- Welcome to the Microsoft BASIC Professional Development System
- --------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Before Setup: You MUST not have read-only BASIC libraries or QBX.INI files if
- you are updating or reinstalling a version of Microsoft BASIC.
- These files must be set to read/write before running Setup.
-
- SETUP: The Setup program is on distribution disk 1. You MUST run Setup
- to install a fully functional copy of Microsoft BASIC 7.1, since
- many of the files are both compressed and in fragments which must
- be decompressed and linked together correctly. Setup handles
- this process automatically. You will need up to 14MB of hard
- disk space and 500KB of available RAM to run Setup successfully.
-
- SETUP /BATCH: Run Setup with the /BATCH option to make Setup run more quickly
- (Setup can take over an hour on a DOS 286 computer with default
- options). To do this, first run Setup with the /BATCH option;
- then run the BUILD batch file that is created and left on the
- target drive. Setup will copy and decompress the files; the
- BUILD batch file will construct all of the files as specified by
- your choices in Setup.
-
- README.DOC: The README.DOC file is located on disk 1. This file contains
- additional technical information and documentation corrections.
-
- PACKING.LST: The PACKING.LST file is located on disk 1. This file contains
- a complete list of all files and directories on the distribution
- disks as well as instructions on how to decompress individual
- files without running Setup.
-
- See the Getting Started manual for more information about installing and
- beginning to use this version of Microsoft BASIC Professional Development
- System.
