PBLIB1 - Installation notes

The PD code and utilities "PBLIBx" have two basic interfaces with
your system, both through the PBBIN directory.  As utilities, the
EXEs sort of assume that they are on the PATH= list.  I place them
near the head of the list, but you may wish them found last.  Personal
choice.  The .cfg structure means that you will want to adjust
parameters with the EXEs to taste.  The two main params you will
probably care about are OUT= and COMPRESSED=.  I set some of my
utilities with OUT=LPT1 as the default  (TLISTER for one) so that
I am normally dumping to the printer.  COMPRESSED=YES sends HPCL
laserjet commands to go to a lineprinter compressed mode.  This will
probably annoy non-HP printers.  I really need feedback in this area
to improve printer support in version 2.

I. Assume you only download PBLIB1.ZIP (200k) for the sources. Remember to
    UNZIP with the -d option to retain the directory structure.  Start by
    creating \pblib1 and cd \pblib1.

     a. Adjust your TPC.CFG  for FAR calls and loose string checking
         (and /L for compiling DB.pas).  My file is as follows:

/UC:\BP\UNITS;c:\PBBIN1\TPU;
/$V-
/$F+
/L
{GP}

      b. From \PBLIB1\UNITS do a MAKETPU.BAT.  If the compiles work,
          do a MOVE.BAT.   The TPUs will now be on \PBBIN1\TPU.

      c. From \PBLIB1\PROGS do a MAKEEXE.BAT.  If the compiles work,
          do a MOVEEXE.BAT.   This copys the EXE & DOC files only to
          \PBBIN1\UTIL.  You may or may not wish to do a MOVECFG.BAT
          depending on whether you have changed anything.

      d. Put \PBLIB1\UTIL on the PATH= string in AUTOEXEC.bat and re-boot
          and the utilities should be available.

II. If you have problems in compatability or compiling or whatever,
then get the file PBBIN1.ZIP (450k)  contains the results (no sources) of
the above steps in section I.
