Installing PC-MIPS
PC-MIPS can be installed on any hard disk drive (e.g., C:,
D:, E:,,,etc.). Once a drive is selected, the installer should
create a root-level directory named \MIPS. Next, the two sub-
directories \MIPS\BIN and \MIPS\AUX_FILE must be created. These
directories are created using the DOS command MKDIR or MD. The
executable programs of PC-MIPS are stored in the \MIPS\BIN
directory. The \MIPS\AUX_FILE directory contains various
auxiliary files used by PC-MIPS programs.
Once the program has been copied to the disk, the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file should be changed so that the display program IMDISP knows
what display device is being used. This is done by setting the
environmental variable IMDISP. For instance, if the hardware has
standard VGA capabilities, the line SET IMDISP=VGA must be added
to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. A complete list of devices supported
by IMDISP can be found in the file IMDISP.DOC.
At this point PC-MIPS can be run by typing \MIPS\BIN\PCMIPS.
If \MIPS\BIN is added to the DOS PATH command in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file, the system can be run by simply typing 'PCMIPS'.
