2. Installation (example: MS-DOS)


The program package is delivered with some files, the most importants are:

   - README.TXT  (some general hints)

   - MBEDIT.EXE  (the executable program)
   - MBEDIT.MAC  (macro file, can be modified individually)

   - MBEDIT.GER  (user's manual, german)
   - MBEDIT.ENG  (this user's manual, english)
   - MODIFY.TXT  (history of modifications)

   - MBEDIT.ICO  (icon for the usage with Microsoft Windows)
   - MBEDIT.PIF  (PIF-File for the usage with Microsoft Windows)


The following files will be created or updated during normal operation:

   - MBEDIT.HST  (History-File)
   - MBEDIT.STA  (Status File)
   - MBEDIT.TMP  (Temporary File)


Copy the provided files "MBEDIT.EXE and MBEDIT.MAC" to any directory, which is
included in the search path of the operating system (e.g.: "C:\DOS").

Eventually the search path in "AUTOEXEC.BAT" must be extended
(e.g.: "PATH C:\DOS;C:\WINDOWS;C:\MBEDIT").


Furthermore, it is helpful to setup an environment variable "HOME",
which points to the user home directory. This command could also be
included in "AUTOEXEC.BAT" (e.g.: "SET HOME=C:\USR\BRAUN\HOME").

The user home directory is used for some help files (see chapters
"History File" and "Environment Variables").


Example Installation (simple recipe):

   - Insert floppy disc in drive A:

   - At the command line prompt, type:

       MKDIR C:\MBEDIT
       XCOPY /S A:\MBEDIT\*.* C:\MBEDIT

   - Edit file AUTOEXEC.BAT, append 2 lines:

       PATH C:\DOS;C:\WINDOWS;C:\MBEDIT
       SET HOME=C:\MBEDIT
