- Installation -

To installation this software package you must carry 3 main-steps. 

1. STEP:  Tcl/Tk

? Start Windows 3.11/95/NT-System (if you use Windows 3.11 you must have 
installed the win32s.
? Start the installationprogram "tcl80.exe" and follow the instructions.
BUT PLEASE DO NOT use the proposed installation-path 
"../Program File/tcl" because the space in the directory name produces a 
lot of problems. Instead of this delete this part of the path and use for 
example only:       c:\tcl
? Doubleklick onto the file "widget.tcl" in c:\tcl\lib\tk\demos and try the 
examples.
? If you use Windows 3.11 you must do the following steps:
Edit "autoexec.bat" and insert the enviromet-settings below:
set TCL_LIBRARY=c:/tcl/lib/tcl8.0
set TK_LIBRARY=c:/tcl/lib/tk8.0
IMPORTANT: Use the UNIX slash (/)   !!!!!

Since Tcl version 8.0 and windows95/Nt the step is not needed
(Is is not obvious how the tcl interperter gets this path. I think the 
Tcl-installation makes a registration in the windows-system.

2. STEP: GNUPLOT

? Copy the wgnuplot.zip in the directory c:\wgnuplot an unpack with
? > pkunzip.exe -d gpt35win.zip
? start wgnuplot.exe and try some examples
? You can adjust your prevered windows size and position an store them :
Click on the upper left corner of the GnuPlot-terminal or graphic-window 
(in the windowmanager)-> Options -> Upadate wgnuplot.ini
? If you use the 32-bit executabel (wgnupl32.exe) instead of the 16-bit 
executable (wgnuplot.exe) you can open multi instances of GNUPLOT and 
make data-plots larger than 32k points.
To do this you must unpack the wgnupl32.zip-file and place it in the 
GNUPLOT-directory.

3. STEP: Data-Stream-Network

? Put the installationdisk in A: or copy all files in a temporary directory
? Change to A: or the temporary directiory
? > setup Disk Path
First string specifies the installation disk.Second string specifies the 
installation path. Between the first and the second string must be a 
space char. 
In the specified path it will be created the subdirectory tsa\.
Example:
   setup c:            -> c:\tsa is installations-path.
   setup v:  \public   -> v:\public\tsa is installations-path.
? Edit "autoexec.bat" and insert the setting of the TSA_HOME variable. For 
example:
set TSA_HOME=c:\tsa
? You can set a special path to store the user specific setting.
For example:
set TSA_USERCFG=c:\tsa\usercfg         (ist default for user)
In this path are save the configuration-changings, witch you make with 
the running program, too. The default (for all users) configuration 
settings are stored in tsa\cfg.
? Edit tsa.ini in c:\tsa\cfg\ or in TSA_USERCFG and set the variables 
below. (The variable-settings in the second path overwrite the first 
settings.)
[TSAini]      
AsciiEditorPath = Path to your favourite ascii-editor.
TmpPath         = Path to a existing temporary-directory
GnuPlotPath     = Path to GnuPlot f.e. c:\wgnuplot\wgnuplot.exe
HTMLViewerPath  = Path to your favourite html-viewer 
    example:
    C:\Progra~1\Intern~1\iexplore.exe 
       In Win95 you must find out the shortcup for the long filename
       with the dos-shell and DIR-command
    D:\Programme\Plus!\Microsoft Internet\IEXPLORE.EXE
NetPath         = Default Directory to load new a net
DataDir         = Default Directory to load new data
[END]

4. Checking

The Installation is now complete. Reboot the computer and check if all 
variables are existed and correct (with >path and >set ).
If some variable are wrong correct them. Maybe you must enlarge the 
enviroment size with "shell=c:\dos\command.com  e:/1024" in your config.sys

5. First Start

Create a new Windows and insert a link from c:\tsa\bin\dsnet.exe (or 
dsn386.exe or dsn486.exe, depends on the software package) in it. 
Doubleclick on this icon and lets hope the program will start. Adjust the 
windows-size and position and store them with 
    -> Options -> Save Windowgeometrie. Do the same with the debug-window 
and store with Button: "Save Options".
If you bind the *.net extension to the DSN-executabel by the windows-shell, 
you can open a net-file with double-click in the explorer on it.

Now, you should read the Winword 97 Document tsa\help\dsn.doc
or the equivalent HTML-documemt tsa\help\dsn.htm . 

Tip:
You can adjust the general font size of the program in the file 
tsa\cfg\mytkint.tcl
Look in it for the variable MediumFontSize. After changing you must restart 
the program.

Good luck and enjoy it
