Artware Year 2000 Survival Kit - Installation Instructions for TimEd
====================================================================
Revision 0003, released by Wilfried Brinkmann and Tobias Ernst.
Eine deutsche Anleitung findet sich in INSTALL.DOK.
1. Preface
----------
Please read ..\README.DOC before installing this patch!
This directory contains the following files:
INSTALL.DOC - You are reading it. :-)
INSTALL.DOK - The german edition
TIMED.ASM - Assembler source code for TIMED.COM, only for those that are
interested in it.
TIMED.COM - This program contains service routines for the patched DOS
executable. It is the "launcher application" for the patched
16-bit DOS executable.
TIMED.PSC - Patch script for Wilfried Brinkmann's PATCH program and the
16-bit DOS exeuctable. In addition to the binary code for the
patches, the .PSC script files also contain some quite useful
information for interested assembler programmers.
TIM386.PSC - Patch script for the 32-bit DOS executable.
TIMDEDP.PSC - Patch script for the OS/2 executable.
TIMBUGS.DOC - List of bugs fixed by this patch.
TIMBUGS.DOK - The german edition
2. Installing the patch for the 16-Bit DOS version (TIMED.EXE)
--------------------------------------------------------------
a) If this is the first time that you have applied a patch to TIMED.EXE,
skip to step d).
b) If you have previously installed the experimental patch for TimEd
from ARTFIX02.ZIP, you must now delete the patched executable and
replace it by an unmodified original TIMED.EXE executable such as
that contained in TIM110.ZIP.
c) If you have previously installed the ARTFIX TSR, you should now
delete the ARTFIX.COM file and remove all references to ARTFIX.COM
from your batch files.
d) Get a DOS prompt (that is, open a DOS box if you are running
Windows or OS/2) and change to the directory which containing the file
TIMED.PSC. Start the "patch" program, which is located in the PATCH
subdirectory, e..g. by typing "..\PATCH\PATCH".
e) You will be asked for the name of the executable that you want to
modfy. Enter timed.exe with its full path, for example
"C:\MAILBOX\TIMED\TIMED.EXE". Confirm the "Info" dialog box that
appears after the patch has been performed.
f) After the patch is applied, the file "TIMED.EXE" is renamed to
"TIMED.OVL", because the patched executable cannot be executed as a
standalone application. Copy the file "TIMED.COM" (also in the
directory containing this install.doc file) to the directory where
"TIMED.OVL" resides by entering a command such as "COPY TIMED.COM
C:\MAILBOX\TIMED\TIMED.COM".
g) If your batch files, OS/2 or Windows desktop, PIF files or others
contain explicit references to "TIMED.EXE", you will have to change
them to refer to "TIMED.COM". However, if you have always invoked
TimEd simply by typing "TIMED", nothing will change.
3. Installing the patch for the 32-Bit DOS version and/or the OS/2 version.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
a) These instructions only refer to "TIM386.EXE" and "TIMEDP.EXE". For
instructions on patching "TIMED.EXE", see section 2.
b) If you are running OS/2, open an OS/2 command window. If you are
running Windows or DOS, open a DOS box. Change to the directory
containing the files TIM386.PSC and TIMEDP.PSC.
c) Start the patch program, which is located in the PATCH subdirectory of
this archive. E.g., if you are running OS/2, type "..\PATCH\PATCHP".
If you are running DOS or Windows, type "..\PATCH\PATCH".
d) Enter the name of the executable that you want to modify, including
full path name information. For example, type
"C:\MAILBOX\TIMED\TIMEDP.EXE" or "C:\MAILBOX\TIMED\TIM386.EXE". (You
can patch the DOS/386 executable with PATCHP and you can patch the
OS/2 executable with PATCH, it doesn't matter which PATCH program you
use). Confirm the "Info" dialog box that appears after the patch has
been performed.
e) If you want to patch both TIM386.EXE and TIMEDP.EXE, you have to
repeat steps c) and d) and type in the "other" executable's name in
step d).
f) That's it! No other changes are required for the DOS/386 or OS/2
executables!
