Installing PC-MIPS
PC-MIPS must be installed on a hard disk drive (e.g.,
C:, D:, E:,,,etc.). Once a drive is selected, the installer
should create a root-level directory named \MIPS.
Additionally, the two sub-directories \MIPS\BIN and
\MIPS\AUX_FILE must be created. These directories are
created using the DOS command MKDIR or MD. The executable
programs of PC-MIPS are stored in the \MIPS\BIN directory.
The \MIPS\AUX_FILE directory contains various auxiliary files
used by PC-MIPS programs.
The correct directory structure can be created by using
the DOS XCOPY command. For instance, if L: is the drive
specification of you CD-ROM and you wish to install PC-MIPS
on drive C:, you should execute the following DOS command:
'XCOPY X:\DOS\PC_MIPS\*.* C:\MIPS\*.* /S /E'
(note: X is the letter of your CD-ROM drive).
(note: the target is a directory)
Once the software has been loaded, the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
should be changed so that the display program IMDISP knows
what display device is being used. This is done by setting
the environmental variable IMDISP. For instance, if the
hardware has VGA capabilities, the line 'SET IMDISP=VGA' must
be added to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. A complete list of devices
supported by IMDISP can be found in the file IMDISP.DOC in the
\DOC subdirectory and the README file in the \SOFTWARE\DOS\
IMDISP subdirectory.
At this point PC-MIPS can be run by typing
'\MIPS\BIN\PCMIPS'. If \MIPS\BIN is
added to the DOS PATH command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE, the
system can be run by simply typing 'PCMIPS'.
