Instructions for Downloading and Plotting Slides ------------------------------------------------ This package contains a slide presentation. Each presentation has been sent to you as a single compressed file so you can download it to your PC more easily. At first this may seem complicated, but if you've ever downloaded a large number of files, you'll appreciate how simple this process really is. Here is what to do: 1. The slide presentations show up as "MPE files" in the attached message. Copy the file from HPDesk to MPE. InTray> open "slide message" MESSAGE 1> copy "slides.exe" to (slides) MESSAGE 1> close InTray> signoff NOTE: If you have the download script for HPDesk, you can use it in place of steps 1 & 2. After opening the message, type: MESSAGE 1> download "slides.exe" c:\temp\slides.exe 2. Download each MPE file to your PC as a binary file using AdvanceLink or another terminal program as you would normally do. Download it to your hard disc for best results although a floppy disc will work. You should download them so they have names ending in ".EXE" on your PC. For example, download (remote filename) "SLIDES" to (local filename) "SLIDES.EXE". 3. Exit your terminal program. Using PAM select MS-DOS on your PC. 4. From the DOS prompt, change directories (CD) to get where you copied the ".EXE" file. For example, if you put the file in a directory called "temp" on your C: drive, you would type: C:> cd c:\temp 5. Now you need to expand the ".EXE" file into separate Drawing Gallery files. To expand the compressed presentation, type the ".EXE" file name followed by the destination where you want the Drawing Gallery files to appear. For example, to put the Drawing Gallery files onto a floppy disc in your A: drive, you would type: C:> slides.exe a: 6. All the Drawing Gallery files will appear at the destination you specify. You can check this by typing: C:> a: A:> dir 7. Delete the ".EXE" file from your hard disc. In our example you would type: A:> c: C:> del slides.exe 8. Plot or edit the Drawing Gallery files as you would normally.
