SECTION -1-  SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Before installing BC++ 1.5 please review the minimum
system requirements listed below:

   8 MB system memory
   Intel 386 or higher
   OS2 2.1 or later
   approximately 30MB hard disk space
   CD ROM Drive {optional}

NOTE: On a compressed hard disk the installation process
might need additional hard disk space. If you are using
a disk compression utility, refer to Section 2.


SECTION -2-  INSTALLING Borland C++ for OS/2 v1.5
A) Pre-Installation Notes

1) Disk Compression:
   If you are using a disk compression utility the estimated
   available hard disk space reported might not be sufficient
   to install the product. During installation, BCOS2
   copies compressed files onto your hard disk. Disk
   compression utilities report available hard disk space
   assuming that the files copied onto the disk can be
   compressed. Since the files that are copied by the
   installation program are already compressed, the disk
   compression utility cannot compress them any further. To
   solve this, you might need to free additional hard disk
   space for the installation.

2) Upgrading:
   If you have a previous version of Borland C++ for OS2 on
   your system you will want to erase that version before
   installing Borland C++ for OS2 version 1.5.  Installing
   to a different directory will not work, as LIBPATH can
   only support one location for Dynamic Link Libaries.


B) Installation Instructions:

1. Backup your desktop.  There are instructions on how
   to backup your OS2 desktop in Appendix C of your
   OS/2 2.1 User's Guide  (Using the Operating System).

2. A) installing from the CD.
      a) Insert the BC++ installation disk into the CDROM drive.

      b) From an OS2 command prompt session, change drives to the
	 CDROM drive.  Change directories to the INSTALL directory.
	 Type install.

   B) installing from the diskettes.
      a) Insert the BC++ installation disk into drive A or B.
      b) From an OS2 command prompt, type A:INSTALL or B:INSTALL.

3. The BC++ installation screen should appear, with the
   Program Manager desktop behind it. Select the correct
   directory for the OS2 directory (ex: c:\os2).  Select the
   correct destination directory (ex: c:\bcos2).  Click on
   Tools and Library Options or Miscellaneous Options from
   the install menu if you are going to change the default
   options.  For tips on minimum installations, see Section 3.

4. Choose INSTALL to begin installation. If problems occur
   during installation, note any error messages and refer to
   Section 4.

SECTION -4-  TROUBLESHOOTING - INSTALL PROBLEMS
This section explains common errors encountered during
installation, and what to do about them.  Sometimes, system
configuration and software conflicts might cause the
installation process to fail.  If the error that you
encountered is not one of the two listed errors, you will
want to follow the generic instructions on how to solve
an installation problem. If following those steps does not
resolve the error, contact Borland Technical Support.

A) Data Integrity or Bad Sector on Disk Errors
   If you receive either one of these error messages, you
   need to get a replacement disk. Contact Borland's Disk
   Replacement Line at (800-621-3132).

B) Disk Full or Insufficient Disk Space Errors
   You could get either one of these errors if there is
   insufficient hard disk space available to install
   BC++ v1.5. Here are some suggestions:

   - Make sure your system meets the installation
     requirements. Refer to Section 1 for a list of the
     installation requirements.

   - If you are using disk compresion read Section 2
     on reported available disk space when using disk
     compression.

C) Other Errors
   There are a few identifiable errors that can be resolved
   by following an alternate installation method.  If
   you have encountered one of the following installation
   errors, or one similiar, see section 5 for the proper
   alternate installation methods for you to try.
      "Error in unpaking #####.PAK"
      "Header Sum error in PAK file"
      "Segment Load and Execute error"


SECTION -5-  ALTERNATE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

There are a few common steps that can be taken in order to
resolve most installation errors.  These steps are as follows.
If following these steps does not solve your installation
problem, contact Borland Technical Support.

1) Installation from the hard drive
   (alternate installation instructions for diskette install)
   To install BCOS2 from the hard drive, follow these steps:

   a)  From an OS2 Window or Full Screen session, create a
       temporary directory on your hard drive.
	  Ex: mkdir install

   b)  XCOPY the contents of all the installation diskettes to
       the temporary directory.  If, during the copying
       process, an error (such as Bad Sector on disk) occurs,
       refer to the beginning of this section for instructions
       on how to get a replacement set of diskettes.  If no
       error occurs, continue to install.
	  Ex: xcopy a:\*.* c:\install

   c)  Once the above step has been repeated for every install
       diskette, run the installation for BCOS2 from the
       install directory on the hard drive.
	  Ex: c:\install\install.exe

   d)  Remove contents of the temporary install directory
       and the directory itself.
	  Ex: del c:\install\*.*
	      rmdir c:\install

2) Manual installation
   (alternate installation instructions for CD install)
   To complete a manual installation for BCOS2, follow
   these steps:

   a)  Copy the BCOS2 directory from the CD to the hard drive.
       This can be done using xcopy, or another copying utility.
       (if not using xcopy, be sure to get all subdirectories
       under BCOS2).  In this example, D: is the CDROM drive,
       and C: is the destination drive.
	  Ex: XCOPY /s/e D:\BCOS2 C:\BCOS2


       If the BCOS2 directory does not exist on the C: drive
       already, XCOPY will prompt you to create one.  When it
       does prompt you, specify Y for directory.  The prompt is
       as follows:

	  The current target for XCOPY, BCOS2, can be either
	  a directory or a file name, and must be specified.
	  Respond Y if the target is a directory or N if the
	  target is a file name.

	  Does BCOS2 specify a directory (Y/N)y

   b)  Copy the contents of the OS2 directory on the CD to the
       OS2 directory on the hard drive.
	  Ex: xcopy D:\OS2 C:\OS2 /s

   c)  Change your CONFIG.SYS for OS2.
       (Note to Dual Boot users: there are two versions of the
       CONFIG.SYS in a dual boot, one for OS2 and one for DOS.
       If the CONFIG.SYS you are editing does not have a LIBPATH
       statement, then try the other config.* file.)

       Using an ASCII editor, load the CONFIG.SYS file.  After
       editing the CONFIG.SYS file, be sure to shut down and
       restart your machine, so that the change can take effect.
       There are four OS2 environment variables that need to be 
       modified: PATH,LIBPATH,HELP,IPFC,and BOOKSHELF.  PATH and 
       LIBPATH will only need to be appended; however, you may have
       to create IPFC and BOOKSHELF if they do not already exist.

       Append BCOS2\BIN to the PATH statement.
	 Ex:  PATH={previous path};C:\BCOS2\BIN;

       Append BCOS2\BIN to the LIBPATH statement.
	 Ex:  LIBPATH={previous path};C:\BCOS2\BIN;
       
       Create IPFC statement or append BCOS2\IPFC to existing 
       IPFC statement:
	 Ex.  IPFC=C:\BCOS2\IPFC;                         
	      IPFC={previous path};C:\BCOS2\IPFC    

       Create BOOKSHELF statement or append BCOS2\BIN to existing
       BOOKSHELF statement:
	 Ex.  BOOKSHELF=C:\BCOS2\BIN;
	      BOOKSHELF={previous path};C:\BCOS2\BIN;

       Create HELP statement or append BCOS2\BIN to existing
       HELP statement:
	 Ex.  HELP=C:\BCOS2\BIN;
	      HELP={previous path};C:\BCOS2\BIN;

   d)  Bring up the Borland C++ IDE.  Select from the menu options
       Project | View Settings.  From the notebook select the
       Directories tab.  Be certain that the Include and Library
       directories are set correctly.  For example, if you installed
       BCOS2 to your d: drive, in the directory called BCOS2, you
       should have the Include directory say D:\BCOS2\INCLUDE and
       the Library directory say D:\BCOS2\LIBRARY.  Once the paths
       have been changed, double click on the icon on the top
       left corner of the notebook.  Select Project | Save.  Be
       certain that all three boxes are checked, then select the
       Ok button.  The installation is now complete. In the example
       above, you can replace BCOS2 with the directory in which you 
       installed Borland C++ for OS/2.


SECTION -6-  MODIFICATIONS INSTALL MAKES TO YOUR SYSTEM
This section describes the files that are added by the install
program to your OS2 directories and modifications that are
made to the CONFIG.SYS file.  Please note that these are
example modifications based on a default installation.

In the \OS2\DLL directory:
   BPMCC.DLL

Changes made to these system files:
   OS2.INI
   OS2SYS.INI

Added to the CONFIG.SYS file:
   PATH={previous path};C:\BCOS2\BIN
   LIBPATH={previous path};C:\BCOS2\LIB
   IPFC={previous path};C:\BCOS2\IPFC
   HELP={previous path};C:\BCOS2\HELP
   BOOKSHELF={previous path};C:\BCOS2\BIN


SECTION -7-  HOW TO GET A TECHNICAL INFORMATION DOCUMENT
Technical Information Documents contain tips, techniques,
and enhanced information on using Borland development tools,
and information on commonly asked programming questions.
Such documents often include programming examples.  These
documents can be accessed via modem or fax.  Technical
files which contain binary modules, such as patches for
released Borland products, are normally available only from
those services that can be accessed by modem.  Documents can
be accessed from the following sources:

A) Fax the document from Borland's TechFax Service.
   Call (800) 822-4269 from a touch-tone phone. When
   prompted, enter your FAX number, then enter the document
   number you want to receive. The document will be faxed to
   you shortly.
   Here are two important Technical Information Documents:
      * 3       General Catalog of All Documents Available
      * 1171    Problem Report Form

B) Download the document from:
   -The Borland Download Bulletin Board Service (DLBBS)
    (408) 431-5096, protocol 8N1
   -The Borland Automated Online Service (OAS)
    (408) 431-5250, protocol 8N1
    Internet users can also Telnet ftp.borland.com 
      to access the OAS.
   -The Borland-supported FTP site on Internet
    ftp.borland.com (IP Address is 143.186.15.10)
   -The Borland-supported forums on CompuServe, Genie, BIX.
     for CIS type : Go Borland
     for BIX type: join Borland
     for GENIE type: Borland

   Below are steps to download a Technical Information
   Document from the Borland DLBBS.

   For proper display, your communication software should
   provide ANSI terminal support. Most packages provide
   VT-100 terminal emulation, which is fine for the DLBBS.
   If you are using a Windows based package, select a screen
   font (such as: Terminal) that includes extended ASCII
   characters.

   Once connected, you'll be prompted to enter your first
   and last name and a password. If you haven't used the
   service before, you'll be asked to verify your name and
   then answer a few questions. The menu-driven system
   guides you through the various product and file
   areas. You'll always receive a list of options when you
   are prompted to make any choice.

   MANEUVERING THE MAIN MENU
   First join the C++ Conference.  The Main Menu shows the
   product whose files you can access. At the Main menu,
   type "F" to select the Files menu.

   DOWNLOADING FILES
   Once you know the name of the file you want to download,
   type "D" for download at the File menu. When prompted,
   type the full name of the file or files. All Technical
   Information Documents have the form "TI#.ZIP". Replace
   the # with the appropriate document number. For example,
   to download Technical Information Document number 649,
   the full name of the file is TI649.ZIP.  If you do not
   know the protocol or download keys to press, refer to
   your telecommunications manual.

   WORKING WITH DOWNLOADED FILES
   Most of the files on the Download BBS are stored and
   transferred in an archived (compressed) format and need
   to be unarchived before they can be used. If you don't
   have the unarchiving utility PKUNZIP v.204G or newer,
   download PKZ204G.EXE from the DLBBS and execute it under
   a DOS session.  You'll receive PKUNZIP and PKZIP utilities. 
   To unarchive the file, type the name of an unarchive utility
   (UNPACK, UNZIP or PKUNZIP) and then the name of the
   archived file in a DOS session. For example:
	PKUNZIP TI649.ZIP

SECTION -8- HOW TO SUBMIT A PROBLEM REPORT FORM

   If you have encountered something that seems to be a 
   defect with the product, you can submit a problem report 
   form describing the problem.  Keep in mind that this form
   is only for problems with the product: if you need technical
   support, please refer to the README file for information on
   how to obtain technical support. This form can be obtained
   from the TechFax system as document number 1171, or it can be 
   downloaded as the file TI1171.ZIP from any of our file sites.  
   For further instructions on how to receive this form, please 
   refer to the previous section on how to obtain a technical 
   information document.
