Install OPENCP intoC:\OPENCP
by typing:Then you can modify your autoexec.bat and add the new directory to the path statement. The new path might look like
- C:
CD \
- MD OPENCP
- CD OPENCP
PKUNZIP -D C:\[theRightDirectory]OPENCP
path c:\windows;c:\windows\command;c:\opencp
.
The following files are (at least) required to start OPENCP
cp.exe | the startup file used to start the OPENCP runtime system |
cp.ini | the initializition file read by cp.ini to configure itself |
cp.pak | the DLL library where all modules are stored |
As OPENCP is a Watcom program it normally needs the DOS4GW extender to use protected mode. But DOS4GW has some minor bugs and is a huge program. The file cplaunch.exe is an alternative dos extender started automatically by OPENCP. You should include this file in the directory too.2.1
When OPENCP loads a module the information stored inside the file is read and
stored in a special file (the module information chache). Actually the
cache splits up into three files:
cparcs.dat | Information about archives and files stored inside |
cpmdztag.dat | ? |
cpmodnfo.dat | Informations about various modules |
If you install third party plugins they will be located in the main directory too and included into the OPENCP runtime system at startup.
The doc directory contains documentation files in various formats and release notes etc. You can savely delete this directory if you are running out of disk space.
