NOSINST version 0.6b 1993
Greetings!
How to unzip the archive
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOSINST.ZIP should be unzipped using pkunzip version 1.1 or greater and
the -d flag should be used to preserve the directory structure.
e.g. pkunzip -d nosinst.zip .
You should create a directory for NOSINST on your hard disk then cd to
it before unarchiving.
You can of course unarchive to floppy (minimum size 720k).
About the NOS.EXE version
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The version of NOS.EXE supplied is KA9Q v1.08d but with many enhancements
by Andrew G8FSL. This particular version does not support an NTS style
mailer/bbs or AX25 connection as in our area of the UK, we have gravitated
more towards "pure" TCP/IP operation. Other versions can be obtained I'm
sure (if I ask Andrew nicely enough!).
The NOS.EXE is also (in this universal version of NOSINST) compiled for
8086/88 so that it should work on any PC compatible (and even on an Amiga
fitted with a KCS PC card!).
Support and liability
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All I can say is I've tested this for a long time and I haven't seen it
do anything nasty. The main executable was compiled using Turbo C v2.1
and contains no unorthodox code or calls to homebrew routines. So I
cannot accept responsibility for damage or loss of software, hardware, or
firmware as a result of using this utility.
I am happy to answer queries and supply a certain amount of support but
please use the on-line help from within NOSINST first (SHIFT plus function
key for brief help, ALT plus function key for elaborate help). If you need
assistance configuring it to install a different type of NOS, please
contact me via internet or amprnet. I'll be glad to help.
Anti-virus/tamper
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOSINST contains anti-tamper routines. These are for your protection and mine.
All that remains is for me to wish you good luck!
Enjoy!
73 de Dave
