How to Install Euphoria on DOS/Windows
To install Euphoria you need:
-----------------------------
* a 386 or higher PC
* at least 640K of memory
* 5 Mb of free hard disk space
The Install Procedure
=====================
1. cd into the directory containing the Euphoria files
2. type:
install
If you have downloaded Euphoria and pkunzip'd in (say) c:\tmp you would type:
cd c:\tmp
install
If you happen to have unzipped into C:\EUPHORIA, that's fine, cd into it and
type: install
You can also install under Windows by double-clicking on install.bat
You will be asked which drive to put the EUPHORIA directory on. Later you will
be asked to approve any changes to your autoexec.bat file. Finally, *you need
to shut down and restart (soft-reboot) your computer* so the new autoexec.bat
will take effect.
After installing, see doc\what2do.doc (or html\what2do.htm) for ideas on how
to use this package. You should also read readme.doc (or readme.htm) if you
haven't done so already.
Enjoy!
How to Uninstall Euphoria
=========================
1. delete the EUPHORIA directory
2. remove the 2 references to "EUPHORIA" from your autoexec.bat file
If you have problems installing ...
-----------------------------------
* If the install appeared to run ok, did you remember to shut down and
restart your computer?
* If a failure happens during the install, shut down any large
applications that you have running, and try it again.
* Try installing under plain DOS, outside of Windows.
* Disable or cut back programs such as SMARTDRV that may be consuming
large amounts of extended memory.
* Try typing:
SET CAUSEWAY=LOWMEM:80
before you run install.bat
* There are several possible reasons why the install program will decide
not to edit your autoexec.bat file. If this happens you should follow
the manual procedure described below.
* If your system does not use an autoexec.bat file (e.g. Windows NT and
possibly Windows 95) then set the EUDIR and PATH variables in whatever
way your system allows. If you have an autoexec.bat file, but it
doesn't contain a PATH command, you will have to create one that
includes C:\EUPHORIA\BIN.
* If you have less than 20 megabytes of free disk space, free up a few
megabytes, and run install.bat again.
If you need help installing Euphoria, send e-mail to: rds@attcanada.net
Be sure to describe your machine configuration: memory, free extended memory,
operating system, etc.
How to manually edit autoexec.bat
---------------------------------
In some cases the install program will not be able to modify your autoexec.bat
file for you automatically, and you will have to do the job yourself using a
text editor.
1. - In the file c:\autoexec.bat add C:\EUPHORIA\BIN to the list of
directories in your PATH command. You might use the MS-DOS EDIT command,
Windows Notepad or any other text editor to do this. e.g.
edit c:\autoexec.bat
(Although Euphoria is not fully installed at this point, you could type:
cd c:\euphoria\bin
ed c:\autoexec.bat
to edit using the Euphoria editor. See doc\ed.doc)
2. - In the same autoexec.bat file add a new line:
SET EUDIR=C:\EUPHORIA
The EUDIR environment variable indicates the full path to the main
Euphoria directory.
3. - Reboot (restart) your machine. This will define your new PATH and EUDIR
environment variables.
