Running Apex II Sketching Program from a DoubleSpace Volume (97605)

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, create an APEX.BAT file and edit the LICENSE.BAT file. To do this:

1. Determine the host drive for the compressed drive that contains the Apex software. To do this, type DBLSPACE /LIST at the MS-DOS command prompt and then press ENTER.
   
   NOTE: Steps 2, 3, and 4 assume the host drive is H.
2. Change to the DoubleSpace-compressed drive that contains the Apex software. For example, type C: at the MS-DOS command prompt and press ENTER.
3. Change to the Apex directory, delete the MOVE.COM file, and copy the LICENSE.EXE file. To do this, type the following at the MS-DOS command prompt (press ENTER after each line):

   cd\apex
   del move.com
   copy license.exe h:\license1.exe

4. Use MS-DOS Editor to create a batch file named APEX.BAT in the Apex directory with these entries:

         @echo off
         h:
         cd\ 
         apex.exe

5. Using MS-DOS Editor, edit the LICENSE.BAT file so it reads as follows:

         @echo off
         c:
         cd\apex
         h:\license1 %1
         copy h:\license.*
   						

   NOTE: The period (.) and asterisk (*) are important on the COPY line.

You can now run the Apex II Sketching Program by typing apex at the MS-DOS command prompt.
