- INSTALLING ASTRO SHAREWARE 2.71
-
- This version of ASTRO is shipped with an install program. If you
- recieved it from a BBS you may find a file with a name AST271-0.
- Note I am not including the file extension. This will either be
- .LZH for files compatible with LHA, and .ZIP for files compatible
- with PKZIP/PKUNZIP.
-
- To Use the Install program, Log onto the drive that you want to
- install from and type INSTALL and press the Enter Key. Then follow
- the instructions.
-
- NOTE: If you must run ASTRO on two 360k floppies and want to print out
- the graphics, make sure your path includes A:\;B:\; so it can find
- the Printer Driver which is on the B: drive. For Example if you
- type PATH at the DOS Command Line, and DOS Responds with PATH=C:\DOS;
- you will need to type PATH=A:\;B:\;C:\DOS; before you start ASTRO
- so you can print the graphics. TIP: Put this in a batch file which
- sets the path and then starts ASTRO.
-
- NOTE: If you have a Monochrome or Hercules Graphics Adapter, You must
- start the Program MSHERC provided before starting ASTRO.
-
- If you did not get an install program, this may be installed on
- a hard disk by creating a single directory and unpacking each file
- into that directory.
-
- You can also install it on a single 5-1/4" 1.2MB floppy or a single
- 3-1/2" 1.44MB floppy using the same procedure. In That case I suggest
- only including the Necessary Graphics Files. See The NOTES section
- below for an explanation.
-
- If You need to install ASTRO on 5-1/4" 360k or 3-1/2" 720k floppies,
- the following table shows the way various disks need to be layed out in
- order to use ASTRO on floppies. The Install program does this for you.
- Follow this in case you can't find the install program and INSTALL.DAT
- data file.
-
- The Original Master File column shows the Master Archive file that you
- will need to un archive using PKUNZIP or LHA. These file Should Not
- Be on your Final Disks.
-
- See the file FILELST.DOC for the Complete File Listing.
