loading / running converter
Unfamiliar with DOS?
If you are using Windows9x on your computer, you can press [F8] just as Windows begins to load in
order to bring up a boot menu, from which you can select “command prompt only” to boot into ‘pure
DOS’ (“command prompt only”). Or, you can boot out of Windows9x by selecting ‘Shut Down’ from the
Start menu, and selecting “Restart in MS-DOS Mode”.
In general, the best and easiest approach for running converter on a computer running Windows9x or
higher is to create a self-booting floppy disk with converter installed on it; using this approach enables
converter to be automatically run with its own
autoexec.bat
settings by simply inserting the floppy
and booting (or re-booting) your computer. The converter .zip archive contains a self-extracting floppy
image which creates a self-contained bootable floppy disk with converter installed on it, ready to run.
See the appendix in this manual that discusses this procedure.
If you installed converter on your hard disk: After booting into DOS, change to the directory (folder)
where you installed converter by using the cd command, either
cd..
to move back one directory level,
or
cd convert
to move into a directory (where convert is the name of the directory). Once in the
appropriate directory, run converter by simply typing “
c
“ and pressing enter.
Problems?

If converter fails to load and function properly, make sure to check the troubleshooting
appendix of this manual – there may be something about your computer’s configuration that
has been overlooked. If your problem is not solved there, try posting in the forum on our
