- SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
-
- This portion of the program is used to install the software from the Pads
- Program diskette(s) onto the disk drive.
-
- To select the PADS Program, use the up and down arrow keys on the key pad to
- highlight the desired program, then press F1 to continue. In the windows
- that follow there will be separate installation instructions for each of the
- PADS Programs.
-
- The first window will describe the minimum hardware requirements for the
- PADS Program that you have selected. Before you install the PADS Program be
- sure that you have space available on the specified disk drive. You may
- install the software before you perform the HARDWARE SETUP. However, before
- you can operate the PADS Program, your hardware configuration must meet the
- minimum requirements for the selected program.
-
- The next window displays the directories that will be created on the speci-
- fied disk drive during the installation of the PADS Program. Before contin-
- uing with the installation, read this section carefully to ensure that you
- understand the PADS directory structure.
-
- It is not necessary to create the PADS Program directories before you begin
- installing the software. The PINSTALL program will create them for you. If
- you are updating existing software, the PINSTALL program will not overwrite
- or delete existing data files.
-
- All the PADS Programs may reside in the same PADS directory.
-
- After the programs have been installed, you will be prompted to load the
- training files. These files are used in conjunction with the self training
- tutorials. Therefore, If you are using the PADS Program for the first time,
- you may wish to load these files. It is not necessary to install these
- files in order to operate the PADS Programs.
-
- Following the installation of the training files you will be prompted to
- install the PADS system library. If you are performing a first time
- installation, it is necessary to install the library to operate the PADS
- Programs.
-
- CAUTION: WHEN YOU INSTALL THE LIBRARY, IT WILL OVERWRITE ALL OF THOSE
- ITEMS CONTAINED IN THE STANDARD LIBRARY. HOWEVER, IT WILL NOT OVERWRITE
- THOSE ITEMS THAT ARE IN THE USER LIBRARY.
-
- After you have installed the PADS Program onto the disk drive, you must
- perform a HARDWARE SETUP for the PADS Programs that have been installed.
