- System Requirements
-
- To run all tests:
-
- MSDOS(tm) Version 3 or higher
- 500KB free memory
- 40MB free disk space
-
- Less than 40MB disk space is acceptable, but prohibits calculation of
- the DOSMark(tm) score. Installation is accomplished in two stages,
- file transfer and licensing. The first stage is performed via an
- installation program that copies and decompresses the files to your
- system hard disk. The files are stored on the diskette in compressed
- form, and the installation program expands the compressed files to a
- DOS-compatible format. The second stage of the installation procedure
- requires you to run the licensing program. The licensing procedure
- requires your consent to the terms and conditions, and you must enter
- your name and organization at the licensing prompts. To run the
- Install program:
-
- 1. Insert the disk in the drive. Make it the current drive by typing the
- drive letter followed by a colon, then press the ENTER key. Type INSTALL
- and press the ENTER key to activate the installation program. For example:
-
- A:
- INSTALL
-
- Three menu choices are provided. Readme (R), Installation (I), Exit (X).
- The letter in parentheses indicates the letter you may type to select the
- menu choice. If your mouse is working, two mouse clicks on the menu item
- will also select and activate the choice. Select -Installation-.
-
- You are prompted for the Source Drive, the Destination Drive and the
- Destination Path.
-
- The installation process will create a new directory on your hard disk
- drive according to the information provided for the destination path. It
- will expand the contents of the diskette onto your hard disk drive into
- standard DOS format.
-
- NOTE: If a file is accidentally deleted, you may run the install program
- again. If a file previously exists it will ask if you want to overwrite
- the file. You may choose the letter -Y- for Yes or -N- for No. Data file
- templates are included in the self-extracting file. Therefore, overwrite
- them only if you desire to erase the data that you may have previously
- created. The Database files have the suffix *.DBF and *.MDX.
-
- 2. Run the BENCH licensing utility. Example:
-
- BENCH /L
-
- The terms and conditions are presented on the screen. You are required to
- provide your Name and Organization under the terms of the Licensing
- Agreement. Follow the directions on the display. Bench is now installed.
-
- 3. At this point you should print or type the help file:
-
- TYPE HELPME or
- MORE < HELPME or
- PRINT HELPME
-
- WARNING: Additional information crucial to running the benchmark program
- is contained in the help file called HELPME (This file is not available
- until file installation is completed). Follow the instructions contained
- therein.
