Installing the SPM Software
Before you install or run SPM, use
diskcopy
on a DOS PC (see your operating
system guide) to make a backup copy of the SPM diskette and store the original
in a safe place. Use the backup copy to run the installation program.
For installing SPM on a DOS PC, follow the appropriate instructions in the next
section of this book.
NOTE:
If your PC does not have a hard disk, you do not need to run the installation
program. Go to “Initializing the SPM Software.”
