MS-DOS | WINDOWS | OS/2

Summary:

When installing the Microsoft Source Profiler version 1.0 to work in

conjunction with other Microsoft language products, there are several

setup issues that may need to be addressed to avoid problems or

confusion.

More Information:

The default for the Profiler Setup program is to create the following

directory structure:

\PROFILER\BIN - MS-DOS/Windows binary and .BAT files

\PROFILER\BINP - OS/2 protected mode binary and .CMD files

\PROFILER\HELP - PROFILER.HLP and new PWB.HLP

\PROFILER\INIT - TOOLS.PRE

\PROFILER\SAMPLES - Sample files for BASIC, C, FORTRAN, and TAB

output

For the Profiler to work correctly with other Microsoft language

products, some of the files in these directories should either be

moved or their contents should be added to existing system files. To

ensure your system is configured correctly, perform the following

steps:

1. Move PWBPROF.MXT from the \BIN directory to the directory that

contains the DOS version of PWB so that it will automatically be

loaded along with the other extensions.

2. Move PWBPROF.PXT from the \BINP directory to the directory that

contains the protected mode version of PWB so that it will

automatically be loaded along with the other extensions.

3. Place PROFILER.HLP and PWB.HLP in a directory pointed to by the

HELPFILES environment variable. Since it is important to use the

new PWB.HLP rather than an existing version from a language

product, the best method is to copy these files from the new

\PROFILER\HELP directory to the language \HELP directory that

contains your existing help files. If you want to conserve disk

space, you can then then delete the files in the \PROFILER\HELP

directory.

4. Follow the instructions on pages 9 and 10 of the "Microsoft Source

Profiler User's Guide" in order to properly configure your system's

CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, STARTUP.CMD, TOOLS.INI, and Windows

SYSTEM.INI files.

5. If desired, you can conserve further disk space by deleting the

SAMPLES directories and files for languages that you do not have or

use.
