My Little Realm's v/2.5 Public Library Installing the Evaluation Version Released: June 1993 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Note Regarding CD-ROM Installation The files on your CD-ROM are not compressed, so you can see the look of a program right from the CD-ROM by typing the program's .EXE name at the DOS prompt. You will not be able to save any files you create in this manner, however. To do that, you must install the program to a floppy or a hard drive. It is recommended that you install this program to a floppy disk if you wish to test it thoroughly. That way, the files you create can be copied to your hard disk should you decide to keep it later on. You can install Public Library from your CD-ROM to a floppy disk, test it as thoroughly as you like, and then if you decide to keep it, you can install it to your hard disk by running the Install found on your floppy disk, just as if the floppy disk were a distribution disk. Install will copy over all of Public Library's files, and if you've created any data files, it will notify you and ask if you want those copied over as well. -------------------------------------------------------------------- - Hardware and software requirements - IBM or compatible PC with 512K RAM Requires 267 Kb of disk space Public Library can be run from a hard or a floppy disk DOS version 3.3 or later -------------------------------------------------------------------- Great reasons to buy My Little Realm's Public Library! 1 Free bonus program!

Sincerely, John L. Salisbury -------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation from the CD-ROM From Public Library's CD-ROM directory, type: install Install will ask for one or two items: 1 the target drive, and 2 the target directory (if copying to a hard disk) If you install Public Library to a floppy disk, you will not be asked for a target directory. Please remember that you cannot install to a CD-ROM. After specifying the drive (and directory, in the event you're installing to a hard drive), Install will ask if you need to make any changes. If you need to change an entry, press or the up arrow. --------------------------- Install offers \MYREALM as the default directory. You can change it to your liking of course, but it is recommended that all of My Little Realm's programs be put in the same directory. If you give Install the name of a directory that already exists, it will put Public Library into that existing directory. Warning: You should only put Public Library into a directory with other My Little Realm programs. They are made to interact properly. If Public Library is your first MLR program, you should put it into its own directory. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Printing the Documentation To print Public Library's documentation, go to the Public Library directory (MYREALM is used as an example) and direct the printout of PUBLIC.TXT to the printer using the "> PRN" option as shown below.
