Speech Filing System Release 4/Windows

INSTALLATION NOTES

Contents:
1. Installation of HTML Help
2. Set up for command line use
3. Configuration for special languages
4. Environment configuration
5. Known problems

-------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Installation of HTML Help

SFSWIN uses the Microsoft HTML Help libraries.  If these are not
installed on you system, you will not be able to view the help
documentation.

An installation program for HTML Help is supplied.  Run this after
SFS installation is complete.

For Windows NT4 you may need administrator privileges to install
HTML Help.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Set up for command line use

No further configuration is necessary if SFS is to be operated
only from the SFSWIN control program.

However if you wish to use SFS from the command line, you should
ensure that the SFSBASE/Program directory is included in the 
path list of directories searched for executable programs.

For Win95/98 the easiest way to do this is to add a line such as

	set PATH=c:\progra~1\sfs\program;%PATH%

to the end of the file C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT (assuming that you have
installed SFS into "c:\program files\sfs".

For WinNT/2000 put the PATH statement under Control Panel/System
Properties/Environment/User variables

-------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Configuration for special languages

The special languages: SPAN, K-SPAN and SPC require the use
of a 32-bit C/C++ compiler on the system.  SFS Release 4/Windows
is compiled with Microsoft Visual C/C++ Version 5/6.  The batch files
supplied with this release are set up for this compiler.  It is 
possible that other products will also work, however you may need
to adjust the configuration in SPAN.BAT and KSPAN.BAT.  The 
configuration of SPC is set inside the spc pre-processor program
and cannot be changed.  It is possible that a combination of
the "-C" switch to spc and a batch file could make SPC work with a 
different compiler.

To use the SFS special languages ensure that the compiler is
operational from the command line.  Try to compile one of the
example programs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Environment configuration

SFS version 3.3 required the use of many environment variables
to configure its operation.  Most of these variables are not 
required in SFS Release 4/Windows.  You are advised to remove
the statements that set these variables or to change them to
the values shown below:

	set GTERM=win32
	set GPRINT=winprint
	set DAC=win32
	set ADC=win32

The following environment variables may still be useful:

	set GSIZE=800x600

sets start-up size for DIG graphics windows (here to 800 pixels
wide by 600 high).

	set GPRINT=bitmap

forces printout to be stored in GIF file "dig.gif" instead of
being sent to printer.

	set GPRINT=LPT1

will force output to be sent (in postscript) directly to printer.
This provides superior print output in some cases.
