echo ───[HOW TO USE THE RUNME FILE:]────────────────────────────────────────────
echo
echo The RUNME file has 3 purposes:
echo
echo 1 To give you Installation Information about PCS Windows
echo » NEW INSTALLATION? DO THIS FIRST!
echo » UPGRADING from PCS Windows 1.0, 2.0, or 3.0? DO THIS FIRST!
echo
echo 2 To tell you about PC Specialists Online, a computer network you can
echo access with a modem to obtain PC Specialists software as well as over
echo 20,000 other programs!
echo
echo 3 To start PCS Windows for the 1st time.
echo » When you are ready to start PCS Windows, select this option.
echo
echo AT THE DOS PROMPT BELOW, SIMPLY TYPE:
echo RUNME 1 For Installation Information
echo RUNME 2 For PC Specialists Online Information
echo RUNME 3 To Start PCS Windows for the very first time
echo W If you have previously selected the RUNME 3 option.

echo
echo NOTE: To avoid needless frustration :-), we suggest you examine the file
echo PACKING.LST for a list of all files that should be included in the
echo PCSWIN40 archive.
echo
echo At the DOS prompt enter TYPE PACKING.LST to see the packing list.
echo
echo If any files are missing (including PACKING.LST itself), call PC
echo Specialists at (800)-625-7214 or (904)-625-7214 for a complete
echo copy on diskette.

echo SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
echo ───────────────────
echo
echo RAM:
echo Most of PCS Windows features can run with as little as 256K available RAM.
echo However, to access all PCS Windows features, 512K available RAM is suggested.
echo
echo HARD DISK:
echo Approximately 400K (0.4MB) of free disk space is required to hold PCS Windows.
echo Note that data files created by the PCS Windows Roladex, Datebook, Notepad,
echo and others will add slightly to the amount of space used.
echo
echo DOS:
echo PCS Windows has been tested with MS & PC DOS versions back to 3.0. However,
echo we suggest using MS-DOS 3.3 or higher for full compatibility. (PCS Windows
echo has been tested and works fine with MS-DOS versions 5.0 & 6.0).

echo
echo VIDEO:
echo PCS Windows can run on ANY video system, from monochrome to CGA, EGA, VGA,
echo SuperVGA, and beyond. The color palette can be customized within the program.
echo
echo HOW TO INSTALL PCS WINDOWS:
echo ───────────────────────────
echo
echo Well, be happy, because PCS Windows is already installed! PCS Windows runs
echo fine on any drive or directory you choose (including the current one).
echo
echo However, if you choose to move PCS Windows onto a different drive and/or
echo directory (some use C:\PCSWIN), do so BEFORE you run the RUNME 3 option.
echo NOTE: If you ever move PCS Windows to a new directory, just run the RUNME 3
echo option again. Simple!

echo
echo W.BAT - THE MOST IMPORTANT FILE IN PCS WINDOWS
echo ──────────────────────────────────────────────
echo
echo The W.BAT file is REQUIRED to start and use PCS Windows. Once you enter the
echo RUNME 3 option, a custom W.BAT file is automatically created for you. If
echo you ever move PCS Windows to a different drive and/or directory, your W.BAT
echo file won't work properly. Just run RUNME 3 again to create a brand new
echo W.BAT file. (Every time you type RUNME 3, a new W.BAT file is created).
echo
echo UPGRADING FROM VERSION 1.0, 2.0, OR 3.0 OF PCS WINDOWS
echo ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
echo
echo If you are using version 1.0 or 2.0 of PCS Windows, many of the file formats
echo have changed. DO NOT INSTALL THIS VERSION OF PCS WINDOWS until you contact
echo PC Specialists technical support for assistance.
echo
echo If you are using version 3.0 of PCS Windows, all file formats are the same.
echo Simply copy all files from the PCSWIN40 archive into your existing PCS
echo Windows 3.0 directory, and proceed with the RUNME 3 option.

echo STARTING PCS WINDOWS AUTOMATICALLY (optional)
echo ─────────────────────────────────────────────
echo
echo Many users want PCS Windows to be automatically started whenever they turn on
echo their computers.
echo
echo To accomplish this, first find the AUTOEXEC.BAT file in the \ (root) directory
echo of your hard drive. Edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and add the following lines to
echo the end of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
echo
echo c: (or drive letter where PCS Windows is loaded)
echo cd\pcswin (or directory path where PCS Windows is loaded)
echo w (starts PCS Windows)
echo
echo You may also add ;C:\PCSWIN to the PATH statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
echo This will allow you to type W from any directory to load PCS Windows.

echo
echo PCS Windows is about to be loaded!
echo
echo Since you have selected the RUNME 3 option, several things are about to happen:
echo
echo PCS Windows will be loaded, discover it was not started by the W.BAT file,
echo so it will create a new one and put it in the current directory.
echo
echo It will then exit, and attempt to restart itself via the newly created
echo W.BAT file. From now on, you don't need to type RUNME 3 every time you
echo want to start PCS Windows - - - Just Type W.
echo
echo If it doesn't restart itself, try typing W at the DOS prompt. If you still
echo have trouble, call PC Specialists technical support TOLL FREE.
