Install your C compiler if you have not already done so, and make sure that your hard disk has at least 6 megabytes of free space remaining. (Most of this space can be reclaimed after the installation is complete.)
If you have Microsoft or Turbo C or C++, and a Microstar Laboratories DAP 1200- or 2400-series analog interface board, you can instruct the `install' procedure to compile `sample' (a program for creating database records from analog signals, and for replaying them in analog form). To do so successfully, you must first have installed the Microstar `#include' files and DAP interface library on your system. Specifically, files `c_lib.c', `clock.h', and `ioutil.h' must be installed in your `include' directory, and file `cdapl.lib' must be installed in a directory in which libraries are found by your linker. (If you are using Microsoft C, copy `cdapl5.lib' from the Microstar distribution diskettes into your library directory, and rename it `cdapl.lib'.)
If you are installing the software from a CD-ROM, load the CD-ROM and type:
d:\src\install
(replacing d by the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive).
If you are installing the software from a diskette, load the diskette into the
a drive and type:
a:install
(or b:install if you must use the b drive).
Follow the instructions that are presented on-screen to complete the installation. Depending on the speed of your system and of your C compiler, the automatic portion of the installation will generally require from 5 minutes to an hour once you have selected the configuration.
