Installation
============
When you start ZET the first time, please proceed as follows:
Install the original disk to a formatted disk or harddisk in any
directory.
ZET has been compressed into the file -ZET.EXE (by the compression
program LHA).
The English-Spanish-boxes are compressed into -EN-SPAN.EXE.
If you have registered, you'll find the english-french vocabulary
in the file -EN-FR.EXE, German-Spanish in -DT-SPAN.EXE and German-
French in -DT-FRZ.EXE.
You should use the program INSTALL.EXE which is on the disk to
decompress these files. This should be the most comfortable way,
too.
3.1 Change to the drive in which you have inserted the disk,
typing: a:
or: b:
and press Enter.
3.2 If you see anything like A:\> or B:\> on your screen, please
type install
and press Enter again.
3.3 In the installaion program:
If you wish to copy ZET to your harddisk, you can take over
the suggested directory name C:\ZET pressing Enter.
If you wish to copy ZET to a floppy disk, please keep ready a
formatted disk containing at least 360 kB free memory and
enter the appropriate drive letter and any directory name. If
your computer only has one drive and you intend to install
from one disk to another, copy all files to your harddisk
first (copy *.* [directory on the harddisk]) and then install
from the harddisk to the floppy disk.
3.4 When you have finished copying (decompression), please enter
at the DOS prompt: zet
and press Enter.
3.5 The program itself explains everything else. Anytime you can
read the words 'F1 Help' in the last line of the screen, you
can press the 'F1' key and get information and instructions
about the operation.
Notes:
a) If INSTALL finds the file -ZET.EXE and compressed
learning-files, these will be used for installaion.
Otherwise, already decompressed files are simply copied.
The program INSTALL fulfilles three jobs:
1. It installs ZET conveniently and securely.
2. It allows to install ZET as often as desired without
possessing the original disk.
3. It assists users to make backups of the box files.
b) The copy program INSTALL.EXE works quite slowly when
copying small box files from one disk to another. It is
advisable to use the DOS-command XCOPY (xcopy [source]
[destination]) instead.
c) Important: DOS's COPY doesn't copy empty files which
ZET requires, too. Please use XCOPY instead.
d) To start ZET you needn't change to its directory typing
cd [directory]. For example, you can also enter: \zet\zet
if the program files are located in directory \zet.
e) ZET.EXE requires the file ENGLTEXT.ZET in its directory.
f) The box-files MUST be written to subdirectories, because
the root directory can hold only a limited number of
files.
If you haven't copied any files to learn, please enter a directory
to contain your files, on the program's request. This directory
will be created, if necessary.
The file 'REGISTER.ZET', which is indispensible for the program's
work, is written into this directory first. 'REGISTER.ZET' is the
table of contents of your box-files.
ZET creates a file named 'pfadinfo.zet' in the present directory
(that is the one you started ZET from), where the present box-file
directory and up to four of the directories, which you have used
recently to store your boxes, are listed. You can change between
these directories easily in the program.
Please make sure the system date of your computer is correct. If
necessary, change it in menu 'Extra - Date'.
