Setting Up ModSoft

LMSFDT.SYS, GCNFTCOP.SYS, and QUANTUM.SYS files. You should also install the ModSoft example
files at this time. See “
Setting Up the Configuration Software. ”
To install the runtime files for ModSoft:
1. Identify the path in which ModSoft is installed, for example, C:\MODSOFT\.
2. Insert the installation disk in the drive (probably A:).
3. From MS-DOS on the PC, enter the following command (assuming installation from the A: drive):
C:\> COPY A:*.SYS C:\MODSOFT\RUNTIME\
4. Verify that the files have been copied to the C:\MODSOFT\RUNTIME\ directory.
5. Verify that the example files have been copied to the C:\MODSOFT\PROGRAMS\ directory.
