A.1 Installation
A.2 Access From Any Directory
A.3 Increasing Open Files Limit
A.1 INSTALLATION
As explained in Section 1 of this manual, the Publisher is supplied with
an automatic installation program which, when invoked, creates a new
directory, named RUBICON, on the designated drive (or on Drive C if no
drive is designated), and copies the Publisher into it in normal
(non-compressed) form. The support files needed for the type or types of
printer designated by the user are also copied into the RUBICON
directory, along with the default style sheet and configuration file,
SETUP.TAG.
If you specify any printer installation option other than LaserJet-3 or
PostScript, the installation program will create a further directory,
named RUFONT, on the same drive, with one or more of the following
sub-directories containing bitmap fonts: "120x72", "180x180" and/or
"300x300". (These sub-directory names refer to the horizontal and
vertical resolution, in dots per inch, of the fonts they contain.)
There are really only three problems which can arise during the
installation procedure.
1. The installation program will abort if it finds an existing
directory on the designated drive named RUBICON. To solve this
problem, any such directory should be renamed or moved to another
drive, and the installation recommenced from the beginning. Before
recommencing installation, any directory or files which the
installation program copied to the designated drive before it
aborted, should be removed or deleted.
2. The installation program will abort if it determines that there is
insufficient disk space on the designated drive to accommodate the
installation. If sufficient space is available on another drive,
this problem may be solved by simply changing the drive designation
for the installation. Otherwise, the only cure for this is to
provide more disk space by the conventional methods of cleaning up
the disk, deleting redundant and obsolete material, and archiving
seldom-used material.
3. The installation program will terminate without installing the
Publisher if you specify neither the Preview option nor at least
one printer option. The message: "Error: No printer or preview
has been selected." will appear.
The automatic program provides all the installation most users require,
but some users may find it necessary or convenient to perform additional
installation steps, as described below, to provide access to the
Publisher from any directory, or to reconfigure their MS-DOS system to
permit more files to be open simultaneously.
A.2 ACCESS FROM ANY DIRECTORY
It is convenient to be able to use the Publisher from any directory,
instead of having to change to the directory in which it was installed
for each use. This may be achieved by: (1) inserting a PATH command in
the file AUTOEXEC.BAT in the root directory, or amending the existing
PATH command in that file, to designate the directory where the
Publisher is located (normally C:\RUBICON) as part of the path the
computer searches when given a command; and (2) inserting a SET command
in the file AUTOEXEC.BAT in the root directory, to define the Publisher
"environment variable" RUBICON equal to the directory (normally
C:\RUBICON) where the Publisher's support files are located.
The file AUTOEXEC.BAT can be accessed and edited using any suitable text
editor. Typically, it will already contain a PATH command, like:
PATH=C:\ABLE;C:\BAKER;C:\CHARLIE
which can be amended to:
PATH=C:\ABLE;C:\BAKER;C:\CHARLIE;C:\RUBICON
If there is no existing PATH command, the line
PATH=C:\RUBICON
can be inserted into the file.
A suitable SET command, which will normally be:
SET RUBICON=C:\RUBICON\
must also be added to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The new version of this
file must be copied back to the root directory to replace the original
version. IT WILL TAKE EFFECT THE NEXT TIME THE SYSTEM IS BOOTED.
If there is no file AUTOEXEC.BAT, one can be created by the usual method
of file creation. A full explanation of the SET and PATH commands and
the function of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file will be found in your operating
system (MS-DOS) manual.
A.3 INCREASING OPEN FILES LIMIT
For certain types of document, the Publisher may require as many as 10
files to be open simultaneously. MS-DOS permits only 8 files to be open
simultaneously, unless it has been configured to permit a larger number.
Fortunately, the configuration procedure is simple.
You can configure your MS-DOS system to permit 10 files to be open
simultaneously by ensuring that the root directory of the system disk
contains a file named CONFIG.SYS which contains the line
FILES="n"
where "n" is an integer (whole number) between 10 and 255. The file
CONFIG.SYS can be created (if it is not already present the root
directory) by the normal methods of file creation, and can be edited
using any suitable editor. If the CONFIG.SYS file already exists, it may
already contain a FILES command. If such a command specifies a number
less than 10, it should be amended to specify a larger number. If the
CONFIG.SYS file contains no FILES command, a new line such as
FILES=12
should be inserted.
