- 1. VERSAMAP installation is a simple process of copying the VERSAMAP
- file(s) to a directory called VERSAMAP on your hard disk. If you
- obtained VERSAMAP as a zip file (i.e. VMAP151.ZIP), you must unzip
- the zip file in the VERSAMAP directory.
-
- The following instructions describe how to install VERSAMAP from
- floppy disk drive A, or from a directory (C:\SOURCE) on your
- hard disk. If you are installing VERSAMAP from your hard disk, you
- must change the name of the source directory (C:\SOURCE) in the
- following example to the actual name of your source directory.
- The files will be installed in a target directory called VERSAMAP.
- You may change the name of the target directory if you wish.
-
- a. Copy the file(s) from your source drive and directory to your
- hard disk by typing one of the following commands at the DOS
- prompt, and then pressing Enter.
-
- from drive A XCOPY A: C:\VERSAMAP\ /S /V
-
- from C:\SOURCE XCOPY C:\SOURCE C:\VERSAMAP\ /S /V
-
- b. If the VERSAMAP files are contained in a zip file, unzip the zip
- file in the VERSAMAP directory.
-
- The XCOPY command will copy all files and subdirectories from your
- source directory to the target directory VERSAMAP on your hard
- drive. The XCOPY command will create a VERSAMAP directory if it
- does not already exist on your hard drive. If a VERSAMAP directory
- already exists on your hard drive, the XCOPY command will overwrite
- any files of the same name in the existing VERSAMAP directory.
-
- VERSAMAP is now installed. Store the original VERSAMAP file(s) in
- a safe place as your backup.
-
- 2. To run VERSAMAP, change to the drive and directory containing
- VERSAMAP, type VMAP at the DOS prompt, then press Enter.
-
- When the program has finished loading, the screen will display the
- author's name and address.
-
- To plot the default world map, press Alt, then the letter R,
- then press Enter.
-
- 3. Pull down menus are accessed with the Alt key. Press Alt and then
- the highlighted letter to access a menu. Use the up and down
- cursor keys; then press Enter to select a menu item.
-
- 4. To exit VERSAMAP press Esc, then Alt, then the letter P, then the
- letter X.
-
- 5. To print the manual, set the printer to the extreme top of a new
- page of paper (at the perforation for tractor feed paper); turn on
- the printer; type the following command at the DOS prompt,
-
- TYPE VMAP.DOC > PRN
-
- and press Enter. The manual is 70 pages long.
-
- If you are printing the manual from a word processor, set all
- margins (top, bottom, left, right) to 0; and set it for 66 lines
- of text, and a page length of 66 lines.
