EXTRACTING HYPERSHELL
=====================
COPY THE SUPPLIED DISK TO A NEW DISK AND PUT THE ORIGINAL SOMEWHERE SAFE.
WORK WITH THE COPIED DISK!
The LZH files are compressed 'archives' which means that you will have
to 'extract' them as normal files before you can use them.
The files may be extracted from the archives using the LHARC utility
supplied. This allows all or selected parts of an archive to be extracted,
viewed or printed. To find out the instructions for LHARC, type:-
A> LHARC
To get a listing of what is in the archives, type:-
A> LHARC V HSBASE
A> LHARC V HSDEV
A> LHARC V PDBITS
If you have a single floppy and no hard disk, make a note of the (original)
file sizes, ready for when you extract them.
2 floppies
----------
Each archive extracts onto one floppy. e.g. Put blank formatted
disk in B, HyperShell disk in A, change to B: and type:-
B> A:LHARC x A:HSBASE
B> A:LHARC x A:PDBITS
put second blank disk in B: and type
B> A:LHARC x A:HSDEV
Hard disk
---------
All archives can be extracted onto a directory on the hard disk. e.g.
C> MKDIR HYPSHELL
C> CD HYPSHELL
C> A:LHARC x A:HSBASE
C> A:LHARC x A:HSDEV
C> A:LHARC x A:PDBITS
1 floppy and RAM disk
---------------------
You can copy one archive and LHARC.EXE to
the RAM disk, then extract to a blank formatted floppy. repeat
for second archive etc.
1 floppy, no RAM disk
---------------------
If you only have 256k, or don't have a RAM
disk capability, you may still be able to get by if you copy the
entire disk, then delete all archives but one from the copy, which will
leave you room to extract a number of files from the archive.
Repeat this until you have all the files extracted. Alternatively
buy a second drive or a hard disk.
RUNNING HYPERSHELL
==================
To begin with, use the files from HSBASE.LZH. Ensure PATH and
COMSPEC are set correctly, adjust contrast to show colours or
intensity levels correctly, and try running :-
HS MENU
This will present a menu of options available to you. To start with,
select the HS option to display the HyperShell introductory hyperfile
to get you started on how to use HyperShell.
DON'T BE PUT OFF BY THE EXAMPLE HYPERFILE STRUCTURE - SETTING UP A
SIMPLE HYPERFILE IS EXTREMELY EASY - READ THE TUTORIAL TO SEE HOW.
The HyperShell system is a ShareWare product and you need to
register if you intend using HyperShell to develop hyperfiles.
The public domain utilities supplied do not need registration
and can be freely copied and used.
The file HSHELL.DOC gives brief product details, the shareware
details and tells you how to register. If you register be sure
to indicate that you have release 2.5, so that the next release
is sent to you when it is available. If you copy this package,
you must copy all files on both these disks.
Good Luck
