To install Access Pack by hand
1) Exit Windows to return to the MS-DOS prompt.
2) Open the SYSTEM.INI file by using a text editor.
3) Find the section labeled [boot].
4) In the [boot] section, find the entry labeled "keyboard.drv=".
5) The following entries indicate that you are already running an
older version of the Access Pack keyboard driver:
keyboard.drv=ap-kbd.drv
keyboard.drv=ap-kbdhp.drv
keyboard.drv=ap-kbdol.drv
If the entry in the [boot] section of your SYSTEM.INI file matches
any of these, you need to copy the newer version of the
corresponding .drv file to the Windows SYSTEM directory. For
example, if the Access Pack software is located on a floppy disk
in yo ur A: drive, and your SYSTEM.INI file reads
"keyboard.drv=ap-kbd.drv", and Windows is installed in the WINDOWS
directory on drive C:, then you should type the following command
at the MS-DOS prompt:
copy a:ap-kbd.drv c:\windows\system
The following entries indicate that you are running a keyboard
driver compatible with a corresponding Access keyboard driver,
If your entry says: change the entry to: and copy file:
keyboard.drv=keyboard.drv keyboard.drv=ap-kbd.drv ap-kbd.drv
keyboard.drv=kbdhp.drv keyboard.drv=ap-kbdhp.drv ap-kbdhp.drv
keyboard.drv=kbdoli.drv keyboard.drv=ap-kbdol.drv ap-kbdol.drv
Instructions for copying the appropriate file to the Windows
SYSTEM directory are explained in the preceding paragraph.
If your entry does not match any of those listed here, then your
computer may not be compatible with the Access Pack software.
Contact your computer manufacturer to find out if your computer
can be used with any of the Access Pack keyboard drivers.
5) In the [boot] section, find the entry labeled "mouse.drv=".
If the entry says "mouse.drv=ap-mou.drv" then you are already
running an older version of the Access Pack mouse driver. You
need to copy the newer version of the AP-MOU.DRV file to your
Windows SYSTEM directory.
If the entry says "mouse.drv=mouse.drv" then you are running
standard keyboard drivers which can be replaced with the
corresponding Access driver. Copy the file AP-MOU.DRV to your
Windows SYSTEM directory, and edit the entry in SYSTEM.INI to say
"mouse.drv=ap-mou.drv".
If your entry does not match any of those listed here, contact
your mouse manufacturer to find out if your mouse is compatible
with the Microsoft mouse driver, or if the manufacturer has an
Access driver available.
If you cannot install an Access mouse driver, you will not be able
to use the Access Pack MouseKeys feature or control the mouse using
the SerialKeys feature, but you will still be able to use the
keyboard-related features.
6) Copy the following files from the Access Pack into your Windows
directory:
ACCESS.EXE
ACCESS.WRI
ACCESS31.HLP
ACCESSU.DLL
IBMMKEYS.BMP
SKWIN.BMP
For example, if the Access Pack software is on a floppy disk in
drive A: and Windows is installed in the WINDOWS directory on
drive C:, then you should type the following commands at the
MS-DOS prompt:
copy a:access.exe c:\windows
copy a:access.wri c:\windows
copy a:access31.hlp c:\windows
copy a:accessu.dll c:\windows
copy a:ibmmkeys.bmp c:\windows
copy a:skwin.bmp c:\windows
Note: If you are running Microsoft Windows version 3.0, you should
copy the file ACCESS30.HLP instead of ACCESS31.HLP.
7) Start Windows, and then create a program item for the file
ACCESS.EXE.
For more information about creating program items, see Chapter 3,
"Program Manager," in the "Microsoft Windows User's Guide."
