- INSTALLATION NOTES FOR PAGEMAKER 5.0 TRIAL VERSION
- JUNE, 1993.
-
- The following information was not available when the
- PageMaker 5.0 Trial Version installation instructions
- went to press. Please read these notes before installing
- the PageMaker 5.0 Trial Version.
-
- =====================================
- Streamlining installation performance
- =====================================
-
- A low BUFFERS setting in your CONFIG.SYS file can
- substantially increase the time it takes to install
- PageMaker. For that reason, the Aldus Setup program
- will alert you if the BUFFERS setting in your
- CONFIG.SYS file is less than 20. For optimal
- installation performance, consider increasing the
- BUFFERS statement in your CONFIG.SYS to 50.
-
-
- IMPORTANT: make a system diskette that contains
- a backup copy of the CONFIG.SYS before editing it,
- as an editing error can cause your system to function
- improperly. If you do edit CONFIG.SYS, you will need
- to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
- Refer to your Windows or DOS documentation for details
- on CONFIG.SYS.
-
- Disk-caching software, such as Windows SMARTDrive, can
- supplement the DOS file buffering system. If your caching
- program is set up to cache the reading of files from your
- floppy drive, you will not need to change your buffers
- setting. In general, using SMARTDrive or another disk-
- caching program helps ensure optimal installation. Windows
- is typically setup to run SMARTDrive automatically. If for
- some reason SMARTDrive is not installed on your system, or
- if you want to change its settings, refer to your Windows
- documentation for instructions.
-
- =========================================
- Making sure hard drive space is available
- =========================================
-
- You will need approximately 2MB more free space on your
- hard drive than the Aldus Setup program informs you during
- installation.
-
- ========================================
- Preparing to install the printer drivers
- ========================================
-
- You cannot print to a PostScript or a non-PostScript
- printer with the PageMaker 5.0 Trial Version until you
- install the newest Microsoft printer drivers included
- on the Trial Version disks. Older printer drivers
- (included with Windows 3.1) do not support the newer
- printer driver technology required by PageMaker 5.0.
-
- To install the printer drivers included with PageMaker,
- follow the steps outlined in the PM5PRINT.WRI file, which
- appears as the "Important Printer Info" file in the Aldus
- group in the Windows Program Manager.
-
- ==========================================
- Launching PageMaker 5.0 after installation
- ==========================================
-
- If you launch PageMaker from the File Manager, be sure
- to click the file "pm5tv.exe" as opposed to "pm5apptv.exe."
