- Welcome to EARTHWATCH 3.5!
-
- EWATCH35.ZIP contains two self-extracting files, one for a VGA version
- and one for CGA. You can install either or both in separate directories
- or the same directory on your hard drive. After installation, the VGA
- program has twenty-eight files associated with it, while the CGA has
- nine. Of these, three are shared (BRUN45.EXE, GAZ35.DAT, and
- README.DOC).
-
- The installation process requires that you designate target directory(s)
- on your hard drive. If you already have an older version of Earthwatch
- in a directory on your hard drive and wish to designate that same
- directory, that's fine, but I recommend that you first delete all of the
- old files to get rid of unnecessary clutter.
-
- If you have EWATCH35.ZIP on a diskette, insert it in your floppy drive
- (usually A or B). How you now enter the installation command depends
- on whether you are operating from DOS, Windows, or Windows 95/97.
- From DOS, first enter A: or B: designating the floppy drive that
- holds the diskette. From Windows, click on FILE - RUN, and designate
- the drive (A: or B:). From Windows 95/97 click on START - RUN and
- designate the drive (A: or B:). Now you are ready to enter the
- installation command described below.
-
- If you have EWATCH35.ZIP in a directory on your hard drive, the procedure
- is similar, again depending on whether you operate from DOS, Windows,
- or Windows 95/97. From DOS, go to the directory containing EWATCH35.ZIP.
- From Windows, click on FILE - RUN and designate the directory containing
- EWATCH35.ZIP. From Windows 95/97 click on START - RUN and designate the
- directory containing EWATCH35.ZIP.
-
- Now for the installation command. For the VGA version, enter
- INSTALLV C:\DIRNAME, where DIRNAME is the directory you wish to
- designate to contain the VGA version program files. It is not necessary
- to create this directory in advance: If it does not exist, the install
- program will create it.
-
- To install the CGA version, enter INSTALLC C:\DIRNAME. Again, DIRNAME
- may be the same or different from the one chosen for the VGA
- installation.
-
- Once installed, you can run the VGA or CGA program from DOS by entering
- EWV or EWC respectively from its directory. From Windows or Windows 95/,
- 97, run by double clicking on EWV.BAT or EWC.BAT from the File Manager
- (Windows) or the Explorer (Windows 95/97). Better yet - from Windows
- or Windows 95/97, create an icon from which to launch EarthWatch.
