- echo OPERATION OF TCNSTALL.BAT
- echo.
- echo This batch file installs files needed to run the Windows Version of the
- echo TCN program.
- echo.
- echo Since you specified either no options or the ? option, no installation
- echo will be performed this time. Instead, information is displayed.
- echo.
- echo When you have learned how to use this batch file, you can try again with
- echo the appropriate option to install the TCN program.
- echo.

- echo TCNSTALL.BAT vs SETUP.EXE
- echo.
- echo.
- echo FYI, TCNSTALL places:
- echo.
- echo TCNSETUP.EXE,
- echo VER.DLL, SETUPKIT.DLL, VBRUN300.DLL, and
- echo the TCN program files
- echo.
- echo in the same target directory.
- echo.
- echo.
- echo This is as opposed to SETUP.EXE which puts
- echo.
- echo TCNSETUP.EXE in the WINDOWS directory,
- echo VER.DLL, SETUPKIT.DLL, VBRUN300.DLL in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, and
- echo the TCN program files in the install directory you specify.

- echo MANUAL COMMANDS FOR DISKETTE COPIES
- echo.
- echo.
- echo NOTE: The following procedure uses C:\USA as the target directory. You
- echo can use any valid drive and path where sufficient disk room (2.0
- echo megs) is available.
- echo.
- echo You can accomplish the same thing that TCNSTALL.BAT does by using the
- echo following commands entered at the DOS prompt:
- echo.
- echo EXPAND VBRUN300.DL_ C:\USA\VBRUN300.DLL (press ENTER)
- echo EXPAND SETUPKIT.DL_ C:\USA\SETUPKIT.DLL (press ENTER)
- echo EXPAND TCNSETUP.EX_ C:\USA\TCNSETUP.EXE (press ENTER)
- echo RENAME TCN20WIN.EX_ TCN20WIN.EXE (press ENTER)
- echo TCN20WIN C:\USA (press ENTER)
- echo RENAME TCN20WIN.EXE TCN20WIN.EX_ (press ENTER)
- echo COPY VER.DL_ C:\USA\VER.DLL (press ENTER)
- echo.
- echo NOTE: The preceding commands assume that the current drive and directory
- echo is where the source files are located.
- echo.

- echo MANUAL COMMANDS FOR BBS DOWNLOADS
- echo.
- echo If you download a copy of the TCN program, three file names are likely to
- echo be different:
- echo.
- echo VER.DL_ should be VER.DLL
- echo.
- echo SETUPKIT.DL_ should be SETUPKIT.DLL
- echo.
- echo VBRUN300.DL_ can be VBRUN300.ZIP or almost anything.
- echo.
- echo Use the following commands for VER.DLL and SETUPKIT.DLL:
- echo.
- echo COPY VER.DLL C:\USA\VER.DLL
- echo COPY SETUPKIT.DLL C:\USA\SETUPKIT.DLL
- echo.
- echo If the VBRUN300.*** file does not have the .DL_ extension, use the
- echo appropriate unzip command.
- echo.

- echo ICON CREATION, STARTING WITH NO ICON
- echo.
- echo Following the use of manual commands or the TCNSTALL.BAT file, you can
- echo start the TCN program from Windows File Manager by double clicking on the
- echo TCN.EXE icon in the target directory you specified.
- echo.
- echo Or you can use TCNSETUP.EXE to create the icon.
- echo.
- echo When TCNSETUP.EXE prompts you for the install directory, specify the same
- echo path you used as the option for TCNSTALL.BAT. When TCNSETUP.EXE detects
- echo the TCN program already installed there, it will offer you the option of
- echo "Create Icon Only?" Click yes.
- echo.

- echo RUNNING TCNSTALL.BAT
- echo.
- echo To run TCNSTALL.BAT, you need to know two things.
- echo.
- echo First, be sure that the drive and directory that contains TCNSTALL.BAT
- echo and all the appropriate source files is the current drive and directory.
- echo Otherwise, you get an error message instead of an installation.
- echo.
- echo Second, TCNSTALL.BAT requires a single option, that being the target
- echo drive and path information, no trailing backslash allowed.
- echo.
- echo EXAMPLE, to install the TCN program on the C: drive in the USA directory,
- echo use the following command:
- echo.
- echo.
- echo TCNSTALL C:\USA (press ENTER)
- echo.
- echo.
- echo That's it. Now get busy and install the TCN program so you can study the
- echo Constitution and save the country!
