ICP version 5.1
README.DOC
Please follow these instructions to install the ICP...
1. Type "install <source drive: target drive>" and press the
'enter' key. For example, if the program disk is in drive A
(source drive) and you wish to install the system on drive C
(target drive) type "install a: c:" and hit 'enter'. The system
will be installed in c:\icp.
The install program will install the ICP system in the
default directory x:\ICP where 'x' is the target drive. If you
desire to install in another directory, copy the unpack.exe file
to the directory of choice, move to that directory and type
'unpack' then hit the 'enter' key
2. A config.sys file has been provided which you may copy to the
root directory of your hard drive. However, you should not do this
unless you are absolutely certain that a config.sys file does not
already exist which might have command essential to your computer
system or other software products you are using. If you are unsure
about this, go to the root directory of the hard disk (boot drive)
and examine the directory very carefully for the existence of this
file. If you do find a config.sys file , use the DOS "Edlin"
utility to verify that the files and buffers are properly set...
The following lines should be present in the config.sys file.
1. files = 29
2. buffers = 20
The files should be set odd because of a bug in DOS causing
too much memory to be allocated for even numbered handle requests.
Research has shown that "20" is the optimum number of buffers for
this application.
3. The Clipper Environment Variable is required so that this
application can utilize the number of files specified in the
config.sys file (the default is eight which is not sufficient).
Additionally, enough environment space must be set aside so that
the DOS BACKUP, FORMAT, and RESTORE commands will be usable from
within this application. To accomplish this, the following line
must be present in your autoexec.bat file or entered at the DOS
prompt: "SET CLIPPER=R:50;f29". If you see a message similar to
"System error - not enough memory",you do not have enough environ-
ment space available for the "R:50" option and must change the
command to read: "SET CLIPPER=F29". In this case, you will not be
able to use the Format, Backup, or Restore functions of the ICP
system. Do your backup's from the DOS prompt instead.
********************************************************************
We have included a batch file (START.BAT) which will execute
the command "SET CLIPPER=F29" when the program is started. If you
choose to add the command to your autoexec.bat file, you may delete
the START.BAT file and enter the command "ICP" to run the program.
********************************************************************
The Shareware version of the ICP contains several document
(*.doc) files that you should read before attempting to run the
program. Only the Readme.doc and Vendor.doc files will be available
before the system is "unpacked".
1. Manual.doc is the ICP User's Guide.
2. Files.doc is the ICP "packing list" and lists all the files
which must be present in order to run the program.
3. Register.doc is the shareware registration and invoice. You
must complete and return this form to Spirit7 in order to register
your copy of the software.
4. Vendor.doc is included for software vendors who may wish to
distribute this program. This file includes vendor catalog
descriptions and other information specifically for vendors.
5. Readme.doc is this file.
You may print document files by typing the command "print
<file.ext>". For example, to print the readme.doc file, type
"print readme.doc " and hit the ENTER key. You may view document
files by entering the command "view <file.ext>". For example, to
view the readme.doc file, type "view readme.doc" and echo hit the
ENTER key.
This program is produced by a member of the Association of
Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the
shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a
shareware related problem with an ASP member by contacting the
member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can
help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does
not provide technical support for members' products. Please write
