- Echo Getting Started
- Echo
- Echo This disk contains two .EXE files which actually contain multiple files
- Echo that have been compressed using PKSFX from PKWARE, Inc. When you enter
- Echo the file name and press Enter, it will execute just like a program and
- Echo uncompress all the files contained therein to the CURRENT DRIVE AND
- Echo DIRECTORY. The file called USERDOC.EXE contains the The Guardian docu-
- Echo mentation and GUARDIAN.EXE contains the programs.
- Echo
- Echo Some distributors compress these files further so they can fit more
- Echo products on one disk. If you received such a file (it may have been
- Echo called GUIARDIAN.ZIP, for example), you have already gone through the
- Echo first step to be able to read this file. In addition to the compressed
- Echo files referred to above, the following files are part of The Guardian:
- Echo
- Echo README.BAT (This file), README2.BAT, WARNING.BAT, INSTALL.BAT,
- Echo INTRO.BAT, INTRO.TXT, GUARDIAN.MRE, and PBS-VIEW.COM

- Echo If these files are already on a diskette, you can skip the following
- Echo paragraph.
- Echo
- Echo The first thing you need to do is to copy all of these programs onto
- Echo a diskette. Simply set the DOS command prompt to the drive and directory
- Echo where this file is located, and copy all the Guardian files to drive A:.
- Echo Then delete the files on your hard disk. You now have a "distribution
- Echo disk" in the same condition that we provide to the distributors.
- Echo
- Echo The file called INSTALL.BAT will install The Guardian for you. (It
- Echo is summarized in README2.BAT). It assumes that the files are in drive A:.
- Echo At the end of the INSTALL procedure, you will need an empty formatted
- Echo diskette or one with at least 150K of available space on it. INSTALL will
- Echo copy the master menu program, TGM.EXE, and the master configuration file,
- Echo GUARDIAN.MRE, to the diskette. It is IMPERATIVE that you have this program
- Echo on a spare disk in case you inadvertantly lock your hard disk. TGM.EXE is
- Echo the program that allows you to unlock a disk.

- Echo
- Echo If you look at a batch file such as INTRO.BAT, you will see that it simply
- Echo runs the program PBS-VIEW.COM. This program is from Public Brand
- Echo Software; it allows you to view the contents of its companion TXT file
- Echo and scroll back and forth through it.
- Echo
- Echo Additional note ...
- Echo
- Echo If you have already created the directory where The Guardian is to be
- Echo installed, when INSTALL.BAT runs, you will see a message "Unable to
- Echo create xxxx" (where xxxx is the name of the directory). INSTALL is
- Echo merely trying to create a directory that already exists.
- Echo
- Echo If The Guardian is already installed, INSTALL will NOT replace the
- Echo configuration file GUARDIAN.MRE. However, if you are installing a
- Echo registered copy, you should replace it yourself because of the serial
- Echo number. Run UPDATE.BAT or read UPDATE.TXT for more details.
