DOSMAX for Windows and Norton DeskTop or PCTools for Windows
The information in this document is intended for use with 386MAX and
BlueMAX version 7.xx.
This information pertains to both 386MAX and BlueMAX. 386MAX is used
as an example in all cases.
The INSTALL program of 386MAX does not automatically support
installation of DOSMAX for Windows when using a third-party shell
instead of Program Manager (PROGMAN.EXE). If you wish to use DOSMAX
in this type of environment you must add the QUALITAS DOSMAX Group and
its related programs manually. This document describes how to install
DOSMAX for Windows with Norton Desktop for Windows and PCTools for
Windows as well as how to install DOSMAX manually with Program
Manager.
Norton Desktop for Windows
Use these directions to install DOSMAX for Windows with Norton Desktop
for Windows.
1. Create a STARTUP group on your desktop. If you already have a
STARTUP group, you may skip this step. Otherwise, create a STARTUP
group by choosing NEW from the FILE menu of the Desktop Manager.
Click on the button to create a new Group. In the box titled
PROGRAM/DESCRIPTION/SCRIPT, type C:\WINDOWS\STARTUP.GRP. You may
leave the box for TITLE empty. When you click OK, you should notice
that a new STARTUP group has been added to your desktop.
Any program icons added to this group will load automatically when you
load Norton Desktop for Windows.
2. Add QPOPUP.EXE to your STARTUP Group. Click on the STARTUP Group
to open it. If the STARTUP Group is not visible on your Desktop,
choose WINDOW from the Desktop Manager Menus and select the STARTUP
Group from the menu. With the STARTUP Group active, choose NEW from
the FILE Menu of the Desktop Manager. Click on the button to create a
new Item. In the box titled PROGRAM/DESCRIPTION/SCRIPT, type
C:\386MAX\QPOPUP.EXE. You may leave the box for TITLE empty. When
you click OK, you should notice that QPOPUP appears in the STARTUP
Group.
3. Add the Qualitas DOSMAX Group to your Desktop. Choose NEW from the
FILE menu of the Desktop Manager. Click on the button to create a new
Group. In the box titled PROGRAM/DESCRIPTION/SCRIPT, type
C:\386MAX\QUALITAS.GRP. You may leave the box for TITLE empty. When
you click OK, you should notice that a new Qualitas DOSMAX group has
been added to your desktop. To use DOSMAX, double-click on this
group.
If you encounter problems creating new program groups or items, please
consult the documentation for Norton Desktop for Windows regarding
these topics. For information on how to use DOSMAX refer to your USER
GUIDE UPDATE for 386MAX.
PC Tools for Windows
Use these directions to install DOSMAX for Windows with PC Tools for
Windows.
1. Create a Qualitas DOSMAX folder. To create a new folder, select
NEW FOLDER from the FILE menu on the Main Desktop. Enter QUALITAS
DOSMAX in the TITLE box of the Folder Properties dialog box and click
on OK. A new empty folder called Qualitas DOSMAX will appear on your
desktop.
2. Add the DOSMAX components to your Qualitas DOSMAX folder. There
are three items which you will add to the Qualitas DOSMAX folder. To
add each item, choose NEW from the FILE menu of the Qualitas DOSMAX
folder. Select FILE as the type of NEW ITEM to add and click on OK.
In the File Item Properties dialog box, click on the box for Command
Line. To create the first item. enter C:\386MAX\QPIFEDIT.EXE. When
you click upon OK, you may be informed that "no icon information
exists for this file". This message is harmless and you may continue.
A new item will appear in your Qualitas DOSMAX folder. Repeat these
steps two more times to add the other items which are included with
DOSMAX. In the File Item Properties dialog box, enter
C:\386MAX\DOSMAXF.PIF in the Command Line box and click on OK to
create the full screen DOSMAX session. To create the Windowed DOSMAX
session, enter C:\386MAX\DOSMAXW.PIF in the Command Line box and click
on OK.
If you have questions on how to add folders or items, please consult
your PC Tools for Windows documentation. For information on how to
use DOSMAX for Windows, consult your USER GUIDE UPDATE for 386MAX.
Installing DOSMAX for Windows with Program Manager
DOSMAX for Windows installs automatically when you install 386MAX.
If, for some reason, DOSMAX does not automatically install on your
system, you may install it manually by following these directions.
1. Install QPOPUP.EXE into the Windows STARTUP group. (If you have
deleted your STARTUP group, recreate the group according to your
Windows documentation.) Choose WINDOW from Program Manager to locate
your STARTUP group. Maximize your STARTUP group. Choose NEW from the
FILE menu of Program Manager. Click on the button to create a new
Item. In the dialog box Group Program Properties, type
C:\386MAX\QPOPUP.EXE in the Command Line box. The red Q icon for
QPOPUP should appear in your STARTUP Group.
2. With Windows active, choose FILE from Program Manager. When the
dialog box with New Program Object appears, choose Program Group. In
the dialog box Group Program Properties, type C:\386MAX\QUALITAS.GRP
in the Group File box. You may leave the Description box blank. When
you click OK, you should notice that a new Qualitas DOSMAX group has
been added to Program Manager. To use DOSMAX, double-click on this
group.
If you encounter problems creating new program groups or items, please
consult the documentation for Windows regarding these topics. For
information on how to use DOSMAX refer to your USER GUIDE UPDATE for
386MAX.
