The Harmonie, PIANOMAN and Mr. Organ systems have been provided on this disk in an archived form in order to save space and to keep the files together. In order to retrieve the files: With a 2-floppy system: 1) Put a blank (formatted) disk in the B: drive - See the inside back cover of the Public Brand Software catalog for preparation information. 2) At the A> prompt, issue the command PKXARC PIANOMAN B: With a hard disk system: 1) Prepare a subdirectory for the data C> MD\NEWDIR (NEWDIR is any name you wish - or pick an existing subdirectory) 2) Go to that new subdirectory C> CD\NEWDIR 3) Issue the command C> A:PKXARC A:PIANOMAN Repeat the above for the other .ARC file on the disk:˙MRORGAN ----------------- The documentation files on this disk can be identified by their extensions of .DOC, .TXT, or names like README. These can be viewed with the PBS-VIEW program such as PBS-VIEW PBS.TXT or shown on the screen with the TYPE command such as TYPE PBS.TXT or copied to the printer with the COPY command such as COPY PBS.TXT PRN For information on MU.EXE, just run the program. ----------------- In order to run the Basic language programs (with an extension of .BAS ) on this disk, you must first prepare a disk containing your BASIC language interpretter program and these files. See your DOS manual if this does not explain things. 1) Format a blank disk as you normally do. We suggest that you include the /S parameter in your format command so that the disk will be bootable - ie will have the system on it. With your system disk in the A: drive and a blank in the B: at the A> prompt, issue the command: A> FORMAT B: /S (TO A BLANK DISK!) 2) Copy your Basic interpretter to this new disk. Issue the command: A> COPY BASIC*.* B: Note that if you have GW-BASIC instead of a BASICA, then the above command would be: A> COPY GW*.* B: 3) Replace the system disk in drive A: with the Public Brand Software disk containing the Basic language program(s) and issue the command: A> COPY *.* B: The Basic language programs can then be started by the command: BASICA xxxxx where xxxxx is the Basic language program name. Such as BASICA FRETS ----------------- Thanks for your support of our services.
