- README.DOC - this file

- Suggestions for installing DisketteArchive:
- -------------------------------------------
-
- ** PM 1.x ***
-
- - Create a directory named \DISKARC
- - Copy DISKARC.EXE and DISKARC.HLP to \DISKARC
- - Add a new program to the Utilities Group.
- - Set the program value as follows:
- Program Title : DisketteArchive
- Path and Filename : \DISKARC\DISKARC.EXE
- Parameters : %*
- Working Directory : \DISKARC
-
- ** PM 2.x **
- - Create a directory named \DISKARC
- - Copy DISKARC.EXE and DISKARC.HLP to \DISKARC
- - Copy a program template to a folder
- - Set the program value as follows:
- Path and file name: \DISKARC\DISKARC.EXE
- Working directory : \DISKARC
-
- This setup will allow you to access the DiskArc.hlp file without changing
- your HELP pathlist. It will also allow you to start DiskArc when you select
- a DiskArc data file when using the File Manager/a folder. (Note: if you have
- an unregistered version, be sure to attach the extended attributes).
-
- If the Working Directory in the program (selector) is not the same directory
- that contains DISKARC.HLP, you should copy DISKARC.HLP to your OS/2 help
- directory, probably \OS2\HELP.
-
-
- Attaching the Extended Attributes:
- ----------------------------------
-
- If you have an unregistered version, you probably received it "zipped".
- Run EA.CMD. This will attach the extended attributes that PKZIP does not
- copy. If you want, you can then delete EA.CMD and DISKARC.EA.
-
