Before installing ODS:
Make a Backup Copy of the ODS Software
Make a backup copy of your original ODS floppy disks by using the
DOS DISKCOPY command. Refer to your computer’s DOS
documentation for more information about making backup copies.
Check the PATH Command
Make sure that the PATH command, which is usually initialized in
the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, includes the directory that contains
COMMAND.COM. This is usually the root directory, but can be
any directory, depending on your version of DOS.
For instructions on how to modify the COMMAND.COM and the
AUTOEXEC.BAT files, refer to your DOS manual.
Follow the procedure in this chapter to install the ODS software into
a personal computer.
Using DOS
Important: This procedure assumes that drive A is a 3.5-inch
floppy-disk drive and that drive C is a hard-disk drive.
If the drive designations on your computer are different,
substitute the appropriate designations.
