- OS/2 2.1 Demonstration Program:
- V:TMI01
- 3/21/93
- ____________________________________________________________________________
-
-
- Welcome to the IBM OS/2 2.1 demo!
-
- This demonstration disk has been carefully designed to provide maximum
- compatibility under OS/2*, DOS and Windows**. The program should operate
- on any 286, 386 or 486 with a standard VGA display, DOS version 3.1 or
- higher and a hard drive with about 2 meg FREE.
-
- INSTALLATION:
- To install the program, insert the disk into your computer (in this
- example we shall assume it's: Drive A and follow the steps below.
-
- 1) (Type) A:INSTALL (if your drive is Drive B - type B:INSTALL)
- 2) (Press) ENTER
- 3) You will be asked onto which hard drive you want to install the program.
- One would normally type the letter C at this point to start the
- installation onto drive C.
- 4) The program will then begin installation. In all but a few rare
- situations the DEMO will begin, automatically, after installation. If
- your configuration precludes auto-start of the DEMO, the installer will
- tell you so. In that case start the DEMO manually as described in the
- next step.
- 5) To run the DEMO again, simply go to the root of the drive the
- program was installed on ( i.e. C:\ ) and type OS2DEMO.
-
- DELETING THE FILES FROM YOUR HARD DRIVE:
- To remove the DEMO from your hard drive, simply go to the directory
- that contains all of the DEMO files and type (or click on) DEINSTAL.
- This will ask you first if you're sure you wish to remove the files,
- after confirmation it will list the files and then remove them. If
- AFTER this process the message "BATCH FILE MISSING" or "BAD COMMAND
- OR FILE NAME" may appear, ignore the message the process is completed.
-
-
- PROBLEMS WITH INSTALLATION?
- In the unlikely event you encounter a problem installing the DEMO
- you may review the possible causes below or do a manual installation
- (see: MANUAL INSTALLATION)
-
- 1) Do you have at least 2 megabytes of FREE space on your hard drive?
- (If not, free up some space by deleting uneeded files or install on
- a different hard drive or computer).
- 2) Do you have a VGA (color) monitor? NOT CGA or EGA!
- (Check the manual that came with your monitor).
- 3) If installation completed but the program did not begin (you should
- have seen the intro showing a hand moving across the screen) go to
- the directory named OS2DEMO and type OS2DEMO or click on the file
- called OS2DEMO.BAT
- 4) If installation could not be completed and/or you are on a Network
- and the program failed to install, see: MANUAL INSTALLATION below.
- 5) If you are running any "Terminate and Stay Resident" programs (TSRs)
- there is a very slight possibility they could cause your computer to
- lock-up when playing the DEMO. A TSR is a small program, such as a
- calendar or E-Mail program, that is loaded into memory and stays there.
- These can often cause conflicts with other programs.
- Solution: Remove any TSR's that are running.
-
- MANUAL INSTALLATION:
- 1) To install the program manually first create a directory named OS2DEMO
- by typing: MKDIR OS2DEMO at the C:\ prompt.
- 2) Enter the new directory by typing: CHDIR OS2DEMO
- 3) Extract the files from the floppy disk drive A: by typing: A:OS2DEMO
- (for floppy drive B, replace A: with B: ). The files will be extracted.
- 4) To run the demo, type: OS2DEMO from within this directory.
