- easier to follow the installation instructions if you use two
- diskettes.)

- [INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS]--------------------------------------
-
- The batch file INSTALL.BAT will help you install Turbo ScrEdit on
- your system. The installation will vary depending on your system
- configuration.
-
- * Hard disk users* There is nothing special you will need to
- do before beginning the installation. You will specify the name
- of the directory that you want Turbo ScrEdit to be installed
- into. The installation program will create the directory and four
- additional sub-directories.
-
- * Floppy disk users * You will need 5 formatted diskettes
- for the installation. Some of the diskettes will only be required
- until you can print the documents that they will hold. Before we
- go further let me show you how the 5 diskettes will relate to the
- hard drive installation.
-
- Hard Disk Structure: Floppy diskettes labeled:
- --------------------------- ------------------------------------
- C:\UserDirectory "1 of 5 - Turbo ScrEdit"
- C:\UserDirectory\Tutor "2 of 5 - Turbo ScrEdit Tutor"
- C:\UserDirectory\Doc "3 of 5 - Programmers Ref. Manual"
- C:\UserDirectory\Interfac "4 of 5 - Program Interface Modules"
- C:\UserDirectory\Demos "5 of 5 - Examples and Demos"
-
- (UserDirectory is specified by you during installation.)
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- INSTALL.BAT requires three parameters and has a command line
- format of:
- INSTALL TYPE FROM: TO:[\PATH]
- ---- ----- ----------
- TYPE: H when installing on a hard drive system.
- F when installing on a floppy drive system.
- FROM: The disk drive where the installation diskette has
- been inserted.
- TO:[\PATH]
- FLOPPY DRIVE INSTALLATION: specify only the
- destination disk drive (No Path, \ is assumed).
-
- HARD DRIVE INSTALLATION: specify the drive and
- path where you wish Turbo ScrEdit to reside.
-
- TO BEGIN THE INSTALLATION: follow these 3 steps:
-
- STEP 1 - Insert "Disk 1 of 2" into drive A:
-
- STEP 2 - FLOPPY DRIVE INSTALLATION: Insert diskette "1 of 5"
- into drive B: and type: B:
-
- STEP 3 - HARD DRIVE INSTALLATION example:
- A:INSTALL H A: C:\ScrEdit
-
- - FLOPPY DRIVE INSTALLATION example:
- A:INSTALL F A: B:
-
- TO COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION: When INSTALL.BAT is finished, the
- initial installation will be complete. However, there are still
- several steps to be performed. Locate and print the file
- "PrintMe.1st and continue the installation as described beginning
- on Page 3.
