Before installing any files, the install program will display two

messages. The first message describes the type of installation

(SingleĆUser, even though this is the SharedĆUser software); the

second lists the number of diskettes required for the install

procedure and the amount of hard disk space required for the DPS

software.
Step 2.

You will be prompted for the drive and subdirectory in

which to install the software. The defaults are as follows:

<DRV>:\<RPE>\<AMX3>

where:

<DRV> is the network drive where Windows is installed

<RPE> is the ReSource subdirectory

<AMX3> is the AutoMax V3.x subdirectory

You can make changes to any of the above parameters. Note that

the DPS software must be installed in the same path of the

SharedĆUser Executive software. <DRV>:\AMXWORK will be the

default working drive and subdirectory. If you need to change the

default, you must do so at the Setup menu in the Executive.
Step 3.

If a UDC task skeleton file (SKELETON.UDC) is found in

the install directory, the install procedure will display a

message stating that the existing skeleton file

(SKELETON.UDC) has been reĆnamed to

USKELTON.UDC.

The install procedure will install a new skeleton file

(SKELETON.UDC). After the install procedure is completed, you

must update the new skeleton file with any custom information from

your old skeleton file (USKELTON.UDC), and then delete the old

skeleton file.
Step 4.

The install procedure will begin writing files to the network

server hard drive. After disk 1 is installed, you will be

prompted to replace disk 1 with the floppy disk labeled

2", and so forth for the remaining diskettes. Be sure to

respond appropriately each time to the OK" prompt to

continue the installation Important: Insert only floppy

disks 1, 2, and 4. Do not insert disk 3. It is used for

Runtime software only. The DPS software will occupy

approximately 30K to 270K, depending on the option, of

memory on the hard disk when installed.

You can abort the installation procedure at any point by selecting

Exit. If you abort the installation procedure, you must delete all of

the files in the <AMX3> and <TEMP> subdirectories.
Step 5.

A text file, README.DPS, contains information pertaining

to using the DPS software and the Executive software as

a shared program on a network. You will be prompted for

whether you want to read the file or not. If you select

Yes", the file will be displayed. If you select No", you

can read or print out the file later by selecting

README.DPS from the <AMX3> directory list using the

Windows File Manager.

Step 6.

A message will be displayed that describes how to install

the DPS software onto a node on the network. The node

installation procedure should be done immediately after

completing this procedure. This procedure is also

described in section 8.2 below.
