- For most computer systems typing ANSETUP will install Ample
- Notice satisfactorily. If you run into problems (for example if
- you have DOS 3.0, which has bugs that surface in batch files) you
- can install the package yourself.
-
- Installing Ample Notice is simply a matter of putting a few
- files where DOS can find them. If you're installing onto a
- floppy, you will probably be content to put all files in the root
- directory; if you have a hard disk, we recommend putting all Ample
- Notice files in a subdirectory called \AN2.
-
- Here is the procedure:
-
- 1. Copy the files AN.EXE (the program itself), the NOTES file,
- ALARM.COM (the pop-up alarm clock), ANHELP (the help file) and
- ANINST.EXE (a program for changing AN's default colors, etc.)
- to the appropriate disk/subdirectory.
-
- 2. Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that AN.EXE's directory is in
- your DOS PATH and so that ALARM is run by AUTOEXEC.BAT. You
- can do this automatically by typing ANINST followed by the
- location of AN.EXE; for example,
- ANINST C:\AN2
- If you want to do this editing yourself instead, here's how:
- Put the directory containing AN.EXE in your DOS PATH.
- For example, if this file is in C:\AN2, then you should add
- ;C:\AN2
- to the end of the line starting with PATH if there is one; if
- there is no PATH line in AUTOEXEC.BAT then add the line
- PATH \;C:\AN2
- Following the PATH line add the line
- ALARM
-
- The changes you make will take effect the next time you boot your
- computer.
