Introduction to GINSTALL
To use this program, simply type "GINSTALL" under the Dos prompt.
It will ask you to move your mouse for at least 3 seconds in order
to see if your mouse is functional. Once it detects your mouse, it
will show the COM port or PS/2 port that the data is coming from.
Then it will automatically install the mouse driver for you.
This installation program is capable of installing the mouse
driver automatically into your config.sys file by detecting which
COM port or PS/2 port your mouse is connected to. It will also
insert or replace your mouse device command line (device=gmouse.sys)
into your config.sys file.
This program will detect any existing mouse command line in your
autoexec.bat and delete it in order to prevent two mouse drivers
coexisting after system bootup.
After the installation, you can reboot your system or go ahead and
run the GTEST program to test cursor movement (By hitting any key
the program will launch GTEST automatically for you).
Example :
< Before Ginstall >
Config.sys => Buffers=30
Files=25
Device=c:\dos\ansi.sys
Device=c:\tree\menu.sys
Autoexec.bat => prompt $p$g
path=c:\;c:\mouse;c:\tree;c:\dos;
lmouse
treemenu
======================================================================
< After Ginstall >
Config.sys => Buffers=30
Files=25
Device=c:\dos\ansi.sys
Device=c:\tree\menu.sys
Device=gmouse.sys
Autoexec.bat => prompt $p$g
path=c:\;c:\mouse;c:\tree;c:\dos;
treemenu
# The ginstall program will create two backup files for you. if you
already have config.sys & autoexec.bat on your system before running
ginstall. The two backup files will be named autoexec.old & config.old #
