Filename : INSTALL.HOW

It is strongly advisable to install Sedt in its own subdirectory.
This makes organization of the files and future updates much
easier. To create a subdirectory under DOS use the MD command.
For example

MD C:\SEDT

will create a directory calles SEDT on drive C.

Next copy all files from the installation floppy to the
subdirectory with the COPY command. For example

COPY A:\DOS\*.* C:\SEDT
COPY A:\DOC\*.* C:\SEDT

Now check that SEDT will run by making the directory containing
all the files you current working directory. For example

C:
CD \SEDT
SEDT

Sedt should fire up and be ready to accept commands.

The next step is to make Sedt runnable from any directory. The
simplest way to do this is to include the directory containing
Sedt in your PATH statement in AUTOEXEC.BAT. See your DOS manual
for instructions.

You can speed up initialization if you create the logical name
SEDT which should contain the directory with the Sedt files.
This is done with the SET command in AUTOEXEC.BAT. For example

SET SEDT=C:\SEDT

In a file server environment you may wish to separate the files
into public, sharable files and user-specific files for
customization and data files. The environment variable SEDT
should point at the public directory, which may be read only.
The logical name PSEDT should point at the users private
directory, to which there must be write access. Here the user
can create a private SEDT.CNF file, rulers will be saved here,
and any other data file created by Sedt will reside here.

Once you have Sedt up and running, you will probably want
to start customizing it for your preference. By creating a file
called SEDT.CNF as instructed in SEDTMAN.EDT, section 2.3.1, you
can increase performance dramatically and also make it behave the
way you prefer.

The Windows version of Sedt is called WSEDT.EXE. To
install it, copy all files in the WINDOWS directory on the
installation floppy to the same directory as the other files.
For example:

COPY A:\WINDOWS\*.* C:\SEDT
