- DO IT YOURSELF GUIDE TO INSTALLING PMVIEW
-
- If you don't have REXX installed, or if you don't want to run
- INSTALL.CMD, please follow these steps to set up PMView "by hand."
-
- These instructions assume you have an unzip utility, and that you know
- how to use it.
-
- 1) Make the directory where you want to put PMView, and unzip the ZIP
- file there. (If you're reading this file, you've probably already
- done this.)
-
- 2) Create a desktop icon the way you usually do. You may want to
- set the associations for the file types you use. For instance,
- to associate JPEG files with PMView, right-clock on the PMView
- icon, open the settings notebook, go to the _Association page, enter
- "*.JPG" (without quotes) in the New name field, then click the
- A_dd >> button. You'll have to do this once for each file type.
-
- If you associate BMP with PMView, it's probably a good idea to
- remove the BMP association from the Icon Editor (and ICONEDIT.EXE).
-
- It's probably also a good idea to set up PMView to start a new
- session each time you double-click on the icon. To do this, go to
- the Window page of the settings notebook, and select _Create new
- window at the bottom of the page.
-
- 3) To set up filters, create a directory for them and unzip FILTERS.ZIP
- there. For instance:
-
- md filters
- cd filters
- unzip ..\filters
-
- Be sure to also set the PMVIEW_FILTER environment variable with the
- path where the filters are (see below).
-
- 4) Set the 3 environment variables for PMView. For instance,
-
- set PMVIEW_INI=e:\pmview\pmview.ini
- set PMVIEW_HELP=e:\pmview\
- set PMVIEW_FILTER=e:\pmview\filters\
-
- (Of course, you should replace "e:\pmview" with the path where you
- put PMView.)
-
- We STRONGLY recommend that you add these 3 lines to your CONFIG.SYS
- file.
-
- That's it! If you've changed your CONFIG.SYS, then shutdown, reboot,
- and enjoy.
