-
- Installation Instructions
-
- Insert Installation Disk 1 into a floppy drive and then type:
-
- A: (or B: if you inserted the diskette into Drive B)
- INSTALL
-
- The installation program will ask you for the name of the directory that you
- would like to install MCS to. Then the program will ask you to insert
- Installation Disk 2. Older versions of MCS came on three disks, new versions
- come on only two diskettes.
-
- Install creates two batch files which should always be used to access The
- Menu Construction Set. MCS.BAT and MENU.BAT are placed in the root directory
- of the installation drive. These batch files can be moved to any directory
- that is in your PATH.
-
- MCS.BAT - Runs the menu authoring environment (i.e. the menu editor)
- MENU.BAT - Runs menus that were created by the menu editor
-
- Install copies the following files to the installation directory:
-
- MCS.DOC - On-disk documentation - also contains the order form
- MCS.TXT - Opening screen used when you type MCS
- MENU.TXT - Opening screen used when you type MENU
- MCS_EDIT.EXE - Editor program - when you type MCS, this program is executed
- MCS_RUN.EXE - Run program - when you type MENU, this program is executed
- RECONFIG.DOC - Information about Reconfig, the DOS Configuration Manager
-
- You will also notice two subdirectories, EXAMPLE and DEFAULT. Each
- subdirectory contains a menu set. The EXAMPLE menu set follows an example
- which is given in the (paper) manual. The DEFAULT menu set is called the
- default menu set for the following reason. You type MENU EXAMPLE to run the
- EXAMPLE menu set. However, if you just type MENU, then the DEFAULT menu set
- is loaded. By the way, the authoring environment works the same way. If you
- type MCS MYMENUS, you will load the MCS editor ("the authoring environment")
- and the MYMENUS menu set will automatically be loaded for you to edit. But
- if you just type MCS, then the DEFAULT menu set will be loaded for you.
-
- Note that if you are reinstalling MCS, your existing menu sets will not be
- changed in any way.
