SUMMARY
The SETUP program (SETUP.EXE) is designed to help you copy the
QuickBasic files from floppy disks to your hard drive.
The SETUP program (SETUP.EXE) from QuickBasic version 4.50 works
correctly ONLY from logical disk drive A or B of your computer.
SETUP.EXE does not work correctly when run from any logical disk drive
C, D, E, or higher. If you run SETUP on a logical drive other than
drive A or B, it is assumed to be a hard disk, and SETUP.EXE will
fail.
For QuickBasic version 4.00 or 4.00b, the SETUP program (SETUP.EXE)
only works from drive A. SETUP will not work on drive B or higher for
version 4.00 or 4.00b.
As an alternative for installing QuickBasic, you can use the MS-DOS
COPY command to copy each floppy to the hard disk with the following
command:
copy *.* c:
Note: In the repackaged version 4.50 product, the files are provided
in a packed format. After you copy the packed files to your hard disk,
you must unpack each file individually using the UNPACK.EXE program.
To speed the unpacking, you can write an MS-DOS batch file based upon
the PACKING.LST file.
