Installing Customizing (Windows)

One disk is mailed as a part of this package. It includes all of the files you need to run MacNail Customizing, in 'compressed' form.

To load MacNail Customizing onto your hard disk:
1. If you have purchased several MacNail modules, install the other modules first, using the printed instructions that come with the floppy disks.
2. If you are already in DOS at the DOS prompt, proceed to step 3. If you are in Windows, switch to the Program Manager, open the Main window, and double click on the DOS Prompt icon.
3. Put the MacNail Customizing disk into your floppy disk drive.
4. Switch to your floppy drive by typing A:\ then the Enter key.
NOTE: If the MacNail floppy disk is in some drive other than the A drive, type B:\ or the letter for the drive which contains it.
5. At the A: prompt, type LOADCUST -d c:\ then hit the Enter key. If you would rather install MacNail onto your D drive or some other drive, end the command line with d:\ or some other drive letter instead.
WARNING: It is extremely important that you type -d (hyphen d) to insure that MacNail's directory tree is loaded properly. There must be spaces before and after the -d.
6. You may be asked whether to replace the MacNail Manager (MACNAIL@.XLM). Type y for yes so the latest version will be installed.
7. A copy of the latest MacNail Manager (MACNAIL@.XLM) and a CUSTOM directory will be installed on your hard disk, inside the MACNAIL directory installed previously by the other MacNail project management software modules.

8. When you open the MACNAIL directory, it should look similar to the illustration on the following page. You may not have all of the listed MacNail directories if you have not purchased all of the MacNail modules or have not yet installed them on your hard disk.
9. Make sure that the contents of your Customizing directory look similar to the illustration on page 12.
10. The installation is now complete, and you can proceed to the next chapter.
