Brother's Keeper 5.0 is designed to be run on a hard disk. It will
run slowly on a floppy disk system. BK 4.5c runs much faster on a
floppy disk system.
If you need to run BK 5.0 on a computer without a hard disk, you
will need to do the following:
The main program should run OK from disk #1 if you put the LANGUAGE.BK5
file on disk #1. (You can transfer some other files to make room.)
For the other programs (on the right side of the menu) you will
need to copy to a disk the program you want to run and the language
file (if needed) and a copy of the BKOPTION.DT5 file. Then while
you are at the main menu, you can insert the program disk you want
to run in the A: drive before choosing the routine.
Note: This advice is for a dual drive computer. Do NOT remove the
disk containing your data until the program has stopped.
For example:
copy to a new disk the following:
TREE5.EXE
LANGUAGE.BKT
BKREP5.EXE
LANGUAGE.BKR
Then copy the BKOPTION.DT5 from your #1 disk to that disk.
Then BEFORE you choose T for tree or R for reports, put in the
correct disk. Before returning to the main menu, put the #1
disk back in.
If you want to run a program, such as TREE5.EXE without starting
the main menu of BK5 first, you can create a batch file. Copy the
BK5.BAT file to a new file such as BKT.BAT. Then edit BKT.BAT and
change the line from BK5MAIN to TREE5. You will also need a
copy of BTRIEVE.EXE on the same disk. Then you can type BKT and
the TREE5 program will start.
