JAWS for DOS Freeware Installation Help





It is recommended that you download the "JDOSFREE.EXE" file to a temporary
directory on your hard disc. Note that the file is to large to download to
a floppy disc and then extract it. We suggest going to a DOS prompt and
change to the directory where you saved the file by typing CD\followed by
the directory name and pressing the enter key. Now type the name of the
file which should be JDOSFREE and press the enter key. The files will
extract to the same directory where the original file resides. Once the
files have been extracted you need to copy them to a floppy disc. DO NOT
include the JDOSFREE.EXE file as part of the group of files to be copied.
Next make sure you are logged onto the floppy drive which contains the disc
with the JAWS files. The prompt will most likely say, "A:, or B:". You can
now type "install" without the quotes to begin installing the software.



The opening screen will appear in a few seconds and you can just press
Enter here to continue the rest of the install.



The next screen is the keyboard choice screen and the default choice is
"desktop". Make your selection and press the Enter key.



The next screen gives you a chance to select the drive where you want to
install to, and the default is "C:". You can edit the choice, or just press
the Enter key to accept the default.



This screen is where you can specify the directory name where you want the
program to install to and the default is \JAWS. This path can also be
edited, or just press the Enter key to accept the default.



The next screen will give you a list of available synthesizers to choose
from. Use the arrow keys to select the correct synthesizer from the list,
and press the Enter key to continue.



This screen will have choices for installing the JAWS manuals, and
different configuration files for JAWS to work with other programs. The
default will install everything. Make any selections and press the Enter
key to continue.



The next screen will ask what version of WordPerfect you are using. The
default is Word Perfect 6.0. Use the arrow keys to select a different
version if you need to, and press the Enter key to continue.



This screen has a list of the choices you have made so far. If everything
is correct just press the enter key to continue, or escape to quit, and
rerun the install.



Next you will be asked if you want to have JAWS change the "autoexec.bat".
The default is to let JAWS make the changes which will allow JAWS to run
automatically. You can use the arrow keys to make any changes. Press the
Enter key once you have made your choice.



Now you will be told that the install is ready to begin copying files. Just
press the Enter key to continue.



The next screen will show any changes that have been made to the
"autoexec.bat" file. The original "autoexec.bat" has been renamed to
"autoexec.bak". Press the Enter key to continue.



The next screen may tell you you might need to install additional utilities
for the synthesizer you have chosen once the JAWS FOR DOS installation is
complete. Press the Enter key to continue.



The last screen tells you that the installation is complete and you need to
remove all discs from the drives and reboot the system for JAWS to work
correctly. Press the Enter key to finish the installation. Remove all discs
and reboot the system.



If you had JAWS change the "autoexec.bat file", you should hear JAWS speak
during the reboot of the computer. If JAWS doesn't speak you may need to
start it manually from a DOS prompt. You can do this by typing CD\ followed
by the directory name where you installed JAWS and pressing the Enter key.
Next type "JAWS" without the quotes and press the Enter key to start JAWS.



Note that additional installation tips, and instructions can be found in
the JAWS manuals provided within the program software.
