1.4 Installation

Turbo is a DOS-based program. Therefore, while Turbo can run under other operating systems (refer to
Appendix A for information on additional operating systems such as Microsoft

®

Windows

®

), the most straightfor-

ward installation and operation is under DOS. This manual assumes that the software is being run under DOS 5.0
or 6.xx.

DOS 5.0 and 6.xx use HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE to manage computer memory. So, both of these files must
be in memory for Turbo to run correctly.

Before opening the diskette envelope and installing the program, please read the Software License printed on the
envelope. By opening the envelope, you agree to all of the terms of the Software License. In summary, Crown
grants a limited license to use Turbo on only one computer at a time. Please contact Crown if you need to
simultaneously run Turbo on more than one computer or on a network.

1 It is considered good practice to install software from a working copy. Therefore, make a copy of each of

the disks and use the working copy (backup) for the installation. Store the originals and backup in
separate locations away from magnetic fields and temperature and humidity extremes.

2 Turbo is NOT compatible with some third party memory management software—especially if that software

has DPMI services. As a result, if you are using a third party memory manager with DPMI, disable it and
enable HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE. Since memory managers are usually loaded by CONFIG.SYS
as part of the boot routine, it will probably be necessary to modify CONFIG.SYS to accomplish this. Refer
to the Appendix A for more information.

3 Boot up your computer. Many systems are set up to automatically load and execute Microsoft Windows.

If this is the case with your computer, exit Windows and return to the DOS prompt. Insert Turbo disk 1 into
your floppy drive, and switch to that drive by typing

a:

E

or

b:

E

as appropriate, depending on

the floppy drive’s designation in your computer.

4 After the computer displays the DOS prompt from Step 3, type

install

E

.

5 After a brief delay, you should be prompted for the name of the directory where you want Turbo to be

installed. Press

E

to accept the default directory (turbo) or enter the name of the directory you wish to

use. The installation program creates the directory if it does not already exist. Note: Some files may be
overwritten if Turbo is installed into the same directory as an older version.
All files are then created and copied into the directory. These files are:

TURBO14.EXE

The Turbo program.

TURBO13.GXL

A library file consisting of fonts, graphic images, and other associated material.

RTM.EXE

A memory manager required by Turbo’s protected mode.

DPMI16BI.OVL

A DPMI server required for the protected mode.
