We ship your Developer's Kit on a set of floppy disks. The
INSTALL
program is included on Disk 1.
The files are stored on the floppies using Microsoft's COMPRESS
program. If you prefer, you can install files without using the
INSTALL
program by just copying them into the right place on your
hard drive and running EXPAND
on each file. Since the files are
stored on the floppy using their full name (not those marked as
compressed by using Microsoft's `.XX_' naming convention) you
must use a temporary file.
Warning! If you have a program in your path calledEXPAND
and it's not the one provided by Microsoft, then you should either change your path to use only the MicrosoftEXPAND
program, or be certain that yourEXPAND
program can decompress files which have been compressed using MicrosoftCOMPRESS
.
We show the system prompt as `C:\>' for the local hard disk drive, and `A:\>' for the local 3.5" floppy disk drive.
For these examples we assume that you install into a directory called `C:\CYGNUS' and that you use drive `A:' to read the installation floppies. Substitute other hard drives, installation directories, and floppy drives to match your environment.
The INSTALL
program first prompts you for an installation
directory:
At this prompt, enter the name of the directory where you want the tools
to be installed and press ENTER. INSTALL
prompts you
(assuming that you accept `C:\CYGNUS'):
The installation will write into C:\CYGNUS. Are you sure you want to continue [Y] or [N]
If you type N
, INSTALL
asks for another path name. If you
type Y
, INSTALL
begins the installation.
The program draws a status bar, which fills up as INSTALL
works.
When the box is full, the installation is complete. INSTALL
shows the name of the file being processed at the bottom of the screen.
INSTALL
prompts you for each disk in order.
To use another installation directory, specify the path to your desired directory wherever the examples show `C:\CYGNUS'
You must execute the batch file `SETENV.BAT' before running the Developer's Kit. You can set the environment automatically whenever you boot the machine by putting the following line in your `AUTOEXEC.BAT':
CALL C:\CYGNUS\SETENV.BAT
(If you install in a location other than `C:\CYGNUS', be sure to specify the correct directory.)
