NOTE: nnn stands for current version number, i.e. 305,... 1. copy petpennn.zip to your hard disk, preferably NOT to the directory you want to install into. copy a:\petpennn.zip c:\tmp 2. unzip petpennn.zip (you must have pkunzip.exe) PKUNZIP PETPEnnn.ZIP 4. setup (defaults from where it is to c:\pe) SETUP If you want to get fancy with SETUP.EXE, below are some additional options: SETUP needs the following files (minimally) to work properly: SETUP.EXE KEY.PED <- setup.exe cannot run without this file PED.EXE <- very important that it be intact as one file README.1st <- not critical, this file DOC.EXE <- not critical, but explains pE in detail *.TXT <- not critical, but nice It en-extracts PED.EXE from where it is into the specified (or default c:\pe) directory. It copies README.1st, DOC.EXE and all the .TXT files into the same directory. It then changes to that directory. It then marks pE with your name, personalizing your copy. IT MUST COMPLETE ALL OF THESE STEPS IN ORDER TO INSTALL PE CORRECTLY. It then starts pE. Type Setup d1[:] d2:\path where D1 = the drive where setup is located and D2:\path is where you want pe installed. (defaults are current drive and c:\pe) If d1: and d2: are both floppies, they must be different. NOTE: If system was booted from floppy, command.com must be copied to distribution disk before install. setup a: b:\ installs pe from a: to b:\ setup a: c:\pe installs pe onto drive c: from a: setup c: c:\utils install pe into directory utils of drive c: from the current directory (also on drive c:). pE documentation is located in a self extracting archive named DOC.EXE. To un-extract simply type DOC on the command line. A message in DOC.EXE provides further information.
