TREETOP INSTALLATION This installation describes how to load TreeTop onto your hard disk drive and modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that it will run at its optimum performance. TreeTop consists of three files that should be on your hard disk drive for proper operation and five other files that you may want to include for easy reference. These files are listed below with a brief explanation for each of them: 1) TT.EXE - This is the main executable file that is run when you execute TreeTop. 2) TREETOP.HLP - This is the file that contains the online, context sensitive help for TreeTop. If this file is not on your hard disk drive, TreeTop will still operate properly, but you won't have any online help. 3) TREETOP.PAR - This file contains the user defined setup parameters for TreeTop. It is not supplied on the master disk because it is created automatically by TreeTop when you save the setup parameters. 4) TREETOP.DOC - This is a text file that has a copy of the Purchase/License, Warranty, Ordering Information, Order Form, and Installation Instructions. 5) TREETOP.MAN - This is a 40+ page text file containing the complete TreeTop manual. 6) VENDOR.DOC - This file is provided for shareware distributors and contains a brief description of TreeTop. A vendor license agreement is also provided that must be completed by non-ASP vendors. 7) INSTALL.EXE - This is an installation program that auto- matically copies your TreeTop files to your hard disk and optionally modifies your AUTOEXEC.BAT file for proper TreeTop opera- tion. 8) README.TXT - This file contains the latest information on TreeTop that may not be reflected in the bound manual. There are two requirements that must be met for TreeTop to operate properly on your computer. You must first copy the file TT.EXE to a directory on your hard disk drive that is included in the global path variable. That will insure the execution of TreeTop from anywhere on your system. The second requirement is that you set up an environment variable that instructs TreeTop to find its help (TREETOP.HLP) and parameter (TREETOP.PAR) files in the correct directory. The easiest way to accomplish this is to execute the INSTALL.EXE program included with the other TreeTop files. The install program will automatically create a TREETOP directory on your hard drive while copying your TreeTop files from a floppy disk (or hard drive). Just execute the install program by typing A:INSTALL (if your master TreeTop disk is in drive A:), or by executing the install program from the hard disk if your TreeTop files have already been copied to the hard disk. You will be prompted for the drive you wish to have TreeTop installed on, and asked if it is OK to modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. When the installation is complete, reboot your computer to activate the changes. TREETOP INSTALLATION cont. If you do not wish to use the installation program, you must create a directory on your hard disk drive called TREETOP, then copy all of the above files to that directory. You must also edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to include the directory TREETOP in the path command and set an environment variable that tells TreeTop where to find its files. You can do this by following the steps outlined below: 1) Choose the drive on which you wish to install TreeTop. The following example assumes drive C:. 2) Now create the TREETOP directory by using the "make directory" DOS command, MD. Note: After each command listed below, press <ENTER> to execute. MD C:\TREETOP 3) You can now copy all the files from your master floppy to the TREETOP directory using the DOS copy command. If your master disk is in floppy drive A:, type COPY A:*.* C:\TREETOP 4) You must also edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that each time you boot the computer TreeTop will know where to find its help and parameter files. To do this, include the following line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file: SET TREETOP=C:\TREETOP 5) The last thing you must do is edit the path command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to include the directory, C:\TREETOP; in the path variable. You should reboot your computer when you have completed the above five steps. After rebooting, you can run TreeTop by simply typing TT from anywhere on your system. Note: You should only edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file in a non-document ASCII mode (also known as DOS ASCII or text mode). If you are not familiar with your autoexec.bat file or how to edit it, you should read your DOS manual and/or get some help from a knowledgeable person. Most editors or word processors provide a way to edit files like autoexec.bat. Check your editor or word processor manual if you are not sure. INSTALLING A MOUSE To use your mouse with TreeTop, you must first load the standard Microsoft (or Microsoft compatible) mouse driver. There are typically two different ways to load a mouse driver. The first and most common way is to include a line in your CONFIG.SYS file that instructs the operating system to load the mouse driver every time you boot. The other way is to execute a .COM file from the system prompt or from your AUTOEXEC.BAT file that loads the mouse driver. See the manual that accompanied your mouse for specific instructions on how to load your mouse driver. _______ ____|__ | (tm) --| | |------------------- | ____|__ | Association of | | |_| Shareware |__| o | Professionals -----| | |--------------------- |___|___| MEMBER This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP).
