- install SuperDisk programs on your disk drives. The
- SuperDisk menu program understands single and dual floppy
- drive systems without a hard disk, and will even allow
- installation on RAM drives if they are large enough, and

- a file called PCPLUS.DIA to the root directory of your
- hard disk (if you have one), or to the root directory of
- the disk in your second floppy drive (if you have one).
-
- This report will not be saved on systems with one drive
- and no hard disk.
-
- Once saved, you should print out the file by typing:

-
- and send it to us at the usual address, along with a note
- detailing everything about your problem.

- where you wish) and edit the name as required.

- %% chk_inst What
- SuperDisk Help - What to Install
- This check box allows you to specify whether to install
- just the program or the documentation, or both. The
- default is both (when there is both a program and some
- documentation, sometimes it may be just one or the other).
-
- To toggle a check box that sets the option, position the
- cursor on the box and press [Return], or click on it.
-
- In some cases, there is only a program or a document and
- not both. When this is the case, the impossible selection
- will be invisible.
-
- However, in the case of programs that require installation
- you may find that previously unavailable buttons become
- available when installation is complete.

- %% Start

- This button is used after you have specified the directory
- where a program or documentation is to be installed, and
- what you want installed. If the directory you specified
- already exists, you are asked if you want to proceed with
- the installation.
-
- If the SuperDisk detects that either the program or
- documentation are already installed, and you have asked
- for one or both to be installed, you will be asked if you
- wish to proceed with the re-installation.
-
- If you proceed with the re-installation a window opens and
- shows you its progress.
