Installing the SPM Software
The installation program automatically performs the following:
Checks available space on the hard disk. If space is insufficient, the
installation is terminated and an error message is generated.
Checks the autoexec.bat and config.sys files. If either file is
write-protected, the installation is terminated and an error message is
generated. SPM must make changes to these files.
Saves a copy of autoexec.bat as autoexec.old.
Saves a copy of config.sys as config.old.
If autoexec.bat has not already been configured for SPM, performs the
following:
Adds c: \spm to the path statement
Adds the line SET AMS PATH=C:
Adds the background print command
PRINT /D:PRN/B:4096/U:3/M:200/S:1>NUL
Adds the following line to config.sys if it is not already present
DEVICE=C:\ANSI.SYS.
Copies the ansi.sys file from the floppy disk to c:\.
Creates the directory c:\spm.
Copies the following files from the floppy disk into c:\spm:
spm.exe
ams_hlp.eng (English language help file)
ams_hlp.fre (French language help file)
ams_hlp.spa (Spanish language help file)
Creates the following directories if they do not
c:\spm\backup
c:\spm\reports
c:\spm\tmp.
