This menu will allow you to install WordCruncher
on the most common hardware configurations. If none of the
selections matches your hardware configuration, please go to
Appendix A of The PC-SIG Library user's manual for
additional instructions.
Why install at all?
WordCruncher needs to be aware of where it is working, and must
be able to write to data files it maintains. Since the CD ROM
disc is a ``read-only device'' (which means you cannot copy any
data onto it or change it in any way), you need to tell
WordCruncher where it can find a read/write drive (a disk drive
where it can write its data files and maintain them, such as a
hard drive or floppy disk).
By going through this install process, you are copying the needed
data files to a read/write disk of your choice. Once installed,
WordCruncher will always expect to find those data files in the
same place. Remember, if you change your hardware configuration
you must go through this installation procedure again.
Which Choice is right for you?
WordCruncher needs to know two things:
1) What read/write disk you are installing for, and
2) Where your CD player is located.
Each menu choice lists these two pieces of information. The
first piece of information is the read/write disk you are
installing for. The menu will let you install for floppy drive
A, or for hard drive C. It is recommended that you install
for your hard drive if you have one. If you have to install for
your floppy drive A, you need to make sure that every time you
run WordCruncher the disk you used during installation is in
floppy drive A.
The second piece of information is the location of your CD
player. The menu selection you choose for installation must be
the location where the CD player is configured on your system.
