Installation ------------ System Requirements: DOS 3.0 or higher, 256K RAM, hard disk. This is the freely distributed version of InCommand (though the software is NOT free; see License Agreement, above). To install from an Inductive Logic floppy disk: ----------------------------------------------- A: (assuming your drive is A:. Use your own drive, if not A:) INSTALL To install from the INCOMAND.EXE self-extracting file: ------------------------------------------------------ If you're reading this file, you've probably already run the self extracting file INCOMAND.EXE. If so, then you've already done steps 1-3 below, so skip to step 4. 1. Copy INCOMAND.EXE to an empty directory on your hard drive (we suggest C:\IL) 2. CD to that directory 3. Type INCOMAND (this will extract all the InCommand files) 4. Type INSTALL (this is required!) Note that you MUST run INSTALL, as simply putting the IL directory in your path will NOT work. Getting Started --------------- All of the manual is available on-line with the IHELP command. Just type IHELP and follow the directions. Read the TUTORIAL topic in IHELP for a fast, simple introduction. Printing the Manual ------------------- A complete manual is ready for printing in the file INCOMAND.PRN. This file should print on any text-mode printer (e.g., laser, dot matrix). If your printer is on the standard printer port, you can print it by typing: COPY INCOMAND.PRN PRN Registration ------------ To register your software, and receive the latest version and printed manual, simply print out the REGISTER.TXT file from the IL directory, fill it out, include your check, and mail it to us.

Release Notes ------------- MOVEDIR ------- Because of a bug in DOS's FASTOPEN function, if you use FASTOPEN, your computer can lock up after using MOVEDIR. We have never seen a loss of data from this, but you must reboot to clear the lock up. Therefore, like other utility vendors (including Norton), we recommend that you do NOT use the DOS FASTOPEN utility. You can use DOS's SMARTDRV.SYS to provide the speed benefits of FASTOPEN, and then some, with no risk of locking up.
