Each set of programs is in a different directory on the
CD-ROM. These directories are described in the following
table:

INSTALLATION
=======================================================
To install Softdesk modules from the \supercd\products directory:

1. Change to the \supercd\products directory on the CD-ROM.

You must run the installation from the DOS command line. Do
not install from a DOS Shell from within Windows.

For example, if the CD-ROM is installed as the E: drive, and


you want to install a module, you would type the following:

C:\> e:
E:\> cd \supercd\products
E:\supercd\products>

2. Run the load.bat batch file. Use the following syntax:

load [A] [B]

The two variables should reflect the following values:

Variable Value
======== =====
A drive letter of CD-ROM

B drive letter for temporary installation


files

For example, to install from a CD-ROM in the E: drive, you would


type the following:

load e c

Note: If using MS-DOS version 5 or earlier, you will need to also enter
one of the following product choices on the command line as a
third parameter:

Code Module
==== ======
0 Softdesk Core
1 Softdesk Productivity Tools

For example, with DOS 5.0 to install Core from a CD-ROM in the E:
drive, you would type the following:

load e c 0

3. A list of modules for installation is displayed on the screen.


Type the character that corresponds to the module you want to
install, or type X to end the installation batch file.

From this point, the installation continues as described in the


Installation Guide provided with Softdesk Core. The
installation program prompts you for any information required
to install the selected Softdesk product.

When the installation is complete, the list of module is


displayed again. Install another module, or select X to end
the installation batch file.

To install CAD Overlay Classic you must be in Windows.

1. Start Windows.

2. Select the Run command from the Program Manager File menu.

Classic manual. When the installation program prompts for
additional disks, select the OK button to continue.
