My Little Realm's v2.5 Public Library Installing the Evaluation Version -------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation Put the distribution disk in the A: drive and type: a:install (If you put it in the B: drive, type "b: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. 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.
