Section III. Software Installation
NOTE: These instructions assume that the reader has a reasonable understanding of PC/MS-DOS
and Lotus 1-2-3.
1 The programs contained on the Distribution Diskette can be copied to a sub-directory on the hard drive
named "\MP4" by using the INSTALLH.BAT Program on the Distribution Diskette. The Distribution
Diskette should be placed in Drive A. Enter the DOS Command <A:>, which will change the default
directory to Drive A. Have a blank diskette available as the first instruction to be executed will make a
"back-up" copy of the Distribution Diskette. Enter the command INSTALLH.BAT. Follow the
instructions that appear during the DISKCOPY Program to make multiple copies. Remove the diskette
from Drive A and store it in an appropriate manner. The instructions executed by INSTALLH.BAT are:
DISKCOPY A: A: Make a backup copy of the Distribution Disk
C: Create MP4 Subdirectory
MD \MP4
CD \MP4
Make MP4 the current directory
COPY A:MP4.BAS COPY 5 files to the MP4 Subdirectory
COPY A:MP4.ASC
COPY A:MP4.EXE
COPY A:NONDEST.WK1
COPY A:DESTRUCT.WK1
CD \
Make the main directory the current directory
COPY A:MP4BAS.BAT COPY 3 files to the main directory
COPY A:MP4GW.BAT
COPY A:MP4EXE.BAT
2 To print a copy of the software manual, enter the command TYPE A:MANUAL.ASC >PRN. The
manual is 24 pages in length.
3 To print a copy of the MP4.BAS source code, enter the command TYPE A MP4.ASC>PRN. The listing
is 9 pages long.
4 If you elect to use MP4.BAS, then the PATH must be set so that BASICA.COM or GWBASIC.EXE can
be found. MP4.EXE, which executes much faster than the interpreted versions, does not require any
support programs.
5 All versions of "MP4" require a maximum of 256 bytes be allocated to the receive buffer for the RS-232
Port. Since BASIC normally allocates 256 bytes for the receive buffer, the instruction to run the
program from DOS should be: BASICA MP4 or GWBASIC MP4.
6 MP4.EXE can be recompiled with Quickbasic. Quickbasic allocates 512 bytes for the receive buffer.
The following options should be selected from the QuickBASIC Compile Option Menu:
Stand-Alone EXE File
Produce Debug Code
7 For those users who elect to use the interpreted version of MP4, batch files, MP4BAS.BAT and
MP4GW.BAT, have been created which contain the following instructions:
