- README file for KAPPA 1.1 'C' Library Installation
-
- This file gives further information on installing KAPPA's 'C' Library
- on your computer. You should read this file if the installation procedure
- reports problems.
-
- The installation script assumes that you have already installed Windows
- 3.0 on your hard disk. NOTE: KAPPA 1.1 is only compatible with Microsoft
- Windows 3.0 and above. If you need to upgrade your version of Windows,
- you may want to do so before installing KAPPA.
-
- If, after reading this file, you still cannot get KAPPA running on your
- computer, please call IntelliCorp Customer Support at (415) 965-5700.

- Install Problems
- ----------------
-
- The KAPPA installation procedure assumes you have already installed Windows
- 3.0 on your machine. If you have not, you are advised to first install
- Windows which would assist you in determining whether your machine is
- configured appropriately (not necessarily optimally) for running KAPPA.
-
- To install KAPPA Library from floppy drive A:, type "a:" and "install".
-
- The install program will check to make sure your computer has sufficient
- free space on hard disk. Installing KAPPA's 'C' libraries requires about
- 1.5MB of disk space. The install program will report an error if there is
- not enough disk space on the current drive.
-
- Most computers have at least this amount of "unnecessary" files on their
- hard disk. To make room for KAPPA, you can delete old, unneeded files from
- your hard disk. To be careful, you can copy these files to floppy disks
- before deleting them. The DOS "dir" command tells you how much disk space
- is available.
-
- Some computers actually have more than one hard disk, denoted by drive
- letters "D:" or "E:" in addition to the customary "C:". If your computer
- has one of these additional drives, you can install KAPPA on that drive
- instead of "C:".
-
-
-
- KAPPA Directory Exists
- ----------------------
-
- The library installation procedure checks to see if the directory that
- you specify already exists on your computer's hard disk. If it finds
- this directory, it assumes the library has already been installed, or
- that you happen to have a directory by that name for some other purpose.
- In either case, the program will ask for permission before writing any
- of the library files into an existing directory.
-
- Since the normal place to install the KAPPA Libraries is in KAPPA/LIBRARY,
- it is likely that the KAPPA directory already exists, and that it contains
- the KAPPA Program files. In this case, just answer "Y"es to the request to
- overwrite.
-
- If you have already installed the library and need to install it again
- (perhaps because you accidentally deleted some of the example files), you can
- delete all the files and directories in the library directories, remove the
- directory, and then run the install program.
-
- You can also solve the conflict by specifying a different directory or
- device to install into.

- Installing KAPPA 'C' Libraries Anyway
- -------------------------------------
-
- If for any reason, you decide to install KAPPA yourself, without using the
- install program, follow these steps:
-
- 1. Create the directory to hold the library files (in a directory
- called \CLIB). Type:
-
- c:┘ (or another letter for other drive)
- cd \┘ (to go to "root" of drive)
- md \clib┘ (use another name if you like)
-
- 2. Change to the installation directory. Type:
-
- cd \clib┘ (or the other name you used above)
-
- 3. Uncompress the libraries. (This will take a few minutes.) Type:
-
- a:pkunzip a:clib1.zip┘ (if install floppy is in drive B:,
- replace both "a:" with "b:")
-
- a:pkunzip a:clib2.zip┘ (if install floppy is in drive B:,
- replace both "a:" with "b:")
-
-
- a:pkunzip a:clibutil.zip┘ (if install floppy is in drive B:,
- replace both "a:" with "b:")
-
- 4. Create four directories:
-
- md example1┘ (use another name if you like)
- md example2┘ (use another name if you like)
- md example3┘ (use another name if you like)
- md example4┘ (use another name if you like)
-
- 4. Move to each directory and uncompress the corresponding files:
-
- cd example1┘ (or the other name you used above)
- a:pkunzip a:example1.zip┘ (if install floppy is in drive B:,
- replace both "a:" with "b:")
- cd ..\example2┘ (or the other name you used above)
- a:pkunzip a:example2.zip┘ (if install floppy is in drive B:,
- replace both "a:" with "b:")
- cd ..\example3┘ (or the other name you used above)
- a:pkunzip a:example3.zip┘ (if install floppy is in drive B:,
- replace both "a:" with "b:")
- cd ..\example4┘ (or the other name you used above)
- a:pkunzip a:example4.zip┘ (if install floppy is in drive B:,
- replace both "a:" with "b:")
-
- That's all there is to installing the KAPPA 'C' library.
