Steps
- Copy STS.EXE, STSET410.EXE to A:\SOFT. They are DOS programs: run them from the DOS icon, or add A:\SOFT to the PATH in C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT to call them by name.

The author's instructions
setup program is named STSET401.EXE. IN ORDER FOR STEREO SHELL TO
FIND AND EXECUTE THE SETUP PROGRAM, IT MUST EXIST SOMEWHERE IN THE
USER DEFINED DOS PATH.
>> Sec. 1.3 RUNNING StS THE FIRST TIME
It is strongly suggested that the user create a sub-directory
named STEREO and copy all of the files associated with StS into
that sub-directory. If there is space on the C: drive for this
sub-directory that is the recommended place for it. StS uses an
integrated external setup program (see above) that must reside in
the DOS path so it is also suggested that the user edit the path
statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to include the STEREO sub-
directory. If you have no path statement, then add the following
line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. PATH=C:\STEREO\
To execute StS, just type in STS at the DOS prompt like you
would any other program. StS is not resident or special with respect
to general operation with one exception. StS expects to find the
COMSPEC environment string defined. In 99% of all cases MS-DOS has
already done this job for you so no action is required by the user.
In the event that StS does not find this string, it will report the
error. If this happens, then simply add this statement to your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. SET COMSPEC = C:\COMMAND.COM If you are not
running a hard disk, you should adjust the drive letter as required.
When executed, the StS screen will appear on your display, in
living black and white. The system defaults are set to direct
screen writes which allow the program to operate on any type of
