For most computer systems typing ANSETUP will install Ample
Notice satisfactorily. If you run into problems (for example if
you have DOS 3.0, which has bugs that surface in batch files) you
can install the package yourself.
Installing Ample Notice is simply a matter of putting a few
files where DOS can find them. If you're installing onto a
floppy, you will probably be content to put all files in the root
directory; if you have a hard disk, we recommend putting all Ample
Notice files in a subdirectory called \AN2.
Here is the procedure:
1. Copy the files AN.EXE (the program itself), the NOTES file,
ALARM.COM (the pop-up alarm clock), ANHELP (the help file) and
ANINST.EXE (a program for changing AN's default colors, etc.)
to the appropriate disk/subdirectory.
2. Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that AN.EXE's directory is in
your DOS PATH and so that ALARM is run by AUTOEXEC.BAT. You
can do this automatically by typing ANINST followed by the
location of AN.EXE; for example,
ANINST C:\AN2
If you want to do this editing yourself instead, here's how:
Put the directory containing AN.EXE in your DOS PATH.
For example, if this file is in C:\AN2, then you should add
;C:\AN2
to the end of the line starting with PATH if there is one; if
there is no PATH line in AUTOEXEC.BAT then add the line
PATH \;C:\AN2
Following the PATH line add the line
ALARM
The changes you make will take effect the next time you boot your
computer.
