- Quick Starter
- =============
- Open the package into a floppy in either drive A or B, or into a dedicated
- directory on the hard drive, preferably C:\IV. Login to the floppy drive, or
- into the directory on the HD and run INSTALL/FAST. InVircible will install
- itself with the default settings in directory C:\IV. A search path to C:\IV
- will be added in the AUTOEXEC as well as the commands IVINIT and IVB DAILY.
- InVircible will run these test on subsequent bootings.
-
- It is highly recommended to prepare a ResQdiskette immediately after the
- installation of InVircible. Insert a formatted floppy (720K/1.2M or 1.44M)
- in drive A, go to InVircible's directory and run INSTALL/R. A search path
- should exist to the SYS.COM file (usually in the C:\DOS directory).
-
- Other than plain / standard configurations: If your computer requires
- special drivers in order to recognize a hard drive or partition at boot, or
- if you have difficulties in making the rescue diskette then proceed as
- follows. Format a bootable floppy in drive A, copy the necessary drivers,
- create and edit a CONFIG.SYS file on the floppy, and copy the IV files to
- the floppy. Now log to drive A and run INSTALL/R. The following drivers will
- be recognized by IV's rescue disk procedure: DoubleSpace, Stacker and Disk
- Manager (if present in the config.sys).
-
- For quick familiarization run IVMENU and press F1 to open the on-line
- hypertext help.
-
- Freeware version and Licensing
- ==============================
- InVircible in its Sentry mode is freeware to the private user, and may be
- used at no charge, provided the PC on which InVircible is installed does
- not serve for business or profit.
-
- The recovery functions of InVircible are NOT available in the Sentry mode
- and are enabled only after licensing your copy of the software, or
- purchasing a licensed copy. There is one exception, though. The disaster
- recovery functions of the InVircible ResQdiskette are fully operational in
- the Sentry mode too.
-
- The IV Armor (copyright and patent pending) passive protection is enabled
- only after licensing your copy of IV.
-
- Businesses, corporate, administration and institutional users are accorded
- a 30 day "try before you buy" evaluation period. After which they are
- requested either to purchase a site license to continue using InVircible,
- or remove all copies of InVircible, sentry included, from their computers
- and network servers.
-
- Downloading InVircible from the Internet
- ========================================
- InVircible is regularly uploaded by the author for ftp through the
- Internet. The main InVircible site on the Internet for anonymous ftp is
- ftp.invircible.com.
-
- For InVircible support you can e-mail to Support@InVircible.com.
-
- The current version is identified in the file name, e.g. INVB601A.ZIP is
- version 6.01 revision A.
-
- The manual, in both plain ASCII text and in Windows Word 6 format is
- available from the same hosts. Look for IVMANUAL.ZIP.
-
- For more details run IVHELP. It will open the full featured hypertext
- on-line help.
-
- Compatibility.
- ==============
- Software: Compatibility problems have been encountered with some 32 bit
- access drivers running under DOS. There is no problem with 32 bit access
- drivers running under Windows, as InVircible's SeeThru is inhibited when
- Windows is running. If not absolutely necessary, then don't run a 32 bit
- driver in the config.sys.
-
- Hardware: LBA (logical block access), if used on small capacity IDE
- drives that do not require LBA, will cause erroneous messages in IV. LBA
- should be used only on large capacity IDE that support that mode. There
- may also exist a compatibility problem with few 32 bit hard drive
- controllers.
