Tape Librarian Version 3.0 - Demonstration Edition Installation

INSTALLATION

Installation of the Tape Librarian is relatively easy.  The first step 
is to identify the drive and directory in which CMS's TAPE.EXE program 
resides. Probably C:\TAPE.  Copy the self extracting file TAPELIB3.EXE
into this directory. Attach to the directory and type "TAPELIB3" and 
press ENTER.  After the DOS prompt has returned type "TL" to start the 
Tape Librarian system. (TAPELIB3.EXE can be deleted at this point.)

During the initialization of the Tape Librarian system, it checks for 
existence of CMS's TAPE.EXE program. If TAPE.EXE is not found you will 
receive a warning message. If you receive a warning message, please 
ensure that the correct file is present and that it is located in the 
same directory as the Tape Librarian system. 

The program will also check for and validate the system's KEY and DATA 
files. The first time you run the Tape Librarian system you will 
receive a series of messages indicating that the KEY and DATA files 
could not be found. Please follow the instructions to create the 
files. If, in the future, you receive these messages again you should 
quit out of the system and investigate the cause of the warnings. 

When all Catalogue Files have been successfully validated you will be 
presented with the Main Menu Screen. The Main Menu will display four 
choices; Catalog, Search, Print, and Exit. Main Menu items may be 
accessed by pressing the tab/arrow keys until the desired choice is 
highlighted, and pressing ENTER to select. Main Menu items may also be 
selected by pressing the appropriate ALT+ letter keys or by clicking 
on them with the left mouse button. Please note that throughout the 
Tape Librarian pressing the right mouse key is the same as pressing 
the ESC key and that all items may be selected by positioning the 
cursor over them and pressing the left mouse button.

This demo will allow you to catalogue all volumes on one tape. The tape
id will always default to DEMO TAPE. Give it a try and let us know what
you think. Thanks
