Installing PanelBuilder
Chapter 2
2-4
If your system contains a default file from an earlier version of
PanelBuilder, the file will be converted to version 5 format, and your
previously configured defaults will apply to the new installation. A copy of
the original file will be renamed as DEFAULT.nnn, where nnn is the
previous version number. (A defaults file from version 2.0 of PanelBuilder,
for example, would be renamed and saved as DEFAULTS.200.)
PanelBuilder Development Software is distributed on floppy disks. Before
installing PanelBuilder, make a backup copy of the original software. Store
the original software in a safe place and install PanelBuilder from the copy.
The software installation program creates a disk directory for PanelBuilder and
copies all the necessary files. By default, the directory is \PDS on drive C.
Example: Installing PanelBuilder in the \PDS directory on Drive C
Insert the (first) PanelBuilder Development Software disk in drive A and
switch to drive A. Type:
A: press Enter
To run the installation program, type:
install press Enter
Follow the instructions on the screen. If you wish to install the software in
some other directory or drive, you can change the drive and the pathname
when prompted by the installation program.
Follow these steps to start PanelBuilder:
1. Turn on the computer; if you are prompted, enter the time and date.
2. If the directory path isn’t specified, change to the PDS directory. If
you followed the INSTALL example, PanelBuilder is on the C drive.
Type:
C: press Enter
CD PDS press Enter
