║ 1 ║ "SETTING UP FS-PRO" ║
╚═══╩═══════════════════════════╝
After the "automatic" installation
you need to finalize the SETUP of
FS-PRO.
This file is provided as the
INFORMATION screen for the FS-PRO
Setup and Utilities module. Even
though the installation is
completely automatic, you are
encouraged to use this module to
thoroughly test your current PATH
settings. If anything fails, it is
most likely due to improper path
selections.
Be sure to select item # 1 (SETUP)
and check your PATHMAP and other
system preferences. The INSTALL
program created the proper PATHS
and DIRECTORIES for all of the FS-
PRO files. Please, double check
the PATH to Microsoft's Flight
Simulator.
You may also enter your own name
for personalization of menus and
reports. Once you have the system
installed, you need not worry
about the SETUP again. Unless, of
course, you wish to change
versions of Flight Simulator or
your path selections.
This module is the ONLY way to
create and maintain the PARM.OVL
file that controls FS-PRO. If
PARM.OVL is missing or corrupt,
FS-PRO is guaranteed to fail!
Please, do NOT attempt to edit
PARM.OVL using a text editor or
EDLIN. It may, or may not, work.
If you want to create a "fresh"
PARM.OVL file without having to
re-install FS-PRO, then simply
delete it from the \FSP directory
and run this module by typing FSPU
and pressing ENTER. The name
implies FS-PRO UTILITIES. Of
course, you will need to <E>dit
all parameters as the DEFAULTS
will NOT match your system.
The PARM.OVL editing screen is
very simple to use. Everything is
menu selectable and the editor is
quite friendly. If you forget to
put a backslash after the path
entry, we do it for you.
If you are "new" to DOS be sure to
look for problems associated with
the (:) colon and the (\)
backslash. If your directory paths
and names are too long and won't
fit in the "field" provided, then
we suggest that you use the
DEFAULT names provided during the
installation procedure or succomb
to creating short and simple path
names.
If you want to change VIDEO
GRAPHICS, PRINTERS or PORTS,
select <H>ardware from the menu.

║ 2 ║ "TAGGING FILES" ║
╚═══╩═══════════════════════════╝
We needed a way to quickly COPY
and DELETE the special files used
by FS-PRO, so we added the
"tagged" DIRECTORY and FILE
MANAGER specifically for the .ADV,
.DAT, and .MOD files found in the
various FS-PRO and Flight
Simulator directories.
The MAIN (Utility) MENU is used to
select the FILES used by FS-PRO
and automatically presents you
with the DOS listings for the
specific directories being used by
FS-PRO. These are saved in the
PARM.OVL file created when you use
FS-PRO. You can see the filesize,
creation date and time, etc.
NOTHING IN YOUR "TAG" DIRECTORIES
If you fail to get a listing of
either ADVENTURES or MODES, then
you have probably failed to
install FS-PRO correctly. We
provide a very nice selection of
beginning ADVENTURES and their
associated .MOD files in the
MODPAK1.EXE and ADVPAK1.EXE self-
extracting modules. These are
automatically extracted during the
INSTALL process.
Just "browsing" through the "tag"
directory choices will instantly
"clue" you to any PATH problems
before they can occur. REMEMBER:
If nothing appears in the "tag"
window then FS-PRO will never
operate properly.
The TAG DIRECTORY will allow you
to COPY or DELETE numerous files
by "tagging" them and then
deciding what to do with them. The
TAG directory listing will ONLY
handle 1,000 files, so if you
expect to have more than that
number in any individual
DIRECTORY, then we suggest that
you use another program, such as
XTREE, to manage your FS-PRO
files.
In all cases, when working with
TAGGED files, you will be given a
chance to APPROVE deleting files
(one by one) or automatically
delete all that you have TAGGED.
Copying will also allow you to
OVERWRITE existing files or
APPROVE the overwrite.
When you select ADVENTURE files to
DELETE or COPY, the corresponding
DESCRIPTION is also deleted or
copied at the same time.
