hi yall got a klh 2800 that is older than dirt but after alot of working on it and some help from people in 3.1 forum it is up and running but will only run dos so decided to use it as a kitchen laptop for recipes found a program for it but dont know how to move it from the floppy to the hard drive and into dos the recipes files the program which is meal master set up on the hard drive but having to run the program itself from the floppy can someone tell me how to move it to the hard drive in dos thanks in advance for any help sorry new to working with dos --can operate other operating systems and move programs and everything with them but still really new to dos liz

Should be pretty simple Liz. If you can run the program directly from the floppy you simply need to move the contents of the floppy to a directory on your hdd: Here goes: From the C:\> prompt, type md master or cookin or mealmast...whatever you like for a directory name; it's only limited to 8 characters. Next type: xcopy a:\ /s c:\master When that's done type: cd master You should now see this: c:\master If you type the dir command you should see an identical copy of the floppy and you can use the program just like you did from the floppy except, it'll be faster.

Basically you create a directory on the HD with mkdir command. DOS names can be no longer than eight characters. something like this: mkdir c:\recipe copy a:\*.* c:\recipe\*.* DOS is sometimes pretty cool. If you add a /? switch to the end of a command, you will get a little help for it. Try: copy /? or - sometimes better 'cause it has more funtionality: xcopy /? other command you may need: mkdir Makes a directory ren renames file(s) or directory del deletes file(s) rmdir removes directory cd change directory; cd \ gets you to root of drive If you have MSDOS, there may be a file you can run called help in the DOS directory.

Glad to see that you got it working, Follow Skip's post to get it installed to your HDD. Windows 3.1 will, WFW needs 2Mb. but will be slow, (should) run on it with 3Mb., I have it running on 3.5Mb./ 386sx 16Mhz. Customer: Do you have any mouse pads? Salseman, pointing: Over there. Customer: Great!, will they be comadible with my computer.

thanks for the help skip and rick i got the program there and running great i really appreciate the help alot liz
