3+Open TCP/IP client software can fit on one high-density diskette of
any size, but the TCPSETUP program checks to see if the target drive is
a diskette and forbids the installation if it is.  Following is a procedure
for installing 3+Open TCP/IP on a high-density diskette.

Because TCPSETUP will not install onto a removable drive, you must
first install the TCP/IP software onto a fixed disk drive.  Use the DOS
SUBST command to avoid conflicts between the TCP/IP software and files
that already exist on your hard drive.


Using SUBST

SUBST allows you to substitute a drive letter for a given directory path.
For example, to create temporary drive letter X: equivalent to subdirectory
\TMP on partition C:, you would type:

SUBST X: C:\TMP

The subdirectory C:\TMP must exist before executing SUBST.

Note:  the SUBST command cannot be used with a redirected drive.


Installing 3+Open TCP/IP Client Software on Disk

1.  Create a subdirectory to contain the TCP/IP software (if one does
not already exist), and use SUBST to assign it a drive letter.

MD C:\TMP
SUBST X: C:\TMP

2.  Insert the 3+Open TCP/IP Installation disk into your diskette drive,
make that drive the current drive (for example, B:), and run TCPSETUP.

B:
        TCPSETUP

3.  When prompted by TCPSETUP for the source and destination drives,
specify your diskette drive (B:) as the source drive for TCP/IP
installation, and specify whatever drive letter you've created using
SUBST (for example, X:) as the destination drive to install TCP/IP upon.

        Source drive...  B:
        Destination...   X:

4.  When prompted by TCPSETUP for the "hosts file" pathname, enter a
pathname that refers to the proper diskette drive (for example, A:\ETC)
where the diskette being created will be booted up.

        Hosts file...  "A:\ETC"

5.  Format a high-density diskette with DOS using the FORMAT /S
option, specifying the diskette drive you are currently using (B:).

        FORMAT B: /S

6.  Copy all the directories and files, using the DOS XCOPY command,
from the drive you have SUBST'ed (X:) to the diskette drive (B:) which
contains the diskette you are creating.

        XCOPY X:\ B:\ /S /E

7.  If you intend to use a "hosts" file, create the directory specified
in step 4 on your diskette, and place your hosts file in it.

        MD B:\ETC
        COPY H:HOSTS B:\ETC  (Make sure you have a hosts file to copy.)

8.  Delete the directories and files on the SUBST'ed drive (X:).

        DEL X:\3OPEN\DOSWKSTA\LANMAN\DRIVERS
        RD  X:\3OPEN\DOSWKSTA\LANMAN\DRIVERS
        DEL X:\3OPEN\DOSWKSTA\LANMAN\NETPROG
        RD  X:\3OPEN\DOSWKSTA\LANMAN\NETPROG
        RD  X:\3OPEN\DOSWKSTA\LANMAN
        RD  X:\3OPEN\DOSWKSTA
        RD  X:\3OPEN
        DEL X:\

9.  Remove the substitution made to drive X: as shown below:

        SUBST X: /D

10.  Boot the 3+Open TCP/IP diskette in the boot drive you specified
in step 4.
