INSTALLATION
============

(1) Download

     kash22aa.bin
     kash22ab.bin
     kash22ac.bin
     kash22ad.bin
     kash22ae.bin

    from our ftp site. Download i(and install) winzip95.exe
    if unzip.exe is not installed on your system.

(2) Unpack KASH using the commands

     copy kash22aa.bin/b+kash22ab.bin/b+kash22ac.bin/b+kash22ad.bin/b+kash22ae.bin kash22.zip
     OS/2: unzip kash22
     DOS:  pkz204g and pkunzip -d -o kash22
     WIN95:  double click kash22.zip in the Explorer
     WIN-NT: double click kash22.zip in the Explorer


    which creates a directory named KASH_2.2 including some subdirectories.
    In the sequel, let us assume, that the complete path is C:\KASH_2.2.



(3.a) OS/2
    If you're using OS/2 simply go into the Kash_2.2 directory
    (wherever it's located) and type
    install
    This should add an icon to your workplace (Arbeitsoberfl"ache).
    To start KASH simply double click this icon.

(3.b) DOS
    Add C:\KASH_2.2 to your path variable
    and define the environment variable KASH
    by adding the line SET KASH=C:\KASH_2.2\LIB.
    In addition, you should add a line
    SET EMXOPT=-c -s20000 -p

(3.c) Windos 3.1
    Same as DOS

(3.d) WIN95
    
    First, lets try a shortcut: just double click on
    Kash_2.2.pif
    (using the explorer). If you're lucky, thats it, otherwise
    we'll do it the hard way:

    If you are adventurous, you should try the NT installation. If
    you're successful, the resulting interface is much nicer.

    This is complicated, since I don't know how to program the install
    wizard/shield. If anyone
      - succeed in installing kash under WIN95
      and
      - know's how to do this using an free-install program, I would
        really like to know about it. I would make it part of the official
        KASH distribution.
    Back to work.
    The problem in the following installation process arises from the fact
    that WIN95 istallations are likely to be different, i.e. the
    menu's have a different number of entries, the names differ widely
    depending on the language, ...
    I will give the proper names of the menu-items in Deutsch and English
    (special thanks to Jonathan Sands for the English translation and
     F. Xavier Noria for the Spanish version)

    - Start the WIN95 explorer and open the directory containing kash.
      We'll asume this is C:\KASH_2.2
    - single click with the RIGHT mouse button on rsx.exe
    - activate "Create shortcut" or "Verkn"upfung" or "Crear acceso directo"
      (the first item in the third block of this menu)
      Now you've got a new file, named
      "Shortcut to rsx.exe"
      "Verkn"upfung mit rsx.exe"
      "Acceso directo a rsx.exe"
     - single click with the RIGHT mouse button on this new file
      and activate the "Properties" "Eigenschaften" "Propiedades" menu,
     - a "note pad" should appear, having 6 pages called
      "Programm", "Memory", ...
      "Programm", "Speicher", ...
      "Programa", "Memoria", ...
     - open the "Program" "Programm" "Programa" page and change the
       following entry:
       "Cmd line" "Befehl" "Linea de comando" (?)
         from "C:\KASH_2.2\RSX.EXE" to
              "C:\KASH_2.2\RSX.EXE -c -Rx -Rs20000 -Rz KASH -l LIB"

       After everything is working, you should activate the
         "close window on exit"
         "Bei Beenden schliessen"
         "Cerrar al salir"
       button.
     - open the "Memory" "Speicher" "Memoria" page and change the DPMI entry
       to 65535 (you'll have to enter the number by hand)

     - click OK and try to execute (open) the new file by
       double clicking with the LEFT mouse button.
       If you see the KASH-logo - OK it's working. If not, (SHIT)
       and you have no clue about the reason, please send us a mail
       containing at least the complete error message appearing on the
       new window.


     - try
        ?About KASH
      for a step-by-step introduction.

(3.e) WIN-NT
    - Start the WIN-NT explorer and open the directory containing kash.
    - execute Kash.exe

    - try
        ?About KASH
      for a step-by-step introduction.
