Echo Getting Started
Echo
Echo This disk contains two .EXE files which actually contain multiple files
Echo that have been compressed using PKSFX from PKWARE, Inc. When you enter
Echo the file name and press Enter, it will execute just like a program and
Echo uncompress all the files contained therein to the CURRENT DRIVE AND
Echo DIRECTORY. The file called USERDOC.EXE contains the The Guardian docu-
Echo mentation and GUARDIAN.EXE contains the programs.
Echo
Echo Some distributors compress these files further so they can fit more
Echo products on one disk. If you received such a file (it may have been
Echo called GUIARDIAN.ZIP, for example), you have already gone through the
Echo first step to be able to read this file. In addition to the compressed
Echo files referred to above, the following files are part of The Guardian:
Echo
Echo README.BAT (This file), README2.BAT, WARNING.BAT, INSTALL.BAT,
Echo INTRO.BAT, INTRO.TXT, GUARDIAN.MRE, and PBS-VIEW.COM

Echo If these files are already on a diskette, you can skip the following
Echo paragraph.
Echo
Echo The first thing you need to do is to copy all of these programs onto
Echo a diskette. Simply set the DOS command prompt to the drive and directory
Echo where this file is located, and copy all the Guardian files to drive A:.
Echo Then delete the files on your hard disk. You now have a "distribution
Echo disk" in the same condition that we provide to the distributors.
Echo
Echo The file called INSTALL.BAT will install The Guardian for you. (It
Echo is summarized in README2.BAT). It assumes that the files are in drive A:.
Echo At the end of the INSTALL procedure, you will need an empty formatted
Echo diskette or one with at least 150K of available space on it. INSTALL will
Echo copy the master menu program, TGM.EXE, and the master configuration file,
Echo GUARDIAN.MRE, to the diskette. It is IMPERATIVE that you have this program
Echo on a spare disk in case you inadvertantly lock your hard disk. TGM.EXE is
Echo the program that allows you to unlock a disk.

Echo
Echo If you look at a batch file such as INTRO.BAT, you will see that it simply
Echo runs the program PBS-VIEW.COM. This program is from Public Brand
Echo Software; it allows you to view the contents of its companion TXT file
Echo and scroll back and forth through it.
Echo
Echo Additional note ...
Echo
Echo If you have already created the directory where The Guardian is to be
Echo installed, when INSTALL.BAT runs, you will see a message "Unable to
Echo create xxxx" (where xxxx is the name of the directory). INSTALL is
Echo merely trying to create a directory that already exists.
Echo
Echo If The Guardian is already installed, INSTALL will NOT replace the
Echo configuration file GUARDIAN.MRE. However, if you are installing a
Echo registered copy, you should replace it yourself because of the serial
Echo number. Run UPDATE.BAT or read UPDATE.TXT for more details.
