corresponding to what you
want installed:
HARD DISK
If installing the PC208 software on a hard disk
or a diskette with 1.2 megabytes or greater,
then select 6 to install all the programs on the
specific drive.
FLOPPIES
If installing the PC208 software on 360 K
floppies, then run the Install program two
separate times. It will require two formatted
floppies, and the floppies should be blank
(without the system on them). The first time,
select 2 and 3 for GraphTerm and TELCOM.
Next, select 4 for SPLIT.
5.3.3 RUNNING PCPST FROM A FLOPPY DISK
PC208 should be in the root directory of the
work diskette, or in drive B: with "B:\" in your
DOS PATH. See your DOS reference for more
information on the DOS PATH.
5.3.4 INSTALLATION WITHOUT A HARD DISK
1.
Insert the work PCPST diskette into the
desired floppy drive. Then, change to that
drive and start the program. For example,
to run PCPST from drive A:, you should
insert the work diskette into drive A: and
type the following:
a:
PST
2.
Data will be collected into a subdirectory
named "DATA" on your work diskette.
Continuing the above example, you can see
a list of your data files by typing the
following:
dir data (if you are in the root
directory of A:)
OR
dir a:\data
(if you are in some other drive
or directory)
3.
For floppy disk operations, available data
space may be small. For example, if
PCPST and the necessary PC208 program
files were copied onto a 720 Kbyte diskette,
there would be only about 70 Kbytes
available for data storage on the diskette.

Auxiliary files used by PCPST are kept in
subdirectory PSTPAR. Normally, you will not
need to be concerned with the auxiliary files.
Most of the files in subdirectory PSTPAR are
parameter files used by PC208/SPLIT to
convert data. The following is a listing of
subdirectory PSTPAR:
