These instructions assume you have Version 2.0 or greater of BPI and that
you have installed it on the ProFile according to the BPI Manual. This will
allow you to place all of the programs for BPI on the ProFile and eliminate any
need for the floppy disks. The BPI General Accounting Software uses most of
the 256K of memory available in the Apple III. Catalyst 2.0 is designed to
have all of the necessary drivers, Apple III Pascal options, and graphics space
allocated so all the application programs can work. Therefore, since the
memory space is limited, the SOS.DRIVER file must be kept to a minimum and NO
graphics drivers can be installed. The following driver list should be
adequate:
.CONSOLE .QUARKCOM
.PRINTER or .SPOOL .UNUSED 1-6
.CATALYST
.PROFILE
NOTE: You may conserve an additional 6K of memory by selecting the QUIT
option from the SYSTEM UTILITIES main menu. This will take you to the Pascal
Command Line. Select "O" and a menu will be displayed. Select option "B" and
make the Apple II disk routines NOT resident. Once this is completed, press "Q"
to quit.
These instructions assume you are moving BPI to a ProFile (with the driver name
of .ProFile), and that Catalyst is installed. Substitute the name of your hard
disk driver for .PROFILE if you wish to install BPI on another brand of hard
disk.
