Run the MLD software from Windows 95

To run the MLD software look for the file called MLD.EXE and double click on its icon.
A warning message will appear, saying the program is in DOS mode and that to
continue all the other programs need to be closed. Click YES to continue. The MLD
will load and the main editor screen should appear.
Side note: if you click on the mld.exe icon with the right mouse button, and you choose
"properties" from the pop-up menu, you will be able to look at and set "advanced" properties
for the application. If you click on "Program" properties and then on the "Advanced" button
you will be able to specify the MS-DOS mode. Make sure that the program is set to "MS-DOS
Mode", and "Use current MS-DOS configuration".

IMPORTANT NOTE: On start-up the MLD software tests your hardware and software
and then produces a splash screen. The first time you run it, the software will create an
"mld.cfg" configuration file. If the program does not start up, please refer to the
Appendix G "Troubleshooting" to solve possible problems.
