Installation

Installing the HA program involves two steps:
  1. Place the HA.EXE executable where the HA computer can find it
  2. Create a boot diskette for the HA computer.
To complete the first item of the installation, copy the HA.EXE file to the following network directory:
\\BULLWINKLE\laser\140foot
Thats it! Creating the boot diskette is almost as simple. All of the files needed by the boot diskette can be obtained from the network directory:
\\FREYA\LaserComputerSystems\140footencoders\agent86\DiskImage
To create a boot diskette, do the following:
  1. Format a diskette on a DOS equiped computer using the command line:
    C:\format a: /s
    
    This will create a bootable system diskette.
  2. Copy the contents of
    \\FREYA\LaserComputerSystems\140footencoders\agent86\DiskImage
    
    to the root directory of the boot floppy.
  3. Place the diskette in the HA computer's A: drive and restart it. The HA computer will boot, make an FTP connection to the NT host bullwinkle, download HA.EXE, and run it.
