The author's instructions
III. Installation
A. Copy the required files:
LXMusic.exe (main program)
CGA.bgu (graphics driver support)
clef.txt (data for drawing clefs)
to a directory of your choice and then run
LXMusic.exe.
The additional files may also be copied. These are:
lxmusic.icn (an icon for LXMusic which can be
used when LXMusic is added to
the System/Application Manager)
usrguide.doc (this file you are reading right
now)
and all the .m music sample files.
B. An example of the process of installation:
Assuming you want to install LXMusic on your C: drive
into a directory called LXMusic then this a possible
way of doing so:
1. Create the directory LXMusic on your C: drive.
There are two ways to do that. One is using the HP
Filer from the System Manager and the other is to
use DOS. I will demonstrate how to use DOS to
create the directory.
a. Go to a DOS prompt from your System Manager
b. Type: C:
c. Type: md LXMusic
2. Copy the files mentioned above to this directory.
Assuming you have the files on the A: drive and
they are in the directory "temp" (i.e. a:\temp)
a. Type: copy a:\temp\lxmusic.exe c:\lxmusic
b. Type: copy a:\temp\cga.bgi c:\lxmusic
c. Type: copy a:\temp\clef.txt c:\lxmusic
The rest of the files can be copied in the same
way.
3. To copy the .m (i.e. music files) in one shot
type:
copy a:\temp\*.m c:\lxmusic
