= SUMMARY =

The Setup program defaults to modifying three system configuration files, AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, and SYSTEM.INI.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The Setup program alters these files only after prompting for confirmation that changes can be made. If you do not want these changes made, files containing the proposed changes are placed in the directory in the files, AUTOEXEC.C70, CONFIG.C70, and SYSTEM.C70.

The following changes assume installation under C:. If the non-Windows Setup program CSETUP.EXE is used, no changes are made to the SYSTEM.INI file.

AUTOEXEC.BAT
The PATH environment variable has C:added at the beginning. The following environment variables are added:

Set LIB=C:;C: Set INCLUDE=C:;C: Set HELPFILES=C:*.HLP Set INIT=C: Set TMP=C:

SMARTDrive is added, if it isn’t already installed:

C:.EXE

CONFIG.SYS
The following SMARTDrive line is added, if not already there:

DEVICE = C:.EXE /double_buffer

Also, the DOS= line is modified or added to:

DOS=HIGH,UMB

SYSTEM.INI
The following four lines are added to the beginning of the [386Enh] section:

device=*vmcpd device=C:.386 device=C: device=C:.386

The Setup program also adds a “Microsoft C/C++ 7.0” program group, as well as icons for the following items:

C:.exe - MS-DOS CodeView C:.pif - Programmer’s WorkBench C:.exe - CodeView for Windows C:.exe - WX Server C:.exe Advisor - C/C++ 7.0 Reference notepad.exe C:.txt - “Answers” text file notepad.exe C:.txt - “Details” text file notepad.exe C:.txt - “Readme” text file
