VERSADEX
Version 1.00
Copyright (c) 1992 Michael M. Glaze
All Rights Reserved
Within this package is a program called "INSTALL.EXE". VERSADEX must be
installed using "INSTALL.EXE". You must be logged onto the same drive and in
the same directory as "INSTALL.EXE" when you run "INSTALL.EXE". From the DOS
prompt, and the same drive and directory as "INSTALL.EXE", type "INSTALL"
(without quotes) and press <ENTER>, or <RETURN>. The program files will be
installed onto your "C" drive in the directory named "VERSADEX". They must
be installed to this directory for VERSADEX to operate properly. The
installation program will do everything for you including creating the
directory. Once installed be sure to read the following four files before
running VERSADEX for the first time:
1) PACKING.LST 2) README.NOW
3) VERSADEX.DOC 4) REGISTER.DOC
These files will be on the "C" drive, in the "VERSADEX" subdirectory.
Once the installation is finished you will find yourself in this sub-
directory on the "C" drive.
ONCE THE INSTALLATION PROGRAM IS FINISHED:
Approximately 545k of conventional DOS RAM is required to make VERSADEX
memory resident. After VERSADEX becomes resident it only requires 5k. If you
receive the message "Not enough memory. Program not loaded.", one of two things
will have occurred:
1) You are using several TSR's (other memory resident programs) that are
being loaded ahead of VERSADEX.
SOLUTION: Load VERSADEX before the other TSR's so that when it is
VERSADEX's turn to load, there is at least 545k free space.
2) Device drivers in your CONFIG.SYS file are using up too much memory.
SOLUTION: See if you can live without some of them or try to reduce the
amount of memory that each is using. For example, reduce the
size of any RAM disks that may be in memory.
Start VERSADEX by typing "VERSADEX" (without quotes) and then pressing
<ENTER> or <RETURN>. If you have enough EXPANDED memory free, VERSADEX will
try, by default, to use that area to swap itself in and out of memory. If you
do not have EXPANDED memory at all or if you do not have enough EXPANDED memory
free, VERSADEX will use your hard drive to swap itself in and out of memory.
There are four switches that you may use with VERSADEX which you will learn
about when you run VERSADEX the first time. One of these is the "D" switch
which forces VERSADEX to use your hard disk to swap itself in and out of
memory. If you have EXPANDED memory but would like to reserve it for uses other
than VERSADEX, then use the "D" switch. The "D" switch is not necessary if you
do not have EXPANDED memory. VERSADEX detects whether you have EXPANDED memory
and if you have enough EXPANDED memory free, and if you do not, will use your
hard drive automatically.
