#drive&dir
Please select the drive and directory into which MicroStation will be
installed.

MicroStation can be installed onto any drive and can be put into 
any directory.  However, if you wish to maintain multiple versions of
MicroStation, it is recommended that you use a different directory 
from any previous installations of MicroStation.
#
#cleanup
There has been a previous installation of MicroStation for the directory
chosen. Since new versions of MicroStation frequently have a different set
of files, it is advisable to delete the files from your previous
installation.

The install program will DELETE ANY DELIVERED FILES in MicroStation
directories you upgrade.  Therefore, if you have created any new files in
any of the MicroStation directories, you should first save them elsewhere
or chance losing them forever!

If you wish to exit and save your files press Ctrl-Z now. Otherwise
select Y to remove all files before upgrading or N to only upgrade new
files.
#
#MSSYSTEM

The main MicroStation system files include the basic files needed to run
MicroStation. These include several MicroStation Development Language (MDL)
applications. Also included are several cell libraries, utilities,
configuration files, and the sample files used in the lessons found in the
user's quide.
#
#HELP

The On-line help files contain extensive information on many aspects of
MicroStation. Other products based on MicroStation may make use of the
help system. The help is optional but is recommended when learning how
to use MicroStation.
#
#DOCS

The Documentation files contain information about fixes, enhancments and
changes to the current release of MicroStation.
#
#UTILS

There are several utilities available for managing files outside of
MicroStation. This option will install these utilities. Some utilities
include, EDG, The Font Librarian, and the Hidden Line export utility.
#
#DBASE

The database files and related design files are useful for learning how to
use dBase with MicroStation.
#
#ORACLE

The sample Oracle database files and related design files are useful for
learning how to use Oracle with MicroStation.
#
#PATTERN

The Patterning Cell Libraries contain the sample cells to "pattern"
either closed areas (Area Patterning) or along a linear path (Linear
Patterning).

MicroStation has the built-in capability to fill closed areas with
crosshatch lines.  If this capability is sufficient, you do not need to
install the sample patterning cells.
#
#DXF

This will install the tools required to use DXF files with MicroStation.
The capability to translate IGDS files to DXF, and DXF files to IGDS is
provided.
#
#MENUS

Several tablet, or paper, menus are available with MicroStation. These
allow for pre-made menus for use with a digitizing tablet. If you plan
to use a digitizer tablet, you may wish to load these menus.
#
#SEED

Seed files are the basis for new MicroStation Design Files. These are
design files with preset characteristics for given work environments.
These include, but are not limited to, Mapping, Architecture, and GIS.
#
#UCM

Several User Commands are provided for use with MicroStation. These
files allow for a type of MACRO language. There are other more
advanced and more powerfull tools such as MicroCSL and the
MicroStation Development Language. Some of the user commands may
be usefull for current needs.
#
#FLIB

MicroStation comes with a Font Librarian Utility and many font cell lib-
raries which allow creation of custom fonts.
#
#EXAMPLES

MicroStation comes with many sample design files and cell libraries that
are useful for learning how to use MicroStation.
#
#TUTORIAL

MicroStation provides several tutorials in the User's Guide. This option
will install the necessary files used during the tutorials.
#
#MDL

The MicroStation Development Language (MDL) files consist of compilers,
linkers, librarians, and other files needed for development of MDL
applications for use with MicroStation.
#
#MDLEXMPL

These are complete examples, with source, of MDL applications. Each is
intended to help explain how to write MDL programs. Several examples are
quite useful for everyday tasks in MicroStation.
#
#USCONFIG
Now that you have installed the MicroStation files onto your system you
will need to run the configuration program, USCONFIG, to specify the
hardware configuration you are using.  

You should also make sure that your CONFIG.SYS file in your root directory
has the parameters

                FILES=20
                BUFFERS=15

NOTE: These values are minimal. You may set them higher provided sufficient
      memory is available.

Also, if you are using an Expanded Memory Manager that is not VCPI
(Virtual Control Program Interface) compatible, MicroStation will not
utilize memory allocated to that Memory Manager.
