Steps for Windows or Windows for Workgroups, Versions 3.x
---------------------------------------------------------
If you are running Microsoft Windows 3.x, follow these steps. When copying files,
exit Windows and copy from the MS-DOS command prompt. Allow MS-DOS to overwrite
any files it finds already on your hard drive.
1. Create a folder on your hard disk called C:\Strav. For example, type the
following at the MS-DOS command prompt and press ENTER at the end of the
line:
"md c:\strav" (without the quotation marks)
2. Copy all the files from the D:\Strav folder to the C:\Strav folder. The files
are:
- Glossary.idx
- Index.dat
- Index.map
- Index.nam
- Readme.txt
- Strav.exe
- Strav.map
- Strav.mgf
- Strav.mpf
For example, to copy Strav.exe, type the following at the MS-DOS command
prompt and press ENTER at the end of the line:
"copy d:\strav\strav.exe c:\strav" (without the quotation marks)
3. Create a folder in C:\Strav called Illus256.
For example, type the following at the MS-DOS command prompt and press ENTER
at the end of the line:
"md c:\strav\illus256" (without the quotation marks)
4. Create a folder named Hd in the folder created in step 3.
For example, type the following at the MS-DOS command prompt and press ENTER
at the end of the line:
"md c:\strav\illus256\hd" (without the quotation marks)
5. Copy all the files from the D:\Strav\Illus256\Hd folder to the
C:\Strav\Illus256\Hd folder. Use the XCOPY command since there is a 0-byte
file that is not copied using the COPY command. For example:
"xcopy d:\strav\illus256\hd c:\strav\illus256\hd" (without the quotation
marks)
6. Copy all the files in the D:\Strav\Msstp\Shared folder to the
C:\Windows\System folder.

C:\Windows\System folder.

9. Use a text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad, to make the following changes
to the Strav.ini file, which is located in the Windows folder. If the
Strav.ini file does not already exist, create one in the Windows folder with
these entries:
[strav]
Cdpath=D:\Strav
Hdpath=C:\Strav
10. Use a text editor to make the following changes to the Windows information
files, which are located in the Windows folder:
