INSTALLING DMAIL
DMAIL is supplied as an archive file called "DMAIL6.ZIP". It contains all
the files you need. Follow these steps to get a functioning system onto your
hard drive:
1 - At the "C:>" prompt create a new directory on your hard drive:
MD DMAIL <press enter>
2 - Using an archive un-packing utility, unpack the contents of DMAIL6.ZIP
into the new directory.
3 - Check for a file called "CONFIG.SYS" in the root directory of the startup
drive. If it is there it should contain the following statements with the
minimum values shown:
FILES = 20
BUFFERS = 8
You can see the contents of the file just by typing:
TYPE CONFIG.SYS <press enter>
If these statements are absent you can use any text editor to insert them. If
the file does not exist, you can easily create one with the following steps:
1 - Go to the root directory:
CD\ <press enter>
2 - Create a file called CONFIG.SYS and put the two lines in it:
COPY CON CONFIG.SYS <press enter>
FILES = 20 <press enter>
BUFFERS = 8 <press enter>

<press F6 then press enter>
Thats all!
