2.2
Installation of new run time files
If you are using the Modsoft programming software version 2.4 or 2.5, it is
necessary to update the following runtime files in order for Modsoft to
recognize your module. Versions prior to 2.4 are not supported. Version 2.6
and newer already include these updates.
LMSFDT.SYS
Zoom screens
GCNFTCOP.SYS
I/O Map module definitions
QUANTUM.SYS
Quantum help screens
This may be accomplished by first identifying the pathname where you have
installed your Modsoft programming software and the drive letter of the floppy
drive from which you intend to install. A typical pathname assuming installation
of the C: drive is as follows:
C:\MODSOFT
The new runtime files required to use all versions of this module are supplied
on the 3.5 inch MSDOS formatted floppy disk titled:
Quantum Runtime Files, Spectrum Controls, Inc Part Number: 20500121-xx
To install these files, operate your PC in MSDOS mode, perform the following
command:
C:>\COPY A:*.SYS C:\MODSOFT\RUNTIME
+ Note: This assumes you are installing from drive A: and that you have previously installed Modsoft
in the directory C:\MODSOFT. If not, you must make the appropriate substitutions.
