INSTRUCTIONS FOR EDITING THIS FILE
==========================================================
HELP FILE FOR MCINSTAL.EXE PROGRAM
In order to edit the following entries make sure your
edits are not wider (in characters) than the following
line of numbers.
The edits you make can only occupy 9 lines of text. If
you exceed 9 lines of text then the window will scroll
and the user will lose information.
REMEMBER: Start key words (MODE, DISPLAY, PRINTER, PLOTTER,
MOUSE, PFK, DRIVE) in first column and make them
uppercase. Do the same with BEGIN, END keywords.

==========================================================
Comments can be entered but they must occur OUTSIDE the
BEGIN/END sequence or they will appear in the help window,
if they occur within the BEGIN/END sequence start them with

PATH
BEGIN
# This line will not appear in the help window since
# it begins with the character '#'.
When executing a program DOS first searches the current
directory. If the program cannot be found in the current
directory, then DOS will search the paths specified in
the environment variable PATH. In order to properly
execute programs on your system, the PATH variable must
contain the directory where the DOS commands reside.
Therefore, you should enter the full path name including
the drive specifier. (e.g., C:\DOS)
END
==========================================================
3270
BEGIN
To correctly construct the PATH command that will be
inserted in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, you need to
enter the full path name where the PC3270 emulator
software resides. Be sure to include the drive
specifier. (e.g., C:\PC3270)
END

JOURNAL
BEGIN
MICRO CADAM provides a recovery feature in the event of a
system failure. (e.g. power outage) The journal recovery
path specifies the exact directory where MICRO CADAM will
store the recovery file JOURNAL.TMP and MODAL.TMP. It
should not be a RAM disk or volatile media which can be
destroyed by a power failure or system crash. As an
example, if you enter C:\MCADAM\, the recovery files will
be named C:\MCADAM\JOURNAL.TMP and C:\MCADAM\MODAL.TMP.

BEGIN
In order to function properly, your printer/plotter
communications port and protocol must be determined.

BEGIN
There are various environment variables under DOS which
are used by the MICRO CADAM application. For example,
dimension units can be inches or millimeters. In order to
change from the default of inches to millimeters enter
'MM' at the units prompt. The values which can be set by
the user are as follows: NFRAMES (number of frames in a
long plot), PAPER_SIZE (paper size of plot), UNITS (unit
of measurement).

MOUSE
BEGIN
MICRO CADAM installation software will use the mouse or
tablet type you select to find the device driver in the
\MCADAM directory. The CONFIG.SYS file will be updated
to reflect the choice you make. MICRO CADAM will not
work properly without a correct mouse setting. So,
please select your mouse type carefully.

The MICRO CADAM installation program will use the display
type you select to find the device driver in the \MCADAM
directory and update your CONFIG.SYS file appropriately.
The device driver allows MICRO CADAM to determine proper
display characteristics such as color selection.
So, please select your display type.

NETWORK
BEGIN
#
# NLO ONLY AVAILABLE WITH CORNERSTONE RELEASE 1.3C
#
The network license option allows several PC workstations
on a network to run MICRO CADAM with only one security
device. In order for MICRO CADAM to work properly in
this environment, the security verification software must
know the drive letter of the network drive. For example,
if you have a network and its drive is assigned to D,
then you should enter answer YES to the network license
option, and enter D: at the network drive prompt.
