-
- There are several Demos on this diskette, which demonstrate smx and related
- products. See "smxNet demo," below, for directions if you wish to run
- the smxNet demo.
-
- For all demos other than smxNet demo, type
-
- a:rundemos
-
- to start the demo instal/run program. Note that you must run the Demo Disk
- from your A drive, since you are asked, during certain demos, to reboot
- your computer from the Demo Disk. If your A drive is a 3 1/2" floppy
- drive, see "Notice to 3 1/2" Disk Users", below.
-
- The demo files are compressed on the disk. They must be uncompressed
- onto your hard disk before being run. This is done by rundemos.exe.
-
- NOTE: Do NOT run the .exe files on this disk (except for rundemos.exe).
- ^^^^ These are self-decompressing files which contain the demos. Running
- them will cause demo files to be put onto your hard disk in whatever
- directory you happen to be in. They will not run properly if this
- happens since directory structure will not be preserved.
-
- Once the files for a particular demo are on your hard disk, you can run
- directly from your hard disk, rather than using rundemos.
-
- In any case, it is a good idea to look at the files that are installed,
- since there are document files and sample source code files to look at.
- Although full source code for the demos is not provided, we have included,
- for some of the demos, a pertinent source file as an example of how to use
- the particular product
-
- Do not delete test.dat, since several of the demos use it.
-
-
- Notice to 3 1/2" Disk Users
- ---------------------------
-
- The Demo Disk must be run from drive A, because certain demos ask you to
- reboot your computer from the Demo Disk. If your computer has a 3 1/2" A:
- drive and also has a 5 1/4" drive, follow these instructions, or request
- the Demo Disk in 3 1/2" format:
-
- 1. Format a 3 1/2" HIGH DENSITY, bootable disk:
-
- format a:/s
-
- It is necessary that you use a HIGH DENSITY disk in order
- for the smxFile demo to work properly.
-
- 2. Copy all files from the Demo Disk to it, preserving
- directory structure. Example:
-
- xcopy /s/v b:\*.* a:\
-
-
- smxNet Demo Instructions
- ------------------------
-
- The smxNet demo does not run from rundemos, as the other demos do.
- To install it, type:
-
- a:\netinst from the root of your hard disk.
-
- This will decompress and copy the smxNet demo files onto your hard
- disk into the \SMXDEMO\NET directory. See net.doc, there, for further
- directions on running the demo.
