Command: install
INSTALL runs a TSR program (a program that stays in memory), without
an environment, instead of using something like lh or loadhigh.
INSTALL loads a TSR program into low or conventional memory,
whereas INSTALLHIGH loads the TSR program into high memory.
INSTALL is a CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS command.
Syntax:
install=[drive][path]filename [options]
drive The drive letter, e.g. C:
path The directory, e.g. \example\
filename The filename of the tsr to run, e.g. test.sys
Options:
options These are the options which will be passed to the TSR. They are
not options for the 'install' command.
Comments:
INSTALL loads the program specified by drive:\path\filename. It is
generally used to load TSR (terminate and stay resident) programs with
a minimal environment block. The options are for the program itself;
refer to documentation that came with your particular software for
supported options and usage.
INSTALL is a command internal to kernel.sys and needs no other file
in order to work.
Examples:
IN CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS:
install=C:\fdos\bin\ctmouse.exe
