- The first thing to do is MAKE A BACKUP COPY of everything on the
- distribution disk. This should be done on another floppy or to a
- directory on your hard disk.
-
- The main program is then called up by entering HELLO
-
- A series of help is available from within the system.

- **************************************
-
- Some people have noted that when they call up the printer menu an error
- message "Error opening file : A:PRINTMEM.MEM !" appears. This is caused
- by not including a CONFIG.SYS file that includes the lines FILES=12 and
- BUFFERS=8 when you boot up your machine. If you are confused by the
- above line then follow these simple steps to set up your working disk:
-
- For a Dual floppy system.
-
- 1) Format a blank floppy using the FORMAT /S command. This will put the
- operating system on the disk.
-
- 2) Copy the files from this disk to the new blank via
- COPY A:*.* B:
-
- 3) Reboot the system with the backup in drive A:
-
- 4) Run HELLO.
-
- For a Hard disk system.
-
- 1) Go to the root directory via a CD\ command.
-
- 2) Look for a CONFIG.SYS file via DIR CONFIG.SYS
-
- If there isn't one, copy the CONFIG.SYS from this
- disk (COPY A:CONFIG.SYS)
-
- If there is one, add the lines FILES=12 and BUFFERS=8 if
- it isn't there (of course if there is a FILES=16 or any
- number bigger than 12 then you are ok).
-
- 3) Create a subdirectory for Labelmaster via MD \LM
-
- 4) CD \LM
-
- 5) Copy the files from this disk via COPY A:*.*
-
- 6) Reboot the computer (Ctrl-Alt-Del)
-
- 7) Run HELLO.
-
- I sure hope this is clear. See your DOS manual for an explanation of
- CONFIG.SYS, FILES=12 and BUFFERS=8.
