This program will extract the files needed to read
THE LITTLE BOOK.
- FIRST
Before you download, you need to decide which drive or
directory you
want to save it into. I recommend you save to a disk in A:drive.
You will then
have a backup, and can install to any drive/directory. A
subdirectory named
"tlb" is good, but not required.
All THE LITTLE BOOK program files should be placed
in an empty
subdirectory. C:\tlb is preferred, but X:\any will work fine. The
RTLB.EXE
program will not load if not in the same directory with its text
files, or if
the text file or program has been altered. A future version will
check
the %PATH%... (This is a beta.)
- YOUR SYSTEM
If you are using a GUI OP SYS such as Windoz or Oz2,
follow the
directions in your users manual or HELP Tutor to decompress the
file and
setup the EXE program to run in a "dos window."
DOS or LINUX systems users may also want to do some setup for
best performance.
- OR, THIS MIGHT WORK...
- 1. Go to "Start," select "Restart in DOS" and proceed as
below:
Or, go to "Programs," select "DOS Shell" or "DOS Prompt" and
then:
- 2. Using DOS commands,
Change to your Root
Directory---------------------->C:\WINDOWS>CD\
Create a subdirectory for THE LITTLE BOOK---------->C:\>md
tlb
Now change to that directory----------------------->C:\>cd
tlb
Copy TLB.exe to your C:Drive----->C:\TLB>Xcopy A:TLB.exe
C:
(Note: if the tlb.exe program is not in A:drive, use the correct
path.)
Then type
tlb-------------------------------------->C:\TLB>tlb
and press enter.
When it finishes you will see your prompt again.
Now, while you are in DOS, would be a good time to run the RTLB
program.
type RTLB at the C:\TLB> Prompt-------------->
C:\TLB>rtlb
and press enter.
- 3. After a successful test of THE LITTLE BOOK program:
Restart your machine. Now go to "File" (or Start) in the control
bar
and select "new." Select an icon, create a new folder or
"shortcut,"
depending on your system.
GUI power users can create a PIF and run RTLB in a DOS window by
clickclicking
on its icon. The rest of us may have to look up key words in the
help file
or users manual, or beg help from our friendly computer guru.
PLEASE NOTE
This file will change as work continues on the site....
I welcome input from persons who succeed in installing the
TLB.EXE program.
Your input will assist me in completing and releasing the final
version of the
RTLB program. If possible, please include a description of the
any error
message, and an explanation of how it occurred. Information on
your system will
be needed.
While I have done my best to avoid typos and bad grammar,
I fear some
have slipped past me (I discovered another one today), and I
regret any wrong
scripture references...
A printed version of The Little Book is available. For
