both the .ZIP and the
unpacked files. Don't attempt to unzip the files to the same
floppy disk.
To unpack FILE.ZIP to disk B: you would type
PKUNZIP FILE B:
For further information on PKUNZIP type PKUNZIP for help.
To Unpack a .EXE self-unpacking file type
FILE dir
where file is the name of the file with the .EXE on it, and
dir is the disk and/or directory that you want to unpack it
to. Note: You need space for both the .EXE file and the
unpacked files. Don't attempt to unpack the files to the same
floppy disk.
