- ABOUT THE FILES THAT YOU'VE RECEIVED...
-
-
- -- DR6WIN.ZIP : This is a packed file which contains
- the following two files:
-
- -- README.BAT : This batch file which describes how to
- install this update.
-
- -- OPEN_UP.ZIP : Another packed file which contains
- the remaining update files.
-
-
- HOW TO USE OPEN_UP.ZIP...
-
- Unpacking this file with the proper syntax will generate all
- the remaining files needed to update your DRDOS 6.0 operating
- system. It is a packed file just like the DR6WIN.ZIP file which you
- have already discovered. OPEN_UP.ZIP is a little different in that
- it contains files along with their stored path information. Therefore
- it is necessary to unpack this file with the "-d -JRHS" options (case-
- sensitive) to put the files it contains into their own proper sub-
- directories.
-
- Type the following commands at the command line to proceed:
-
- MD UPDATE
- PKUNZIP -d -JRHS OPEN_UP.ZIP UPDATE
- CD UPDATE
-
- To create a floppy disk which can be used to update floppy based
- systems or multiple licenses of DRDOS, prepare a low density diskette
- using the FORMAT command and type the following:
-
- PKUNZIP -d OPEN_UP.ZIP d:
-
- d: -- Floppy drive with the newly formatted floppy disk
-
-
- HOW TO USE THE FILES EXTRACTED FROM OPEN_UP.ZIP...
-
- *** BEFORE PROCEEDING, read the important notes in README.1ST ***
-
- You will notice that the OPEN_UP.ZIP file also contains a file
- called UPDATE.BAT. This is the batch file you will use to update your
- DRDOS 6.0 operating system. To update DRDOS, you will need to specify
- on which drive DRDOS is already installed. If this batch file does
- not find DRDOS 6.0 already on the machine you are using in the drive
- you specify, it will not install the update.
-
-
- -- FOR USERS WITH DRDOS ON A HARD DRIVE...
-
- To update a DRDOS installation on a hard drive, you must specify
- which bootable partition of your hard drive contains DRDOS and the
- name of the sub-directory containing the DRDOS files. The partition
- will normally be the "C:" partition and the sub-directory, normally
- the "DRDOS" directory. Now, you will need to log onto the drive and
- sub-directory containing the UPDATE.BAT file and the remaining files
- which were extracted from the OPEN_UP file, and type:
-
- UPDATE d: path
-
- d: -- The drive on which DRDOS is installed.
- path -- The path which contains the DRDOS files.
-
-
- -- FOR USERS WITH DRDOS ON A SET OF FLOPPIES...
-
- You can update a DRDOS installation on a set of floppies in much
- the same way as you can on a hard drive. The difference is that
- the UPDATE.BAT file needs only to know which floppy drive contains
- the first DRDOS operating system diskette to be updated. So, you
- will need to log onto the drive and sub-directory containing the
- UPDATE.BAT file, and type:
-
- UPDATE d:
-
- d: -- The floppy drive containing the DRDOS 6.0 STARTUP DISK.
-
- NOTES ON FLOPPY INSTALLATION:
- -- The UPDATE.BAT file will prompt you for each of the other
- disks as they are needed.
- -- Digital Research does not recommend updating your original
- floppy disks. Use UPDATE on a backup set.
- -- Users with two floppy drives only on their machine should
- have the UPDATE.BAT file and the others unpacked from the
- OPEN_UP file in one drive, and run the batch file from
- that drive specifying the other as the drive containing the
- floppies to be updated.
-
-
- WHAT TO DO IF YOU RUN INTO TROUBLE...
-
- -- IF THE OPEN_UP.ZIP FILE "DOESN'T WORK"...
- -- Check that you've entered the command correctly and that any
- options are used as specified above.
- -- Check the utility file's integrity by typing:
-
- PKUNZIP -t OPEN_UP.ZIP
-
- -- If the integrity of the utility file is bad, you may have to
- attempt downloading the DR6WIN.ZIP file again.
-
- -- IF THE DRDOS UPDATE.BAT FILE "DOESN'T WORK"...
- -- Use the on-line help which is available from the UPDATE.BAT
- file by typing: UPDATE /H
