- INSTALLATION
-
- NOTE: nnn stands for current version number, i.e. 305,...
-
- 1. copy petpennn.zip to your hard disk, preferably NOT
- to the directory you want to install into.
-
- copy a:\petpennn.zip c:\tmp
-
- 2. unzip petpennn.zip (you must have pkunzip.exe)
-
- PKUNZIP PETPEnnn.ZIP
-
- 4. setup (defaults from where it is to c:\pe)
-
- SETUP
-
- If you want to get fancy with SETUP.EXE, below are some
- additional options:
-
- SETUP needs the following files (minimally) to work properly:
-
- SETUP.EXE
- KEY.PED <- setup.exe cannot run without this file
- PED.EXE <- very important that it be intact as one file
- README.1st <- not critical, this file
- DOC.EXE <- not critical, but explains pE in detail
- *.TXT <- not critical, but nice
-
- It en-extracts PED.EXE from where it is into the specified (or
- default c:\pe) directory.
-
- It copies README.1st, DOC.EXE and all the .TXT files into the
- same directory.
-
- It then changes to that directory.
-
- It then marks pE with your name, personalizing your copy.
-
- IT MUST COMPLETE ALL OF THESE STEPS IN ORDER TO INSTALL PE
- CORRECTLY.
-
- It then starts pE.
-
- Type Setup d1[:] d2:\path
-
- where D1 = the drive where setup is located and
- D2:\path is where you want pe installed.
- (defaults are current drive and c:\pe)
-
- If d1: and d2: are both floppies, they must be different.
-
- NOTE: If system was booted from floppy, command.com must
- be copied to distribution disk before install.
-
- setup a: b:\ installs pe from a: to b:\
-
- setup a: c:\pe installs pe onto drive c: from a:
-
- setup c: c:\utils install pe into directory utils
- of drive c: from the current
- directory (also on drive c:).
-
- pE documentation is located in a self extracting archive
- named DOC.EXE. To un-extract simply type DOC on the
- command line. A message in DOC.EXE provides further
- information.
