- ╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
-
- Relational Stock Analysis requires 640K of memory, 1 360K floppy
- drive (hard drive recommended), and a graphics card and monitor.
- Graphics modes supported include VGA, EGA, CGA, and Hercules.

- ║ SECTION 01.03.01 : INSTALLATION ║
- ╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
-
- INSTALLATION FOR A HARD DRIVE SYSTEM
-
- Create a directory for installing the files. For example purposes
- we will create directory 'RSA' on drive 'C' and copy files from
- the green distribution diskette in drive 'A'.
-
- 1) Create directory :
- MKDIR C:\RSA
-
- 2) Copy all files to directory :
- COPY A:\*.* C:\RSA
-
- 3) Install parameter file for your monitor type :
-
- For 64 color VGA graphics :
- COPY A:\VPARMS.DAT C:\RSA\PARMS.DAT
- or) 16 color VGA graphics :
- COPY A:\V16PARMS.DAT C:\RSA\PARMS.DAT
- or) 64 color EGA graphics :
- COPY A:\EPARMS.DAT C:\RSA\PARMS.DAT
- or) 16 color EGA graphics :
- COPY A:\E16PARMS.DAT C:\RSA\PARMS.DAT
- or) 4 color CGA graphics :
- COPY A:\CPARMS.DAT C:\RSA\PARMS.DAT
- or) VGA monochrome graphics :
- COPY A:\VMPARMS.DAT C:\RSA\PARMS.DAT
- or) EGA monochrome graphics :
- COPY A:\EMPARMS.DAT C:\RSA\PARMS.DAT
- or) CGA monochrome graphics :
- COPY A:\CMPARMS.DAT C:\RSA\PARMS.DAT
- or) Hercules monochrome graphics :
- COPY A:\HMPARMS.DAT C:\RSA\PARMS.DAT
-
- If 360K diskettes are being used for installation, insert the
- black distribution diskette in drive 'A'.
-
- 4) Copy all files to directory :
- COPY A:\*.* C:\RSA
-
- 5) Change current directory :
- CD C:\RSA
-
- 6) Change current drive :
- C:
-
- 7) Execute RSA.BAT file to start program.

-
-
- INSTALLATION FOR A FLOPPY DRIVE ONLY SYSTEM
-
- The Relational Stock Analysis can be executed directly from the
- green distribution diskette. You should make a backup copy
- of both diskettes before starting.
-
- 1) Install parameter file for your monitor type :
-
- For 64 color VGA graphics :
- COPY A:\VPARMS.DAT A:\PARMS.DAT
- or) 16 color VGA graphics :
- COPY A:\V16PARMS.DAT A:\PARMS.DAT
- or) 64 color EGA graphics :
- COPY A:\EPARMS.DAT A:\PARMS.DAT
- or) 16 color EGA graphics :
- COPY A:\E16PARMS.DAT A:\PARMS.DAT
- or) 4 color CGA graphics :
- COPY A:\CPARMS.DAT A:\PARMS.DAT
- or) VGA monochrome graphics :
- COPY A:\VMPARMS.DAT A:\PARMS.DAT
- or) EGA monochrome graphics :
- COPY A:\EMPARMS.DAT A:\PARMS.DAT
- or) CGA monochrome graphics :
- COPY A:\CMPARMS.DAT A:\PARMS.DAT
- or) Hercules monochrome graphics :
- COPY A:\HMPARMS.DAT A:\PARMS.DAT
-
- 2) Execute RSA.BAT file to start program.
