INSTALL

How to install the program from the source code:

To compile the source code you need:

1.  Borland Turbo C++ 3.0 or compatible.
2.  The included source code and header file for fdisk.exe.
3.  A PC running some form of DOS.  (Probably greater than MS-DOS 4.0.)


Instructions:

Note:  I used Borland Turbo C++ 3.0 as a compiler, the instructions will
       vary depending upon the compiler used.

1.  Run the GUI version of Borland Turbo C++ 3.0 by typing "tc"
2.  Go under "File" on the menu bar at the top of the screen and load
    the source code.
3.  Go under "Compile" on the menu bar and select "Build all."
4.  Exit from the compiler and you will have the executable.


Optional:

Include the "part.dat" file in a directory in the PATH to give
the program enhanced partition type lookup capability.
 
Include the "fdisk.ini" file in a directory in the PATH to be able
to set some commonly used options.

Use the APACK program, by Jeorgen Ibsen, to turn the executable into a 
small, packed executable.  The command to do so is "apack -x fdisk.exe
fdiska.exe"  Then delete the fdisk.exe file and rename the fdiska.exe
to fdisk.exe.
