The accompanying INSTALL.BAT program can be used to install Sign
Friends to floppy disks or to a subdirectory on your hard disk.
To run INSTALL.BAT change to the drive which has the Sign
Friends disk and type:
INSTALL source-drive: destination-drive: \subdirectory
The subdirectory name is needed only if you are installing to a
hard disk. For example,
INSTALL A: C: \SF
will transfer all the Sign Friends files from drive A: to C:\SF
on a hard disk. (Note that C: must be separated from \SF by at
least one space.)
If you are installing to floppy disks, then you must have ready
three formatted 360K diskettes (or two 720K diskettes). Then
you could type:
INSTALL A: B:
to run the installation program.
If INSTALL.BAT fails to run on your machine or if you prefer to
install Sign Friends manually, just follow these steps:
1) Change to the destination drive, for example, B: or C:
2) Create a subdirectory for Sign Friends, for example,
MKDIR \SF
3) Change to the Sign Friends subdirectory, that is,
CD \SF
4) Execute the following commands to extract the Sign Friends
files from the self-extracting archives. Precede each
command with the drive letter (A: or B:) for the floppy
drive which has the Sign Friends diskette. (I'll use A:
for my examples.)
A:SF1
A:SF2
A:SF3
COPY A:RUN.BAT
5) If you are installing to floppy disks, RUN.BAT should be
copied to each disk. Also whichever BASIC you have (BASICA
or GWBASIC) should be copied to disk # 1.
6) If you are installing to a hard disk, be sure BASIC is located
in a subdirectory on your PATH statement (usually this is your
DOS directory) or copy BASIC to the Sign Friends directory.
To run Sign Friends, type one of the following:
RUN
BASICA START (on IBM PCs and PS/2s)
GWBASIC START (on PC compatibles)
