Installation:

     HARD DISK:
          To install MEDPAS to a hard disk, make sure you have
     more than 1.5 MB free. Place disk 1 in the floppy drive and
     type:

            INSTH <source drive > <destination drive>
         eg INSTH A C

     where <source drive> is the drive containing the MEDPAS disk 1
     you received from the distributor, and <destination drive> is
     the drive the MEDPAS files will be copied TO.
     A third parameter  is available eg Insth A C M  which will
     put you into the manual immeadiately you have installed MEDPAS.

     Follow onscreen instructions to continue.

     FLOPPY DISKS:
          To run from floppy disk you need 2 floppy drives, these
     may be any drive, 5.25, 3.5, 360K, 720k, 1.4 MB or 1.2 MB.
     Format 5 disk in your B: drive, place your original disk 1 in
     drive A: and type

            INSTF       (-no drive specification is needed)

          If Drives A: and B: are dissimilar, copy the newly installed
     Disk 1 onto a disk formatted in drive A: and label it Disk 1.

Further Info:

     On the hard disk all the unarchived files will be under
     the subdirectory of \IDRSYSMP. There will be one batch file
     MEDPAS.BAT  in the Root Directory. Note this is not the same
     as the MEDPAS.BAT file used to run the floppy disk version.
     The floppy disk file distribution is detailed in the file
     MEDFILES.TXT found on Disk 4 of the unarchived set or in the
     \IDRSYSMP subdirectory on your hard disk.


Running MEDPAS:

     The hard disk will have a subdirectory of IDRSYSMP and a
batch file called MEDPAS.BAT in the root directory. Simply type

                      MEDPAS  <CR>

and follow instructions. Help is available with <Alt><F1>.

     Running from floppies, place Disk 1 in Drive A: Disk 2
in Drive B: and also type

                      MEDPAS  <CR>


Manual:

     Manual.exe is a dedicated reading utility which allows you to
browse through an abridged version of the printed manual available
with registration. It is to be found in the \IDRSYSMP subdirectory
on the hard disk or on Disk 4 of the new disks.
