Update AUTOEXEC.BAT

To run Lotus Organizer Scheduling Agent 2.1 properly, Install needs to modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

If your PC has both DOS and OS/2, and you are using the Boot Manager, Install may not locate the correct autoexec.bat file. Have Install make a copy of AUTOEXEC.BAT and then make changes manually to the appropriate AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Do not have Install automatically update AUTOEXEC.BAT.

To allow Install to modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file

1.	Click Yes.

Install saves your existing AUTOEXEC.BAT file as AUTOEXEC.LTS.

To create a file that contains the changes

1.	Click Make Copy.

Install creates a file named AUTOEXEC.LTS that contains the changes to make in your AUTOEXEC.BAT. You can review the changes using an ASCII text editor and copy them to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file using Edit Copy.

To make the changes to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file yourself

1.	Click No.

2.	When you exit Install after it completes, copy your existing AUTOEXEC.BAT file to AUTOEXEC.OLD.

3.	Start Windows Notepad or another ASCII text editor.

4.	Choose File Open and choose AUTOEXEC.BAT.

5.	Add the Lotus Notes or cc:Mail program directory to your path.

For example, if your path is PATH C:\DOS;C:\;C:\WINDOWS;C:\AMIPRO, add your Notes program directory so that your path is PATH C:\DOS;C:\;C:\WINDOWS;C:\AMIPRO;C:\NOTES

For example, if your path is PATH C:\DOS;C:\;C:\WINDOWS;C:\AMIPRO, add your cc:Mail program directory so that your path is PATH C:\DOS;C:\;C:\WINDOWS;C:\AMIPRO;C:\CCMAIL

6.	Add the DOS SHARE utility to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

For example, add the DOS SHARE command as shown in this sample AUTOEXEC.BAT file

@ECHO OFF

C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE

PATH C:\DOS;C:\;C:\WINDOWS;C:\AMIPRO;C:\NOTES

SET COMSPEC=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM

SET MOUSE=C:\WINDOWS

C:\WINDOWS\MOUSE.COM

SHARE
