-
- INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS:
- --------------------------
-
- TOP is intended for the IBM PC, PC/XT, PC/AT, or 100% compatibles. DOS 3.0 or
- greater is required. A Microsoft compatible mouse is recommended but not
- required.
-
- TOP installation requires about 900 Kbytes of free disk space on the
- destination drive. About 300 Kbytes will be retured at the end of the
- installation. Installation to a low density floppy is not possible.
-
- TO INSTALL:
- -----------
-
- To install TOP, log on to the floppy drive containing the TOP release
- files, and type:
-
- INSTALL [drive_letter: [destination_path]]
-
- Notes: -If no parameters are specified, TOP will be installed to C:\TOP
-
- -If you wish to specify a destination_path, a drive_letter
- must also be specified
-
- -Be sure to put a colon (:) after drive_letter.
-
- -Do not use a leading or trailing backslash (\) before
- or after destination_path.
-
- -Be sure to put a space between drive_letter: and destination_path.
-
-
- Examples: INSTALL --- will install TOP to C:\TOP
-
- INSTALL D: --- will install TOP to D:\TOP
-
- INSTALL D: TOOLS\TOP --- will install TOP to D:\TOOLS\TOP
-
- During the installation you will be asked for your TOP registration number.
- If this is a shareware installation and you do not have number, just press
- <ENTER> at the prompt.
-
- INSTALL is a batch file. We made INSTALL a batch file so you can examine
- it first (if desired) to see what it's going to do. INSTALL does NOT modify
- your AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS, it just copies files to a directory and
- uncompresses them. However, some slight modifications to AUTOEXEC.BAT and
- CONFIG.SYS are recommended--see POST-INSTALL NOTES below.
-
- Up to date release information is available after starting TOP and typing:
-
- HELP !READ_ME
- and
- HELP !-NEW-!
-
- HELP is also available by pressing <F1>, or by pressing your left and right
- mouse buttons simultaneously and releasing them over the word HELP. A left
- click on any word in the HELP window accesses HELP for that topic.
-
-
- POST-INSTALL NOTES:
- -------------------
-
- It is recommended the TOP startup command be added as the last line of
- your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. To do this you would add the line:
-
- c:\top\top
-
- as the last line of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file (if you installed TOP to
- the default C:\TOP).
-
- Important: If you do not have a FILES= statement in your CONFIG.SYS
- file, or do not have a CONFIG.SYS file, you must create one and set the
- FILES equal to or greater than 9 (the default if not specified is 8). To
- create a CONFIG.SYS file from scratch (if you don't have one) type:
-
- cd\<ENTER>
- copy con config.sys<ENTER>
- files=20<CTRL+Z><ENTER>
-
- Remember to reboot after any AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS changes so the
- changes will take effect.
-
- CHANGING TOP PARAMETERS
