- 2.__Installing_OS/2_Icon
-
- Two executable binary files are needed to run Icon:
-
- icont.exe translator
- iconx.exe executor
-
- These files should be located at a place on your PATH specifica-
- tion.
-
- The distribution is contained in several files in ZIP
- format. The distribution files are:
-
- docs.zip documents
- icon.zip executable binary files
- readme installation overview and recent notes
- samples.zip Icon programs and data
-
-
- To install the .exe files, set your current directory to the
- desired place, place the appropriate distribution diskette in
- drive A, and dearchive the files there using unzip.exe. For
- example, to dearchive the executable binary files, the following
- will do:
-
- unzip a:icon
-
- The same technique can be used for extracting the remaining
- files.
