- INSTALL
-
- This file needs updated.
-
- Pre-requesits:
-
- 1. Compile CATS and copy the catdb.lib file to the \source\fdisk directory.
- 2. Copy the bootnorm.asm file to the \source\fdisk directory.
- 3. Copy the booteasy.asm file to the \source\fdisk directory.
-
- How to install the program from the source code:
-
- To compile the source code you need:
- 1. Borland Turbo C++ 3.0 or compatible.
- 2. The included source code and header file for fdisk.exe.
- 3. A PC running some form of DOS. (Probably greater than MS-DOS 4.0.)
-
- Instructions:
-
- Note: I used Borland Turbo C++ 3.0 as a compiler, the instructions will
- vary depending upon the compiler used.
-
- 1. Run the GUI version of Borland Turbo C++ 3.0 by typing "tc"
- 2. Make sure that your compiler is set to at least the "large" memory
- model.
- 3. Go under "Project" on the menu bar at the top of the screen and open
- the fdisk.prj project file.
- 4. Go under "Compile" on the menu bar and select "Build all."
- 5. Exit from the compiler and you will have the executable.
-
- OR
-
- 1. Place all of the source code in one subdirectory.
- 2. From the command line, type "make all".
- 3. After compiling and linking, you should have the fdisk.exe file.
-
- Optional:
- Include the "part.ini" file in a directory in the PATH to give
- the program enhanced partition type lookup capability.
-
- Include the "fdisk.ini" file in a directory in the PATH to be able
- to set some commonly used options.
-
- Use the APACK program, by Jeorgen Ibsen, to turn the executable into a
- small, packed executable. The command to do so is "apack -x fdisk.exe
- fdiska.exe" Then delete the fdisk.exe file and rename the fdiska.exe
- to fdisk.exe.
