MS-DOS

Summary:

To make a DOS system disk that also contains the Multiplan program files, do the following:


 * 1) Format a blank disk with the system files using the DOS Format/s command.
 * 2) After running the INSTALL utility that configures Multiplan to your computer, copy all the files from the Program disk onto the formatted disk using the DOS Copy command.

With Multiplan versions 3.x, the MP.HLP file will not fit onto a 360K floppy disk along with all the other necessary program files. Because of this limitation, copy only the files MP.COM, MP.COD, MP.SYS, and MP.DAT onto the formatted disk.

With Multiplan versions 4.00, 4.01, and 4.20, there is not enough space on a 360K floppy disk to put both the DOS system files and the Multiplan program files.
