WORDFLEX INSTALLATION GUIDE. 1. Installation procedure. Insert your system diskette into drive a and start the IBM Personal Computer by turning the power on. Replace the system diskette with the WORDFLEX distribution diskette (diskette 1 if you have single sided drives) in drive a. Place a formatted diskette in drive b:. Type "start". This command will start an installation program which is selfexplanatory. As you will see, it will offer you several options. It will automatically start your first WORDFLEX tutorial session using your newly created diskette. Note 1: If you want to use the autostart option of the installation program, the WORDFLEX working diskette should have been formatted using the /s (system transfer) option. Note 2: For transfer onto a fixed disk, proceed as above. You will be most likely running DOS Version 2.+ on a fixed disk. If your WORDFLEX files are to be put into a subdirectory, there is no sense to select the WORDFLEX autostart option since the file autoexec.bat has to be in the fixed disk root directory (if you boot up your fixed disk system without using a floppy). The "start" installation option is meant to create your first WORDFLEX working diskette, containing all the files necessary for text processing and learning how to use WORDFLEX. For installation of WORDFLEX working diskette without tutorials, you type "transfer" instead of "start". Before you do that, we suggest that you first familiarize yourself with WORDFLEX in the five tutorial sessions provided. WORDFLEX runs under DOS Versions 2.+ and 3.0. With 128 Kbytes of memory, WORDFLEX uses about 29 Kbytes under DOS Version 2.+ for the text buffer (about 12 pages). Any additional memory installed and available (i.e., not used for printer spooler or memory drives) is added to the size of the text buffer. Users with 256 Kbytes can edit up to 60 pages of text. -1- WORDFLEX Version 2.60 Installation Guide  The WORDFLEX distribution diskette is not copy protected but it cannot be used to run WORDFLEX. This was done intentionally to protect you from an accidental erasure of any of the files needed by WORDFLEX. Users running DOS Version 2.+ can fully utilize the subdirectory feature of the operating system with Version 2.60 of WORDFLEX. The program is able to access files in all directories on all installed drives. This concludes the instructions how to install WORDFLEX. At this time, you do not have to read the following technical information how WORDFLEX works and what is the purpose of the files included on your distribution diskette(s). You may decide to return to the following section once you became more familiar with WORDFLEX. 2. Overview of the WORDFLEX System. The following files are included on your distribution diskette: wx.exe - WORDFLEX main program install.exe - WORDFLEX installation program defaults.exe - program for modification of WORDFLEX default parameters. start.bat - file for creation of your first working WORDFLEX diskette transfer.bat - file for creation of additional working WORDFLEX diskettes autoexec.bat - automatic start file ibm, color, - files containing WORDFLEX default monochr parameters. help.txt - online help file containing -2- WORDFLEX Version 2.60 Installation Guide  summary of WORDFLEX commands. tutor1.txt tutor2.txt tutor3.txt - tutorial files tutor4.txt tutor5.txt manual1.txt manual2.txt - WORDFLEX User's Manual files manual3.txt To run, WORDFLEX needs the following files wx.exe config.www help.txt File config.www is intentionally not included on the distribution diskette in order to protect it against accidental file erasure. You can, however, override this protection by renaming one of the files ibm, color or monochr to config.www. The files ibm, color and monochrome are needed for IBM Monochrome display, Color/Graphics Adapter with a color monitor and Color/Graphics Adapter with a monochrome monitor, respectively. The installation program "install" allows you to select the proper file to be included on your working diskette as config.www. If you have both the Monochrome and Color/Graphics boards, you have to create various working diskettes with the proper options. Program "install" accepts a numerical parameter. You can run it directly by typing "install n" where n is 1 for creation of a working diskette with tutorial files and 2 for file transfer with all options selectable. Program "install" generates batch file "copbat.bat" containing commands to perform transfer of all essential and some optional files. It will appear on you distribution diskette directory after you have invoked either the "start" or the "transfer" batch file. -3- WORDFLEX Version 2.60 Installation Guide  Section XIII of the User's manual explains the workings of the defaults.exe program. This program senses the settings of the switches that select the display and creates file config.www according to the settings and your selection of color or monochrome display if the Color/Graphics Adapter board is installed. This procedure is described in the last section of the Manual since it assumes thorough knowledge of the options available in WORDFLEX. We have to caution you not use it prematurely; strange things can happen if you do not select the options properly. -4- WORDFLEX Version 2.60 Installation Guide  WORDFLEX Version 2.60 Installation Guide 1b ÍY[XÃU‹ì‹^‹Vˆ€ò‹ó±C´Ítú´Í< tò<tî<u€üuå< t8<u$€>¨ïu€ùtÑSQ·´Í° ¹
