 5.2.1  Installing BookManager Library Reader/2

   You can use these instructions to install the Library Reader/2 for the
   first time, add or change the devices that you are using for books, or
   update BookManager READ/2 to locate the devices that contain books.

   Note:  If you want to install both the OS/2 and the DOS versions of the
          library reader on your workstation, first complete these
          instructions for OS/2, then go to 5.4 and complete those
          instructions for DOS.

   These instructions assume that you are using a CD-ROM from this
   collection.

   To set up an IBM Online Library on your workstation under OS/2, do the
   following:

   1.  Remove any collection CD-ROM from its protective case.

   2.  Insert the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.

       If you are not sure how to use your CD-ROM drive, refer to its
       instruction manual to learn how to insert CD-ROMs correctly.

   3.  Go to an OS/2 command prompt.

   4.  Switch to the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive that now contains the
       collection CD-ROM.  For example, if this CD-ROM drive is D, type:

         d:

       If you have more than one CD-ROM drive, you can use any one of them.

   5.  Change to the directory on the CD-ROM that contains the library
       reader.  Type:

         cd \tools\ez2inst

       You are ready to start the Library Reader Installation Program and do
       one of the following:

          Install the library reader for the first time on your hard disk,
           and update your system configuration file to point to the
           bookshelves and books on the CD-ROM.
          Update your system configuration file to point to new devices that
           will contain bookshelves and books.
          Update your system configuration file to point to the bookshelves
           and books on the CD-ROM for a BookManager Library Reader or a
           BookManager READ that you already have installed.


   6.  Enter the library reader INSTALL command.  Type:

         install

       Panel 1 appears on your screen.

   7.  After reading Panel 1, remove it by pressing PgDn.

   8.  On Panel 2, decide which selection applies to your workstation.  To
       change the selection that appears at the top of the screen, type the
       number of your selection over it, and press PgDn to continue.

   9.  On Panel 3, do the following:

       a.  Type the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive that contains a CD-ROM
           from this collection.

           If you have more than one CD-ROM drive, you should also type the
           drive letters for them.  If you do not, you can only use the one
           you named, and you cannot use more than one CD-ROM at a time.

           If you are adding new devices that you want to use for books, add
           their drive letters to the list.

           Note:  If you are installing the library reader for the first time
                  on OS/2, you may want to plan ahead.  You can include the
                  drive letters for other drives that you intend to use for
                  books from the IBM Online Library in the future.  You can
                  include other CD-ROM drives, your hard disks, or your
                  diskette readers.  If you want to customize the IBM Online
                  Library, you should include the drive letters for your hard
                  disks and diskette readers.  All drives you have access to
                  are listed at the top of the screen.

       b.  Make sure that the directory named is correct.

       c.  Make sure that the configuration file or profile named is correct.

       d.  When you are satisfied that this panel is correct, press F10 to
           install the BookManager Library Reader or to update your
           BookManager Library Reader or BookManager READ.


       If you need help with the items on Panel 3, move the cursor to the
       item you want, and press F1 for more information.

   10. When the installation program ends, the instructions on the screen
       tell you either to shut down and restart your system or to start your
       BookManager Library Reader or BookManager READ.  Do one of the
       following:

          If you were told you do not need to shut down your system,
           continue.

          If you were told to shut down and restart your system, continue
           with the instructions in 5.2.2.
