- The installation procedure for PentaBlox is relatively straightforward.
-
- INSTALLING FROM DISKETTE
-
- To install from diskette, you need to perform the following steps.
-
- o Place the diskette in the appropriate diskette drive.
-

- hard disk then create the directory using the MKDIR command at
- the DOS prompt or using the File | Create Directory command in
- the Windows File Manager.
-
- o Copy the files to the directory of your choice using the COPY
- command at the DOS prompt or the facilities of the Windows File
- Manager.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
-
- If you downloaded PentaBlox from a BBS (or received it in the form of
- archive files from some other source), you will need to extract the
- contents of the archive file(s) into the directory of your choice on
- your hard drive. If you want to create a new directory for PentaBlox
- then use the MKDIR command at the DOS prompt or use the File | Create
- Directory command in the Windows File Manager.
