Computer with 2 Floppy or Micro Disk Drives
This section shows how to install the DL20 Offline Programming Software
on a personal computer with 2 (720K) floppy or micro disk drives.
The installation procedure creates a System/DL20 disk which lets you run
the software and store messages in a DL20 subdirectory. You can create a
separate formatted disk for storing DL20 files in an S Record file format.
The prompts and responses you see below will be identical or similar to what
you see on your computer display.

ATTENTION: Before beginning the procedure, write protect
your DOS disk using a write protect tab. See your computer’s
DOS manual.
The steps below create a single System/DL20 disk that you can use to boot
your computer and run the DL20 software.
1. Insert your computer’s DOS write protected disk into drive A and turn on
the computer. Enter date and time if applicable.
2. Insert a blank disk into drive B.

4. Remove the DOS disk from drive A and store in a safe place.
5. Insert the DL20 installation disk into drive A and type:
A:> COPY DL20.EXE B: [Enter]
1 file(s) copied
The DL20 Programming Software is now installed on the disk in drive B.
6. Remove the DL20 installation disk from drive A and store in a
safe place.
7. Move the System/DL20 disk from drive B to drive A.
8. Create a DL20 subdirectory on the System/DL20 disk by entering:

Operating in a subdirectory allows you to create approximately 100
DL20 messages.
