Installation of EB on a DOS system

The EB CD contains the following files: EBDOS.ZIP; INSTALL.BAT; PKUNZIP.EXE in a subdirectory "dos".
The simple installation program INSTALL.BAT will install EB.EXE on any hard drive.

Do the following steps to install EB on your DOS system:

DOS should be running
Insert the CD
Change to the CD drive (e.g. by typing "e:")
change to the "dos" subdirectory ("cd dos")
type "install c:"

If you want to install EB.EXE on a drive different from c: substitute c by any legal drive identifier.
(Hint: If you want to install on a drive higher than i:, please edit install.bat!)

Some messages appear on screen. First EBDOS.ZIP will be copied to your hard drive before it is extracted. Finally EBDOS.ZIP will be deleted. A message will be displayed on screen if the installation had been successful.

Change to the directory where EB.EXE has been installed and type "EB". This will start the program.

Refinements

1. EB can use expanded memory which accelerates program execution. If there is no conflict with other software, the following line should be included into your CONFIG.SYS file: c:\windows\emm386.exe ram

2. Special program parameters (see user´s manual) are available for

monochrome screens (e.g. LCD displays)
"personal" configurations in a network environment
problems with mouse double-clicks
exclusion of expanded memory (this may be a severe problem which keeps EB from running!)

type "eb.exe noems" to start EB and exclude the use of expanded memory.

3. Some user options should be configured when running EB for the first time (see user´s manual)
