Installing the SPM Software

Programming with SPM
The installation program automatically performs the following:
■
Checks available space on the hard disk. If space is insufficient, the
installation is terminated and an error message is generated.
■
Checks the autoexec.bat and config.sys files. If either file is
write-protected, the installation is terminated and an error message is
generated. SPM must make changes to these files.
■
Saves a copy of autoexec.bat as autoexec.old.
■
Saves a copy of config.sys as config.old.
■
If autoexec.bat has not already been configured for SPM, performs the
following:
Adds
c:\spm
to the path statement
Adds the line
SET AMS
_
PATH=C:
Adds the background print command
PRINT /D:PRN /B:4096 /U:3 /M:200 /S:1 >NUL
■
Adds the following line to config.sys if it is not already present
DEVICE=C:\ANSI.SYS
.
■
Copies the ansi.sys file from the floppy disk to c:\.
■
Creates the directory c:\spm.
■
Copies the following files from the floppy disk into c:\spm:
spm.exe
ams_hlp.eng (English language help file)
ams_hlp.fre (French language help file)
ams_hlp.spa (Spanish language help file)
■
Creates the following directories if they do not already exist:
c:\spm\backup
c:\spm\reports
c:\spm\tmp.
■
Does one of the following:
Creates the SPM configuration file c:\spm\ams.cfg, if it does not
already exist. In this case, the ams.cfg file consists of only one line, in
which the language attribute is specified:
LANG 1
if you specified
English or did not specify a language with the
install
command;
Modifies the ams.cfg file, if it already exists, by adding or changing the
LANG value.
