- ACCESS PACK FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES
- ----------------------------------------------------
- Access Pack for Microsoft Windows makes it easier
- for you to control the keyboard and mouse when you use
- Windows version 3.1.
-
- The Access Pack software is fully compatible with
- the standard Windows configurations, and should not
- be noticeable by users who do not want to use its
- additional features. Therefore, Access Pack can be
- installed on any computer for users who require it.
-
- Access Pack consists of three keyboard drivers
- and a mouse driver. These drivers replace the standard
- Windows drivers for most hardware configurations.
- It also includes ACCESS.EXE, a program that controls
- the Access functions, and ACCESS.WRI, an online document
- that describes Access Pack and explains how to use it.
-
- You can install Access Pack by running the Windows Setup program
- from MS-DOS, or you can install the files by hand. For more
- information about running maintenance-mode Setup, see Chapter
- 15, "Maintaining Windows with Setup," in the "Microsoft Windows
- User's Guide."
-
- Installing Access Pack using Windows 3.1 Setup
- ----------------------------------------------
- If you installed Windows 3.1 using "SETUP /N", see "Installing
- Access Pack by Hand" later in this document. (See your System
- Network Administrator if you don't know how Windows was
- installed on your system.)
-
- If you are running Microsoft Windows version 3.0, you must
- install the files by hand. This procedure is described later in
- this document.
-
- To install Access Pack
-
- 1 Exit Windows to return to the MS-DOS prompt.
-
- 2 From your Windows directory, type the following at the
- MS-DOS prompt:
-
- setup
-
- 3 Move the selection cursor to the Computer setting, and then
- press ENTER. (Note the current setting for use in step 6.)
-
- 4 Scroll to the bottom of the list and select "Other," and then
- press ENTER.
-
- 5 When Setup prompts you for the disk containing the
- device driver, insert the disk you made during the
- downloading procedure, and then press ENTER.
-
- Or type the path of the directory on your hard drive where
- you downloaded the Access Pack files, and then press ENTER.
-
- 6 From the list, select the setting that most closely matches
- your computer type but includes the word (Access)--for example,
- if your original setting was "MS-DOS System" select
- "MS-DOS System (Access)." Then press ENTER.
-
- If your system is not listed with the word "(Access)",
- see "Installing Access Pack by Hand" later in this document.
-
- 7 Move the selection cursor to the Mouse setting, and then press
- ENTER. (Note the current setting for use in step 8.)
-
- NOTE: You MUST select a Mouse entry that includes the
- word (Access) even if you are not using a mouse.
-
- 8 From the list, select the setting that most closely matches
- your mouse type but includes the word (Access)--for example,
- if your original setting was "Microsoft, or IBM PS/2", select
- "Microsoft, or IBM PS/2 (Access)". Then press ENTER.
-
- If you do not have a mouse, select "No mouse or other pointing
- device (Access)".
-
- If your mouse entry is not listed with the word "(Access)",
- see "Installing Access Pack by Hand" later in this
- document.
-
- 9 Select Complete Changes, and then press ENTER to quit Setup.
-
- If you are asked whether to use the "CURRENT" or "NEW" version
- of a driver, press ESC to use the "NEW" version. You may
- be asked this question more than once.
-
- 10 Start Windows, and then create a program item for the file
- ACCESS.EXE.
-
- For more information about creating program items, see Chapter
- 3, "Program Manager," in the "Microsoft Windows User's Guide."
-
- For information about using Access Pack, see the ACCESS.WRI
- online document that was copied to your system when the keyboard
- and mouse drivers were installed.
-
- After you start Windows, you might want to print the ACCESS.WRI
- file by using Windows Write. For more information about printing
- documents, see Chapter 9, "Write," in the "Microsoft Windows
- User's Guide."
-
-
- Installing Access Pack by Hand
- ------------------------------
- If you have followed the Setup procedure described previously,
- and your system does not match those listed, you may still be able
- to install the Access Pack without using Setup.
-
- You do this by using a text editor, such as MS-DOS Editor, to
- change the SYSTEM.INI file. The SYSTEM.INI file is located in
- your Windows directory. For more information on the format of
- the SYSTEM.INI file and how to edit .INI files, see the SYSINI.WRI
- file in your Windows directory.
-
- To install Access Pack by hand
-
- 1 Exit Windows to return to the MS-DOS prompt.
-
- 2 Open the SYSTEM.INI file by using a text editor.
-
- 3 Find the section labeled [boot].
-
- 4 In the [boot] section, find the entry labeled
- "keyboard.drv=".
-
- 5 The following entries indicate that you are already running an
- older version of the Access Pack keyboard driver:
-
- keyboard.drv=ap-kbd.drv
- keyboard.drv=ap-kbdhp.drv
- keyboard.drv=ap-kbdol.drv
-
- If the entry in the [boot] section of your SYSTEM.INI file
- matches any of these, you need to copy the newer version of
- the corresponding .drv file to the Windows SYSTEM directory.
- For example, if the Access Pack software is located on a
- floppy disk in your A: drive, and your SYSTEM.INI file reads
- "keyboard.drv=ap-kbd.drv", and Windows is installed in the
- WINDOWS directory on drive C:, then you should type the
- following command at the MS-DOS prompt:
-
- copy a:ap-kbd.drv c:\windows\system
-
- Note: If you are using a shared copy of Windows located on a
- network drive you will need to copy all files to your Windows
- directory rather than a SYSTEM directory. You will not have
- a Windows SYSTEM directory, or you may have a SYSTEM directory
- which is empty. If you are not sure whether your are running
- a shared copy of Windows, consult your system administrator.
-
- The following entries indicate that you are running a keyboard
- driver compatible with the corresponding Access keyboard
- driver,
-
- If your entry says: change the entry to: and copy file
- ------------------- -------------------- -------------
- keyboard.drv=keyboard.drv keyboard.drv=ap-kbd.drv ap-kbd.drv
- keyboard.drv=kbdhp.drv keyboard.drv=ap-kbdhp.drv ap-kbdhp.drv
- keyboard.drv=kbdoli.drv keyboard.drv=ap-kbdol.drv ap-kbdol.drv
-
- Instructions for copying the appropriate file to the Windows or
- Windows SYSTEM directory are explained in the preceding paragraph.
-
- If your entry does not match any of those listed here, then
- your computer may not be compatible with the Access Pack
- software. Contact your computer manufacturer to find out
- if your computer can be used with any of the Access Pack
- keyboard drivers.
-
- 6 In the [boot] section, find the entry labeled "mouse.drv=".
-
- If the entry says "mouse.drv=ap-mou.drv" then you are already
- running an older version of the Access Pack mouse driver. You
- need to copy the newer version of the AP-MOU.DRV file to your
- Windows or Windows SYSTEM directory. Instructions for copying
- the appropriate files are explained in step 5.
-
- If the entry says "mouse.drv=mouse.drv" then you are running
- standard keyboard drivers which can be replaced with the
- corresponding Access driver. Copy the file AP-MOU.DRV to your
- Windows or Windows SYSTEM directory, and edit the entry in
- SYSTEM.INI to say "mouse.drv=ap-mou.drv". Instructions for
- copying the appropriate files are explained in step 5.
-
- If your entry does not match any of those listed here, contact
- your mouse manufacturer to find out if your mouse is
- compatible with the Microsoft mouse driver, or if the
- manufacturer has an Access driver available.
-
- If you cannot install an Access mouse driver, you will not be
- able to use the Access Pack's MouseKeys feature or control
- the mouse using the SerialKeys feature, but you will still be
- able to use the keyboard-related features.
-
- 7 Copy the following files from the Access Pack into your
- Windows directory:
-
- ACCESS.EXE
- ACCESS31.HLP
- ACCESSU.DLL
- ACCESS.WRI
- IBMMKEYS.BMP
- SKWIN.BMP
-
- For example, if the Access Pack software is on a floppy disk
- in drive A: and Windows is installed in the WINDOWS directory
- on drive C:, then you should type the following commands at
- the MS-DOS prompt:
-
- copy a:access.exe c:\windows
- copy a:access31.hlp c:\windows
- copy a:accessu.dll c:\windows
- copy a:access.wri c:\windows
- copy a:ibmmkeys.bmp c:\windows
- copy a:skwin.bmp c:\windows
-
- Note: If you are running Microsoft Windows version 3.0,
- you should copy the file ACCESS30.HLP instead of ACCESS31.HLP.
-
- 8 Start Windows, and then create a program item for the file
- ACCESS.EXE.
-
- For more information about creating program items, see Chapter
- 3, "Program Manager," in the "Microsoft Windows User's Guide."
-
- For information about using Access Pack, see the ACCESS.WRI
- online document that was copied to your system when the keyboard
- and mouse drivers were installed.
-
- After you start Windows, you might want to print the ACCESS.WRI
- file by using Windows Write. For more information about printing
- documents, see Chapter 9, "Write," in the "Microsoft Windows
- User's Guide."
