- Installation
- ============
-
- When you start ZET the first time, please proceed as follows:
-
- Install the original disk to a formatted disk or harddisk in any
- directory.
-
- ZET has been compressed into the file -ZET.EXE (by the compression
- program LHA).
- The English-Spanish-boxes are compressed into -EN-SPAN.EXE.
- If you have registered, you'll find the english-french vocabulary
- in the file -EN-FR.EXE, German-Spanish in -DT-SPAN.EXE and German-
- French in -DT-FRZ.EXE.
-
- You should use the program INSTALL.EXE which is on the disk to
- decompress these files. This should be the most comfortable way,
- too.
-
-
- 3.1 Change to the drive in which you have inserted the disk,
- typing: a:
- or: b:
- and press Enter.
-
- 3.2 If you see anything like A:\> or B:\> on your screen, please
- type install
- and press Enter again.
-
- 3.3 In the installaion program:
- If you wish to copy ZET to your harddisk, you can take over
- the suggested directory name C:\ZET pressing Enter.
- If you wish to copy ZET to a floppy disk, please keep ready a
- formatted disk containing at least 360 kB free memory and
- enter the appropriate drive letter and any directory name. If
- your computer only has one drive and you intend to install
- from one disk to another, copy all files to your harddisk
- first (copy *.* [directory on the harddisk]) and then install
- from the harddisk to the floppy disk.
-
- 3.4 When you have finished copying (decompression), please enter
- at the DOS prompt: zet
- and press Enter.
-
- 3.5 The program itself explains everything else. Anytime you can
- read the words 'F1 Help' in the last line of the screen, you
- can press the 'F1' key and get information and instructions
- about the operation.
-
- Notes:
-
- a) If INSTALL finds the file -ZET.EXE and compressed
- learning-files, these will be used for installaion.
- Otherwise, already decompressed files are simply copied.
- The program INSTALL fulfilles three jobs:
- 1. It installs ZET conveniently and securely.
- 2. It allows to install ZET as often as desired without
- possessing the original disk.
- 3. It assists users to make backups of the box files.
-
-
- b) The copy program INSTALL.EXE works quite slowly when
- copying small box files from one disk to another. It is
- advisable to use the DOS-command XCOPY (xcopy [source]
- [destination]) instead.
-
- c) Important: DOS's COPY doesn't copy empty files which
- ZET requires, too. Please use XCOPY instead.
-
- d) To start ZET you needn't change to its directory typing
- cd [directory]. For example, you can also enter: \zet\zet
- if the program files are located in directory \zet.
-
- e) ZET.EXE requires the file ENGLTEXT.ZET in its directory.
-
- f) The box-files MUST be written to subdirectories, because
- the root directory can hold only a limited number of
- files.
-
- If you haven't copied any files to learn, please enter a directory
- to contain your files, on the program's request. This directory
- will be created, if necessary.
-
- The file 'REGISTER.ZET', which is indispensible for the program's
- work, is written into this directory first. 'REGISTER.ZET' is the
- table of contents of your box-files.
-
- ZET creates a file named 'pfadinfo.zet' in the present directory
- (that is the one you started ZET from), where the present box-file
- directory and up to four of the directories, which you have used
- recently to store your boxes, are listed. You can change between
- these directories easily in the program.
-
- Please make sure the system date of your computer is correct. If
- necessary, change it in menu 'Extra - Date'.
