more than 1.5 MB free. Place disk 1 in the floppy drive and
type:
INSTH <source drive > <destination drive>
eg INSTH A C
where <source drive> is the drive containing the MEDPAS disk 1
you received from the distributor, and <destination drive> is
the drive the MEDPAS files will be copied TO.
A third parameter is available eg Insth A C M which will
put you into the manual immeadiately you have installed MEDPAS.
Follow onscreen instructions to continue.
FLOPPY DISKS:
To run from floppy disk you need 2 floppy drives, these
may be any drive, 5.25, 3.5, 360K, 720k, 1.4 MB or 1.2 MB.
Format 5 disk in your B: drive, place your original disk 1 in
drive A: and type
INSTF (-no drive specification is needed)
If Drives A: and B: are dissimilar, copy the newly installed
Disk 1 onto a disk formatted in drive A: and label it Disk 1.
Further Info:
On the hard disk all the unarchived files will be under
the subdirectory of \IDRSYSMP. There will be one batch file
MEDPAS.BAT in the Root Directory. Note this is not the same
as the MEDPAS.BAT file used to run the floppy disk version.
The floppy disk file distribution is detailed in the file
MEDFILES.TXT found on Disk 4 of the unarchived set or in the
\IDRSYSMP subdirectory on your hard disk.

The hard disk will have a subdirectory of IDRSYSMP and a
batch file called MEDPAS.BAT in the root directory. Simply type
MEDPAS <CR>
and follow instructions. Help is available with <Alt><F1>.
Running from floppies, place Disk 1 in Drive A: Disk 2
in Drive B: and also type

browse through the on-disc manual. It is to be found in the \IDRSYSMP
subdirectory on the hard disk or on Disk 4 of the new disks.

Please enjoy the program but remember...
- The software should only be used as an educational adjunct
to the professional advice and help that is the proper domain
of a qualified physician.
- It should never be used in any way as a replacement for it.
The software is not an expert system and is not to be used to
diagnose, treat or otherwise be concerned with that which is the
province of a physician. iDRSystems Ltd. advises that qualified
medical help should be sought for any matter concerning the above.
