1.1.1 Mouse Requirements
Either a bus mouse or serial mouse can be used with the DLS-1 v6.7 software.
However, if you are using a bus mouse, the mouse card must be set for IRQ 5 or
greater. Refer to your mouse installation manual for more information on how to
change the IRQ settings. Mouse support is only available when editing PC5015,
PC5010, PC5008, PC4020, PC4010, PC4000, PC1575/1580, PC1565-2P, PC1555/
1565, PC580/585 and Sur-Gard files.
1.1.2 Printer Requirements
The DLS-1 v6.7P software can support a parallel printer connected to LPT1, LPT2
or LPT3 (parallel port 1, 2 or 3). An 80-character printer that uses IBM Character Set
1 is suggested. Refer to your printer’s manual for the specifications of the printer you
are using.
1.1.3 Networking Support
Networking support has been added to the DLS-1 package, so that multiple users can
run DLS-1 over a local area network (LAN). When using networking support, you can
have one main DLS-1 installation which will include the workfiles, and auxiliary
installations on other machines which will have access to the workfiles of the main
installation. Refer to section 1.3 "Installing the DLS-1 Software" for more information.
NOTE: All DLS-1 installations running on a LAN, must have the same security stamp
in order to share workfiles.
NOTE: DLS-1 is compatible with Microsoft Networking. Operation with other Networks
has not been investigated by DSC. In order for the DLS software to operate, your
Network Administrator will have to make sure that each DLS user has full (read/write/
rename/delete/file locking) access to the directories where the DSC customer work
files (WF) and batch files (JOB) are located.
NOTE: If DLS-2 is being used to access DLS-1 workfiles, please ensure that the
DLS-1 is not running in a network environment.
1.1.4 Memory Requirements
For DLS-1 v6.7P to run correctly, your computer must have a minimum of 590K of
conventional memory available for DLS-1 v6.7. To find out how much conventional
memory is available, at the DOS prompt, type [MEM].
The computer displays the available conventional memory beside the title “Largest
Executable Program Size”.
If less than 590K conventional memory is available, you may encounter “Error 7”
messages, or other problems when you run DLS-1.
If your computer does not have enough conventional memory, it is possible to edit the
AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files so that more conventional memory is
available when you start the computer.
NOTE
::
::
: Changing the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files may cause the computer
to stop working or cause errors in other programs. Only your system administrator or
qualified computer technicians should make changes to these files.
DLS-1 versions 6.3 and higher have network support capability. As a result, DLS-1
versions 6.3 and higher used on operating systems other than Windows95, require
that the file SHARE.EXE is included in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. See section 1.4
“Installing DLS-1 - step 15”, and Appendix B “Autoexec.bat” for more information.
