echo ║ WELCOME TO THE SHAREWARE VEDIT JR. 1.2 ON THE IBM PC ║
echo ╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
echo
echo 1. The shareware VEDIT Jr. is supplied as the single file VJ-SHARE.EXE.
echo When you run VJ-SHARE, it will self-expand into about 15 files that
echo make up the product. These 15 files take up about 250 Kbytes. The
echo most important files are VJ.EXE (65K) - the executable editor,
echo VJHELP.HLP (64K) - the on-line help file and MANUAL.EXE (63K) - the
echo documentation in a compressed format. When you run MANUAL, it will
echo self-expand into MANUAL.DOC, a 200K file.
echo
echo 2. The documentation consists of the text of the first four chapters of
echo the nine chapter typeset VEDIT Jr. manual. It is about 85 pages long.
echo When you register VEDIT Jr. for $29, you receive the complete 200+
echo page typeset manual and the most recent VEDIT Jr. product diskette.
echo
echo 3. The recommended installation described below requires a blank floppy
echo disk and takes about 10 minutes. The installation will let you pick
echo the initial colors, keyboard layout and other configuration options.
echo Alternatively, a "quick" installation lets you just expand the files
echo and immediately use VJ.EXE without configuring it.
echo
pause
cls
echo 4. The most foolproof method of installing the shareware VEDIT Jr. is to
echo first create an "install" disk by expanding VJ-SHARE.EXE onto a blank,
echo formatted floppy disk. You can then install from this floppy disk onto
echo a hard disk or another floppy disk.
echo
echo Place a blank, formatted floppy disk into drive "A:". We assume that
echo VJ-SHARE.EXE is either on your hard disk or in floppy drive "B:".
echo Then give these commands:
echo
echo A:
echo d:VJ-SHARE (Where 'd' is the drive containing VJ-SHARE.EXE)
echo
echo 5. To install VEDIT Jr. on hard drive "C:", place the "install" disk in
echo drive "A:", change to drive "A:" and give the command:
echo
echo INSTALL A C (To install on hard drive "C:")
echo
echo To install VEDIT Jr. on floppy drive "B:", place the "install" disk in
echo drive "A", the target disk in drive "B:" and give the command:
echo
echo INSTALL A B (To install on floppy drive "B:")
echo
pause
cls
echo 6. If you are in a hurry, would like to skip the above installation steps,
echo and have a hard drive, follow these steps:
echo
echo 1. Create the directory "\VEDIT", copy VJ-SHARE.EXE to it, run VJ-SHARE.EXE
echo and then MANUAL.EXE. VJ.EXE is then ready to use. Instead of adding
echo "\VEDIT" to your "PATH" command, we recommend just copying VJ.EXE to
echo another directory which is already in your "PATH" command. For example:
echo
echo MD \VEDIT
echo CD \VEDIT
echo COPY d:\path\VJ-SHARE.EXE
echo VJ-SHARE
echo MANUAL
echo DEL VJ-SHARE.EXE
echo DEL MANUAL.EXE
echo COPY VJ.EXE \DOS
echo
echo 2. The documentation (MANUAL.DOC) describes how to set up the environment
echo variable "VEDPATH" if you place VEDIT Jr. into a directory other than
echo "C:\VEDIT". This is necessary for VEDIT Jr. to find its on-line help
echo file VJHELP.HLP.
echo
pause
cls
