v1.1 (for DOS)
{ DocumentsNexus } must be installed on a hard drive. Do not attempt to
install to, or run the program on, a floppy drive.
To install, type:
A:INSTALL <Enter> or B:INSTALL <Enter>
There must be about 1.3MB of free space available on the target hard
drive or the install process will be incomplete, with indication of an
error and an exit to DOS. After installation, the program uses about
685k of space. The install process will create a directory on the
destination drive, the default selection being \DOCSNX. The install
process does NOT modify your path, autoexec.bat, or config.sys.
The 3 primary files included in this package are:
README.TXT (this file) INSTALL.EXE __0014.EXE
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ The following paragraph relates *ONLY* to bulletin board downloads: │
│ If this program has been downloaded from a BBS, the three files may be │
│ moved to a diskette from which INSTALL.EXE is to be used, as indicated │
│ above. You may also run INSTALL.EXE from your downloads directory *IF* │
│ you are installing to a *DIFFERENT* logical drive from the one in which │
│ INSTALL.EXE exists. Do not attempt to install TO a floppy drive. │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
For an alternative installation, copy the self-extracting file __0014.EXE
to a directory and simply execute that file. __0014.EXE may then be deleted
from the directory. Use of INSTALL.EXE provides verification along with
installation and provides opportunity to print the documentation (about 13
pages).
In the program itself, press <Alt-M> to access the on-line documentation.
After a new installation, the following 8 files must be present in the
\DOCSNX directory for a complete installation:
PRINTER.DB
ORDER.FRM
REGISTER.EXE
DOCSNX.DB
DOCSNX.EXE
DOCSNX.DOC
_14OVERL.EXE
_ADMIN14.PCX
Several index files (*.ix) will be built when the program first executes.
Version 1.1 changes: we modified the Searchr text search facility with a
completely new alogorithm which provides faster and more extensive searches.
There are other minor changes in v1.1.

Possible problems with DOS 6.x:
───────────────────────────────
If you are using DOS 6.x and are utilizing the EMM386 memory manager that
comes with DOS 6.x, the potential for system lockups exists in running this
or other programs which use expanded memory.
If the user installs DOS 6 and uses the MEMMAKER utility to help load things
high it will ask if there are programs that use EMS. If you answer NO,
MEMMAKER will add the NOEMS parameter to the EMM386 driver line, which
increases the amount of high memory by 64K (i.e., the size of the pageframe
- nice if you have lots of drivers to load high). Unfortunately, this
parameter has a different meaning with DOS 6 than it did with DOS 5.
If problems should occur and you are using the NOEMS parameter on the EMM386
line in your config.sys file, add the parameter NOVCPI after NOEMS. Save the
change and reboot. It has also been suggested that you might omit the NOEMS
parameter altogether. If problems persist, and you are using the FRAME=NONE
switch, you should remove that parameter.
We have found DOS versions 3.3 through 5.0 to be very stable.
