The following excerpt from the BOYAN manual explains how to install BOYAN 51:
===============================================================================


The BOYAN program and reference manual-on-disk are compressed into two
"zipped" files, named boyan52A.ZIP and boyan52B.ZIP. If you receive
BOYAN from a user group, ShareWare distributor, or Bulletin Board
System, then it will also be in the form of the boyan52A.ZIP and
boyan52b.ZIP files.

BOYAN provides a DOS batch file named INSTALL.BAT which makes it easy
for you to get BOYAN up and running. Install extracts the BOYAN files
from the boyan52A.ZIP and boyan52b.ZIP archives and organizes them logi-
cally into subdirectories.

The INSTALL.BAT batch file should already be present on the same disk
as the boyan52A.ZIP file. If it is not, then type the following
command:

PKUNZIP boyan52A INSTALL.BAT


Before running Install, you should have at least 600 K of free space
on the disk where BOYAN will reside. (If you have only 360 K floppy
disk drives, you will also need two blank, formatted diskettes.)
Follow these simple steps to install BOYAN:

1. At the DOS prompt, change to the disk drive
containing Distribution Diskette #1. (For example,
if Distribution Disk #1 is in disk drive A, you would
type A: .)

2. Type INSTALL C:\BOY5 to run the batch file.
It will create a new directory on your C drive named
C:\BOY5. Note: to install BOYAN into a different
directory, you must specify its name on the command
line instead, e.g., INSTALL B: or
INSTALL D:\COMM\BOYAN.

The batch file will display messages on the screen to keep you
informed as it is working. If for any reason you wish to interrupt
the batch file before it completes, press . Otherwise,
when installation completes successfully, you will be given the option
to "Press [space] to run BOYAN". Pressing will start BOYAN
up, as described in section 2.3.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
