- Welcome! We are glad you ordered this disk, or downloaded it from a
- Bulletin Board Service. Follow the instructions below to get the
- program installed quickly.

- Floppy Based Systems
- ────────────────────
-
- On computer systems with only floppy disks (no hard disks), the
- installation is a snap. Just copy two files from the distribution disk
- onto one of your working disks that you use during your daily computer
- use.
-
- Put the distribution disk in Drive A: and the disk you want the program
- copied onto and type the following two lines.
-
-
- COPY A:\HELP.EXE B:\ <press Enter>
- COPY A:\DOSHLP.HLP B:\ <press Enter>
-
-
- That's it! Now put the distribution disk in a safe place. The HELP
- program has been copied onto your working disk. When you want to run
- the HELP program, simply type "HELP" (without the quotes) and press
- enter.
-

-
- Hard Disk Based Systems
- ───────────────────────
-
- On a hard disk system, the installation process is a bit more
- complicated. It's best to copy the two program files into a
- subdirectory that is on your PATH. Try one of the following three
- methods of installation.
-
-
-
- *Method One*
-
- If you have a subdirectory named \DOS on your C: hard disk, it's best
- to copy the files into that subdirectory.
-
- Put the distribution disk in Drive A: and type the following two lines.
-
-
- COPY A:\HELP.EXE C:\DOS <press Enter>
- COPY A:\DOSHLP.HLP C:\DOS <press Enter>
-
-
- *Method Two*
-
- If you have another subdirectory on your hard disk that contains
- general purpose programs, you can install the two files into this
- subdirectory instead of the C:\DOS subdirectory.
-
-
- COPY A:\HELP.EXE C:\your_dir_name <press Enter>
- COPY A:\DOSHLP.HLP C:\your_dir_name <press Enter>
-
-
- Where "your_dir_name" is the name of the subdirectory on your hard
- disk.
-
-
- *Method Three*
-
- If you don't know if you have any of these subdirectories, and nobody
- is available to help you, then use the following commands:
-
-
- COPY A:\HELP.EXE C:\ <press Enter>
- COPY A:\DOSHLP.HLP C:\ <press Enter>
-
-
-
- Once the program is installed, simply type in "HELP" (without the
- quotes) and press Enter, and the program will run.
