INSTALLING ASTRO SHAREWARE 2.71
This version of ASTRO is shipped with an install program. If you
recieved it from a BBS you may find a file with a name AST271-0.
Note I am not including the file extension. This will either be
.LZH for files compatible with LHA, and .ZIP for files compatible
with PKZIP/PKUNZIP.
To Use the Install program, Log onto the drive that you want to
install from and type INSTALL and press the Enter Key. Then follow
the instructions.
NOTE: If you must run ASTRO on two 360k floppies and want to print out
the graphics, make sure your path includes A:\;B:\; so it can find
the Printer Driver which is on the B: drive. For Example if you
type PATH at the DOS Command Line, and DOS Responds with PATH=C:\DOS;
you will need to type PATH=A:\;B:\;C:\DOS; before you start ASTRO
so you can print the graphics. TIP: Put this in a batch file which
sets the path and then starts ASTRO.
NOTE: If you have a Monochrome or Hercules Graphics Adapter, You must
start the Program MSHERC provided before starting ASTRO.
If you did not get an install program, this may be installed on
a hard disk by creating a single directory and unpacking each file
into that directory.
You can also install it on a single 5-1/4" 1.2MB floppy or a single
3-1/2" 1.44MB floppy using the same procedure. In That case I suggest
only including the Necessary Graphics Files. See The NOTES section
below for an explanation.
If You need to install ASTRO on 5-1/4" 360k or 3-1/2" 720k floppies,
the following table shows the way various disks need to be layed out in
order to use ASTRO on floppies. The Install program does this for you.
Follow this in case you can't find the install program and INSTALL.DAT
data file.
The Original Master File column shows the Master Archive file that you
will need to un archive using PKUNZIP or LHA. These file Should Not
Be on your Final Disks.
See the file FILELST.DOC for the Complete File Listing.
