- 1. Installation Notes
-
- To install XDS, create a new directory and unzip the contents of
- this archive into it. For example, assuming that the archive
- resides on a floppy disk A:, you should type:
-
- c:
- mkdir XDS

- unzip a:\xco212p.zip
-
- In the following text we assume that you choose the C:\XDS
- directory for installation. If another directory was used, please
- use the name of that directory instead.
-
- Then you'll have to edit your CONFIG.SYS file:
-
- - add the directory C:\XDS\BIN to executables search PATH
-
- - add the directory C:\XDS\DOC to BOOKSHELF environment variable
- which is used by on-line documentation viewer.

- The "mkwrkdir" command file (C:\XDS\BIN\mkwrkdir.cmd) will help you
- to create the working directory:

- the required lines will be added to the redirection file. The file
